Lil Wayne has filed a lawsuit against the film company that produced the recent documentary, The Carter. The 26 year-old rapper alleges that the production company, headed by music producer and son of legendary musician Quincy Jones, QDIII, failed to give him the final approval over the film as promised.

The docu-film recently debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January, but Wayne claims that he was not given final approval over the film as was agreed upon before the documentary even went into production. He also claims that the film portrays him in a negative light.

In December of last year and again in January of this year, production companies screened the film for Lil Wayne’s manager who asked that the objectionable content be removed from the film. However, Weezy’s camp alleges that the production companies still put forward a “scandalous portrayal” of the rapper at the Sundance Festival without his knowledge or approval.

    I believe Lil Wayne is well within his rights on this. I have not seen the doc…but if he is to have final say so and did not have that…..and he thinks he is portrayed in a negative light. That is defimation of character…a sueable(if thats a word, lol) offense. Especially if any of the negativity is not true.

    There is Nothing Positive about Lil Wayne

    Really cjc923? There is nothing positive about a young, rich black man employing many and inspiring many more? You may not like rap, or Wayne in particular, but you cannot deny his influence and success.

    As for him suing the doc makers, the camera doesn’t lie…

    cjc923, kick rocks homie! burgstyle82, well put! i think he is well within his rights. i’ve been knowing wayne most of my life and i know he’s a good person with a good heart. he got dealt some raw cards early in life, and he has made the most of it. he may make bad choices at times, but who doesn’t? u live, u learn. thats no reason to unleash biased opinions on him. a person who does as much for their community and others as wayne cant be all bad!
