It has been alleged that Young Thug and Birdman were involved in a shooting at Lil Wayne's tour bus in April. 

The court indictment cites that the pair worked with gunman Jimmy Carlton Winfrey, Young Thug's tour manager, and are members of the Bloods Street Gang. Winfrey faces multiple charges relating to the April 26th shooting. 

It's said that Young Thug's video 'Halftime' (above), which shows Jimmy Carlton Winfrey with an assault rifle and contains lyrics about Lil Wayne, translates to the real life shooting.

Birdman's label Cash Money, which Young Thug is also a part of, has been involved in a dispute over Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI Mixtape. Lil Wayne sued the label for $51 million, a supposed instigation for the attack which noone was hurt in.
