Lil Wayne Wins $29,225 Judgment From Lawsuit Where He Was Sued

Lil Wayne has reportedly won a $29,225 judgment from a lawsuit in which he was accused of assaulting a security guard.

On Wednesday (June 10), a California judge ruled that the plaintiff, Christian Carlos, and his attorney must pay the five-figure amount and cover Lil Wayne’s legal fees after the court determined they had repeatedly disobeyed discovery orders. The judge dismissed the lawsuit, which was set to go to trial in August.

“The court is granting terminating sanctions because the plaintiff willfully refused to comply with three discovery orders over nearly ten months, made affirmative misrepresentations to the court about compliance, and has still provided no responses as of April 21, 2026,” the ruling stated.

Carlos filed the lawsuit against the New Orleans rapper in December 2023, claiming that Lil Wayne had punched him in the ear while threatening him with a gun during an incident at Wayne’s Hidden Hills, California, home in 2021.

“Plaintiff suffered severe emotional distress, requiring him to seek mental health treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stemming directly from this incident,” the lawsuit claimed.

A source informed TMZ that the altercation arose when Lil Wayne confronted the security guard about taking photos and leaking them to the media. Lil Wayne’s representatives have denied that the incident occurred.

Naijahomeland has contacted Lil Wayne’s team for a comment.

Lil Wayne is currently preparing for the North American leg of his 20 Years of Carter Classics Tour, which is scheduled to begin later this month.
