According to court documents, Jas later approached Lil Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant with a new deal demanding more money.
Jas ended up filing a lawsuit seeking $4 million dollars from Birdman and Cash Money, claiming he was cheated out of royalties.

Bryant now says he only signed the new deal because he thought he might be killed if he didn't.
Drake is not involved in the lawsuit.
