The ongoing Birdman vs. Lil Wayne beef took an ugly turn a few weeks ago, when police documents linked Stunna and Young Thug to a shooting of Wayne's tour bus that occurred on April 26th. One of the main pieces of evidence cited by law enforcement was that someone (police insinuated it was the suspect, Jimmy Winfrey), placed a call to Birdman on a phone owned by the Cash Money boss just after the incident, but now Baby is looking to set the record straight.

A source close to him told TMZ that the outgoing call came from someone in Wayne's camp who was complaining about Winfrey, who had been kicked out of a club for "harassing Wayne" just before the shooting. The source elaborated by saying that everyone from Wayne's people to Cash Money employees to Winfrey himself use company phones technically owned by Birdman, so police can't be certain that it was Winfrey calling him.
