Tyga has dropped his $10 million lawsuit against Birdman after he accused the Cash Money founder of screwing him out of royalties for years.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Tyga has informed the court he is voluntarily dismissing all claims against Cash Money and Young Money in the lawsuit.
The entire case will be closed as a result.
Last year, Tyga sued Cash Money and Young Money Entertainment for allegedly refusing to pay him royalties for the albums "Careless World" and "Hotel California" after they parted ways in 2016.
In the lawsuit, Tyga claims he made requests for the money owed but so far … nothing. The rapper sued for breach of contract and sought $10 million in damages.
Cash Money previously denied all allegations of wrongdoing and demanded the lawsuit be tossed along with Tyga be ordered to pay their legal bills.
The two sides appeared to be heading towards a settlement but those talks fell apart.
Birdman came back following the talks breaking down and claimed Tyga was the one who owed Cash Money a ton, claiming he was paid advances that had yet to be recouped.
