Lil Kim announced her first studio album in 14 years was on its way last month. How- ever, according to a recent In- stagram Story, the release date has been pushed back.

LOS ANGELES, CA – Tyga put an end to his legal battle with Birdman. T-Raww dis- missed all claims against Cash Money Records and Young Money Entertainment after suing them for $10 million, ac- cording to documents obtained by The Blast.
Tyga filed a lawsuit last year in which he claimed the labels owed him money following his 2016 exit. The “Taste” creator sued for a breach of contract, alleging unpaid royalties for 2012’s Careless World and 2013’s Hotel California al- bums.
