Lil Wayne sued by jet hire company
Bosses at an aircraft rental company have launched legal action against rapper Lil Wayne, accusing him of failing to pay his jet bills.
Executives at The Signature Group have filed suit against Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, Jr, and his Young Money Entertainment partners, demanding $1 million .
In documents obtained by Courthousenews.com, the firm's lawyers
write, "As with many such artists, Mr. Carter appears to enjoy the
finer things in life: expensive cars, a mansion in La Gorce Country
Club on Miami Beach, and private aircraft travel for himself, his
agents, and members of his entourage, to worldwide destinations of
his choice.
"Naturally, the enjoyment of such luxuries is not free, and Mr.
Carter and his putative Florida limited liability, defendant Young
Money, have failed to live up to their obligations and now owe
plaintiff, Signature Group, over one million dollars in fees and
charges relating to Mr. Carter's jet-setting around the globe on
private aircraft leased to him by plaintiff."
