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.
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
