TMZ is reporting that although he recently filed documents to dismiss his Florida federal lawsuit against Birdman and Aspire Music Group, he plans to file again in New York. Prince is seeking millions in unpaid royalties and claims to be the one who brought Drake to Young Money.

According to TMZ, Prince filed new legal docs to get Cash Money to fess up to just how much revenue Drake has generated for the label. Prince is credited for discovering the Toronto rapper, and aligning him with YMCMB. | CLICK HERE FOR DRAKE: A YEAR IN REVIEW | The Texas native says he’s helped Birdman’s imprint make $40 million of the reported $84 million Drake has brought them over the years. Cash Money has so far paid Prince at least $1 million, which is far below what he says he’s owed. Prince contends to signing Drake to Young Empire Music Group, and bringing him over to Aspire Music Group around 2008. The company, which is co-owned by Wayne’s manager, Cortez Bryant, reportedly signed October’s Own to a label and management deal with distribution through Cash Money, and Universal Music Group.

Is The Alleged Murderer Of Doe B Out Of Jail?

The sad fact is that Doe B was one of the most promising rappers. He was signed by T.I. He was from Alabama. And he had a very loyal following. He was killed in December of 2013. After he was killed there was a tremendous amount of drama. His murder was tragic to say the least. Anyway, AllHipHop has unverified sources with AllHipHop have told us that Doe B’s accused murderer is out. The police sought to put him away for life, but simply didn’t have the evidence to do it. Remember, Doe B was shot in an infamous Alabama nightclub, known to be unsafe by locals. Some have made it clear that Doe was set up and somebody (aka “security”) let the killer in – allegedly. Anywaym lets not forget Kimberlie Johnson, who was also killed on that fateful night. There were six others that were injured by the fracas. Sadly, these folks may never see justice. On the music side, our sources are absolutely positive that there will be more Doe B music to come. So, look out for that. RIP DOE B.
