The business relationship between <a href="/profile/LilWayne" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lil Wayne</a> and <a href="/profile/Birdman" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Birdman</a> has been muddy for years, including lawsuits, public spats, reconciliations, and more. It&#8217;s been a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/unraveling-lil-wayne-and-birdmans-lengthy-road-to-reconciliation-news.91091.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">drama-filled ride for the two respected rap figures</a> and, with the release of Tha Carter V a couple of years ago, it seemed as though they had finally put their differences aside. After growing Tunechi&#8217;s career as a unit, Birdman and Lil Wayne became mortal enemies but things have changed and these days, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-wayne-and-birdman-prove-father-and-son-ties-run-deep-news.89125.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">they&#8217;re apparently on good terms</a>. During the <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/2020/02/birdman-talks-lil-wayne-drake-nicki-minaj-everyday-struggle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">latest episode of Everyday Struggle</a>, Baby suggested as much.

Prompted by DJ Akademiks to speak about his relationships with the former Cash Money core of Lil Wayne, <a href="/profile/NickiMinaj" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Nicki Minaj</a> and <a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a>, Birdman claims to have great ties with each one of them. &#8220;I got a great relationship with Drake, I got a great relationship with my son Wayne, always looked at Nicki as a little sister,&#8221; he says at the 24:35 mark in the interview. &#8220;Everybody in a good space, we put the past behind us and we&#8217;re moving forward.&#8221;
Stunna then specified that he does business with all three of them before expanding on the state of his bond with Weezy in particular. &#8220;We happy as a motherfucker, man, we came up,&#8221; said Birdman at the 44:35 point. The veteran rap mogul admits that things between them were &#8220;weird&#8221; for years but that, after the recent NBA All-Star Game, Wayne called him with some positive words. &#8220;We happy with each other, we talk all the time. That&#8217;s my son, like, that&#8217;s why I could never say anything negative about him no matter what. I would never do that shit,&#8221; says Birdman, noting that Wayne told him after the game that he would never have been able to make it without his help.
