Lil Wayne has scored a major victory in his legal battle with Birdman and Cash Money Records.
The New Orleans rapper and his lawyers have been attempting to get an accounting of where $70 million of a $100 million advance from Universal Music Group, that was supposed to be split between Cash Money and Young Money Records went.
Birdman claims the funds were used to pay royalties, recording costs and for marketing.
Wayne's legal team isn't convinced that's true.
According to TMZ, the 20,000 pages of legal documents Birdman previously handed over to Weezy's lawyers have been deemed useless. They want a more accurate accounting and a judge agrees, ordering the Cash Money Records co-owner to open his company's books.
The accountants at Cash Money haven't done a good job keeping track of where funds have been allocated, but the judge in the case isn't accepting that as an excuse and has given Birdman 30 days to comply with the ruling.
Wayne is currently suing Cash Money for $51 million.
