In the United States, the fourth of July weekend is usually dedicated to celebrating independence in all of it shapes and forms—whether that means independence from England, independence from your vegan diet, or independence from laws that dictate what you are and are not allowed to blow up in your backyard. Rapper Lil Wayne, on the other hand, used the weekend to protest his continued lack of independence from his label, Cash Money Records. In January, we reported that Lil Wayne was suing Cash Money for $51 million for refusing to release his latest album, Tha Carter V. He also hasn’t been paid various advances that he was promised, so he’s arguing that if the album won’t pay him or release his album, then he should be let out of his contract.
