A judge has granted Lil Waynes motion to dismiss a $20 lawsuit filed against him by the multi-platinum selling rappers former lawyer. Lil Wayne has scored a victory in his legal battle with his ex-lawyer. According to Radar Online a judge has granted a motion to dismiss a $20 million lawsuitagainst Lil Wayne. The judge determined the suit was incorrectly filed in California when the case shouldve been litigated in Florida, where Weezy lives and works. Ronald Sweeney, Lil Waynes former attorney, suedhis ex-client for unpaid commissions. Sweeney, who began working with Weezy in 2005, maintains he became the rap superstars manager when Cortez Bryant was fired in 2018. The lawsuit alleges Weezy failed and refused to pay Plaintiffs his promised 10% of the recovery from lawsuits, 10% of the sale of master recordings owned by Lil Waynes record label and then 17% in general commissions that he owes to Plaintiffs in connection with Plaintiffs day to day management activities. These missed payments include Sweeneys supposed work on the New Orleans natives settlementwith Cash Money Records. The Young Money founder claims Sweeney was never his manager. He also contends Sweeney wasnt even involved in the rappers settlement with Cash Money Records. Weezy says he hired other lawyers to handle it. Lil Wayne, who insists he doesnt owe Sweeney any money, has countersued his former attorney. Hes accused the lawyer of overcharging him in fees for years. Sweeney has denied those allegations.
