If you remember, Lil Wayne’s jet was searched by authorities last year and they reportedly found drugs, a gold-plated firearm and ammunition. He was “released” to leave the scene but was charged with the crime in November 2020.
In further Wayne news, his former manager Ronald Sweeney is suing him for at least $ 20 million. Sweeney claims Wayne hired him in 2005 to help renegotiate his deal with Cash Money Records. He is also said to have fired Wayne’s longtime road manager Cortez Bryant. While Sweeney successfully fired his road manager, Sweeney claims that Bryant and Mack Maine formed a wedge between him and Wayne that ultimately fired him. Wayne recently sold his masters to Universal Music Group, reportedly for more than $ 100 M.
