Lil Wayne hit with another lawsuit
October 8th, 2010 - 11:33 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Oct 8 (IANS) Rapper Lil Wayne’s legal woes continue to mount as he is set to be served with another summons by a court while he’s still behind bars.
Michael Bradford alleges he hasn’t received royalty payments for creating the beat for Wayne’s hit single “Mrs. Officer”.
The producer claims he was responsible for coming up with the beat, five years before it was reworked by Deezle, who was given the producer’s credit for the song.
The “Lollipop” hitmaker is set to receive the complaint for copyright infringement and a federal court summons before he finishes his term at New York’s Rikers Island prison.
The hip-hop star began a year-long sentence in March after pleading guilty to gun possession charges.
