MUSIC BITS: Baby aka Birdman is finally speaking out against Lil' Wayne who wants to leave Cash Money. Well according to Baby it won't be that easy and he believes that a contract is a contract. Just when we thought this wasn't going to get ugly. It looks like it just might after all. I feel like if an artist is not happy where they are let them go. Why hold them in contempt? Congratulations are in order for Memphis Bleek, he just tied the knot and his old friend Jay Z was there by his side. Now I wonder if Beanie Sigel got married, would Jay Z attend that wedding?
