Lil Wayne not dropping album Rebirth?

Universal, Lil Wayne’s record label, has pushed his album back from April 7th to May 9th and are said to be against the release of his rock album Rebirth.

The label is said to be worried about Wayne maybe losing credibility and segregating himself from his rap fans if he releases a rock album. So, trying to be polite to their No.1 artist, they’ve pushed it back hoping he’ll then decide not to release it. They’ve also supposedly told Cortez Byant, Wayne’s manager, that they will publicly stop it if Wayne still decides to go ahead with it.

So are they right or wrong to be doing this? Should artists not have the freedom to make music that they want to or should the labels be controlling what we hear?
