Lil Wayne Loses 'Tha Carter' Lawsuit Against Quincy Jones III

posted in: Music News • Urban

Die hard fans who can’t wait to see Lil Wayne consume copious amounts of weed, sizzurp, and luxury goods while recording his critically acclaimed 2008 album Tha Carter III are in luck. Weezy himself isn’t as fortunate, though. According to TMZ, Wayne has lost his lawsuit against Quincy Jones III, the filmmaker responsible for Tha Carter, a documentary chronicling Wayne’s life surrounding the production and release of his sixth studio album. Even though Wayne allowed the filmmaker uninhibited access to his personal life during the filming process, after viewing the documentary, Wayne attempted to legally block its release due to what he deemed an unfavorable portrayal of himself. Now, not only has Wayne lost his case against Jones, but he has been ordered to pay the filmmaker’s production company over $2 million in compensation for profits lost due to the delayed release of the film. It probably didn’t help that Wayne was unable to show up for the last few days of the court case due to his recent health problems, and was instead represented by his hilariously insolent deposition footage. And if the actual movie is anything like Wayne’s deposition clip, it’s definitely going to be worth seeing.
