LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 28: Rap Artists Lil Wayne (L) and Birdman perform onstage during the 2009 BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on June 28, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.

*A judge is ordering Bryan “Birdman” Williams to show receipts in his legal battle with Lil Wayne.

According to TMZ, the co-founder of Cash Money Records will have to open his books to account for $70 million that Lil Wayne claims he was owed from a $100 million advance from Universal.

Birdman’s lawyers say they’ve already produced more than 20,000 pages of financial documents to Wayne’s legal team. But Wayne’s attorneys claim those are useless, and they want an actual, black-and-white paper trail.

According to TMZ, Birdman’s financial team hasn’t keep very good track of the label’s records for the past two years. Birdman’s lawyer told TMZ of their sloppy bookkeeping, “It is what it is.”

The judge, however, wasn’t trying to hear it. Birdman has been given 30 days to find the proper records and hand them over to Wayne.
