Footage Of Lil Wayne's Deposition Is The Best Video You'll Watch All Week
posted in: Music News • Pop • Urban
Lil Wayne is going to court! But he’s not the one on trial this time. In fact, it’s Wayne who’s bringing suit.
Wayne, or Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. for legal purposes, is taking Quincy Jones III to court over The Carter, the documentary focused on Lil Wayne that Jones III had a hand in producing. While Wayne had initially agreed to let a film crew follow him around the time of The Carter III’s writing and release, Wayne has since attempted to block the release and distribution of the documentary. The two have been legally entangled for years. In this most recent round of legal wrangling, Wayne had to be questioned by Pete Ross, Jones III’s lawyer, in a deposition which was recorded for reference or evidence at some point down the line.
All of that information is just to provide a bit of context for the clip below, in which Wayne delivers a performance that showcases an obstinance and hostility that feels like it was honed in the back of the class right before the detention slips were handed out for the day. From the hoody over the head to the empty stare to the answers ranging from a slew of “I don’t recall[s]” to one liners like “That’s a stupid ass question” and “I’m sorry, that’s my psychic.” It is perfect and awesome and hilarious and wonderful. Kudos to those wizards over at TMZ for digging this up.
