Cash
Money CEO Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams, rapper Young Thug and other members of
their entourage have been named in an indictment alleging they conspired to
kill rapper Lil Wayne over a business dispute.
From
WSBTV
Channel 2 Action News
has uncovered an indictment filed in Cobb County in June that alleges Williams
and another rapper named Bryan Williams, aka Birdman, were involved in a RICO
conspiracy to kill Lil Wayne when his tour bus was shot up in April. The
indictment also says all of the men are members of the Bloods gang.
The
indictment alleges that Dwayne Carter (Lil Wayne) and Bryan Williams (Birdman)
had a business dispute concerning Lil Wayne’s contract with Cash Money Records.
Lil Wayne owns a portion of the record label. Birdman is one of the co-founders
of the record label.
Lil
Wayne later dismissed the lawsuit “due to venue issues while problems continued
between (Lil Wayne) and (Birdman).”
The
indictment alleges that Young Thug made a threat against Lil Wayne and tour bus
shooting suspect Jimmy Winfrey carried out that threat.
Winfrey
is also known as “PeeWee Roscoe” and affiliated with Rich Gang. Birdman is a
part of the Rich Gang rap group which was formed by Cash Money Records in 2013.
The
indictment goes on to say that Winfrey was driving the white Chevy Camaro that
fired shots at Lil Wayne’s tour buses the night of April 26 after a police
escort left the buses.
“After
Atlanta Police discontinued their escort, (Winfrey) and fellow Blood Gang
members entered Interstate 285 from Atlanta Road in Cobb County in pursuit of
the buses occupied by (Lil Wayne’s) group,” the indictment says. “(That’s when)
the white sports car pulled beside the buses, shots were then fired into the
buses from the sports car with a .40 caliber handgun and a 9mm handgun.”
The
indictment goes on to say Winfrey had a photo of the Camaro posted on his
Instagram account and attempted to erase it following the shooting. The Camaro
was later found at the home of one of Winfrey’s relatives.
Young
Thug and Birdman have not been charged in the incident.
Winfrey’s
next court appearance is Friday
