Lil Wayne announced earlier this week that he’s going on tour with Blink 182 this summer. While he’s gearing up for the tour life, his former lawyer has filed a lawsuit surrounding the rapper.
The Blast reports that Lil Wayne’s former lawyer Ronald Sweeney has filed a lawsuit against Mack Maine and Wayne’s former manager Cortez Bryant.
According to The Blast, “Sweeney claims he worked with Lil Wayne for nearly 14 years and provided around-the-clock services to the rapper for 10% of the income of the deals he worked on.” Sweeney claims that he helped the rapper and his businesses earn millions over the years.
The publication continues, “The lawyer claims he became Wayne’s protector from his record label, personal managers, other unsavory and unethical professionals, Wayne’s childhood friends and even “from Lil Wayne himself.”
In September 2018, the lawyer says Wayne ended his relationship with him because of “false and misleading allegations” by Mack Maine and Cortez Bryant. Maine and Bryant are childhood friends of Wayne.
Sweeney accuses the childhood friends of a conspiracy based on greed. He claims their intention was to get him “out of the picture completely.”
The former lawyer is suing for defamation and unspecified damages for the alleged millions he helped Lil Wayne gain.
