Lil Wayne has had some wild experiences during his career. Recently, he revealed that a Major League Baseball team once forced him to redesign the logo for his Young Money record label.
Weezy shared the story during a Sept. 16, 2026 appearance on The Joint Venture Show. While speaking to host Craig Carton about his first condo in Miami, Wayne recalled the dwelling’s door having a Young Money logo on it.
“Was the Young Money door one of the dumb expenses you had when you were 19?” Carton inquired. Wayne explained that it was actually a gift, and one he truly cherished. That was, “Before the Yankees sued me,” Wayne said.
According to the “Lollipop” rapper, the Yankees front office felt that his label’s “YM” logo “looked too much” like the “NY” logo the team has long been known for. “They just sent me a cease-and-desist,” Wayne explained. “And I had to stop using it…I just changed my logo.”
In retrospect, Wayne doesn’t hold it against the MLB organization. He actually considers it a high point. “I felt more cooler getting a letter from the Yankees,” he quipped.
Lil Wayne founded Young Money Entertainment in 2005, as a collaboration with Cash Money Records. Over the years, the label has been responsible for the rise of major hip-hop stars like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga.
The label has mostly been inactive since 2020.
