Something is rotten in the state YMCMB. Although he initially shrugged off the possibility of a rift between Birdman and Lil Wayne, Wayne's Young Money imprint and Cash Money Records, Cortez Bryant now seems to be singing a different tune. Last night, Wayne's longtime manager took to Instagram to more directly address the mounting drama. The crux of his message? "[Lil Wayne] don't deserve the shit he's going through at this point in the game." Here's the full spiel:
@LilTunechi built Young Money from his dreams to reality. Launched the careers of @Drake @NICKIMINAJ @Tyga not from their talent but from the belief in what he saw that they saw in themselves and put everything in making sure they fulfill their dreams! That's what Young Money is about That's the DNA of the real Lil Wayne Sacrifice himself to want his artist to be better! Wayne carried Cash Money on his back for over 10 years when he could have left and did this on his own The most loyal person I know on earth! He don't deserve the shit he's going through at this point in the game. One thing for sure Two things for certain @mackmaine and myself will not let this dream die WE GOT US! #YOUNG MONEY #sorry4forthewait #freeCV
And for all our other artists that's been loyal from the beginning and patiently waiting for their number to be called! That's coming too! The world also will see what Wayne saw in them that's Jae Millz Gudda Gudda Cory Gunz Lil Twist Shanell ! Once we unlock these chains It's on Young Money!

"Once we unlock these chains It's on Young Money"—here's to hoping that means Carter V (which is possibly done) comes soon, and Sorry 4 the Wait 2 comes sooner.
