AceShowbiz - Tyga's problem with Cash Money isn't over yet, even after he finally released what's supposed to be the last album in his contract. According to TMZ, the label's boss Birdman got super upset after the rapper dropped his oft-delayed "The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty" and encouraged his fans to listen to it via free streaming services like Spotify.
After hitting Spotify without prior notice last month, the album arrived on iTunes a few days later. However, it only sold about 2,200 copies in its first week because fans could stream the project for free.
Sources told the site that Birdman never approved of the rollout method and believed Tyga purposefully pulled the "childish" stunt to get out of his Cash Money deal and sign with Lil Wayne.
Because of the flop, Birdman is reportedly not counting "The Gold Album" towards T-Raww's contract, meaning he still has one more project to be released under the label before he's a free man. Birdman is also said to be ready to take legal action against the "Ayo" rapper if he refuses to comply.
