Cash Money/DJ Drama Mixtape Lawsuit Thrown Out Of Court

Cash Money Records lawsuit against mixtape DJ Drama is a thing of the past.

The record labels case was thrown out by federal court judge Miriam Cedarbaum, for failure to clearly state any causes of action upon which relief could be granted, lawyers for DJ Drama told AllHipHop.com.

The dismissal marks the end of the conflict between Cash Money and Texas based independent distributor BCD Music Group, which was also named in the labels complaint.

In February, Cash Money filed its lawsuit against Dramas Aphilliates Music Group, BCD, Makin Moves Entertainment and others amid claims that the music of Cash Money rapper Lil Wayne, was created and distributed illegally through mixtapes.

The suit, which was part of an ongoing case against BCD, centered around three volumes of Dramas Dedication mixtape series as well as Happy Fathers Day, featuring music by Lil Wayne and Baby and Frank Ninos When the North and South Collide.

News of the lawsuit triggered speculation concerning tension between DJ Dram, Lil Wayne and the mixtape community in general.

The turntablist dismissed the rumors in April as he noted how the accusations against him were misplaced."

This is not a case of Lil Wayne vs. DJ Drama. Me and Wayne are good, Drama stated.

I am confident that this matter will be resolved quickly without harming the relationship between myself, Wayne and Cash Money Records.

Cash Moneys lawsuit was an amended version of a previous complaint that was withdrawn after being served.

Despite the outcome of the case, BCD's lawyer, Wallace Collins, Esq., revealed that Cedarbaum gave Cash Money until September 9 to re-file a second amended complaint if they choose to further pursue the case.

If the complaint is not filed, the dismissal will be deemed final and with prejudice.
