Birdman Accused of Using Lil' Wayne in Scheme

Posted Oct 15th 2008 7:50PM by TMZ Staff

Fool a concert promoter once, shame on you. Allegedly fool a concert promoter three times -- you're getting sued.

Birdman -- the guy who runs Cash Money records -- is being sued for allegedly taking $275,000 to put on a Lil' Wayne concert in Miami ... and then backing out over and over again. Now the promoter wants his money back.

But the best part of the suit, filed today in L.A. Superior Court, is that Birdman is accused of backing out of one of the shows because "the weather was too cold." In Miami.

Meanwhile, Birdman was photographed giving Lil Wayne a briefcase filled with a million dollars in cash last week. Makes ya wonder...

32. They are both so ugly and untalented. "Birdman" does birdcalls...I am not kidding...and it's considered "genius".

33. I was always a fan of tmz, tmz why do you allow such racist comments to be prodcast? I will never visit your website or watch your program again. I know you probably don't care, but if you did negative remarks would never be shown.

34. So why are these blacks always campaigning for someone to take MY money away from me to help the people in their old neighborhoods. Why don't they do it themselves...if they really cared about the inner city poor folks they sure could do a lot. You never hear about black philanthropists.

35. I like how some of the money in the briefcase appears to be in Euros......I guess he plans on hedging against inflation and currency gains/losses.

37. If blacks expect whites to get a job, and give away the money to the poor....of course I would expect the same from them.
