Lil Wayne’s Attempt To Block Documentary Fails

Lil Wayne was in court Friday, June 12


California Superior Court Judge Michael Mink denied Lil Wayne‘s request to prevent the release of “private and sensitive” material in an upcoming documentary about the rapper.


The documentary, entitled The Carter, was the subject of deliberations on Friday (June 12). The film will be released by Digerati.

Attorneys had previously called the documentary a “scandalous portrayal” of their client, and named QD3 Entertainment, Quincy Jones III and Digerati as defendants.

“Lil Wayne’s reputation and the value of his identity can be diminished by an unauthorized use of his image and persona, or by association with a movie or purported ‘authorized’ documentary that, in reality, does not meet with his approval and depicts him in a negative light and/or engaged in criminal conduct,” alleged the lawsuit.

In addition, Mink awarded sanctions against Wayne and his attorneys in the amount of $5,000, which must be paid within a 30-day period.

Finally, Wayne must appear for deposition at Digerati’s attorney’s offices by July 31, during which time he will explain what exactly he finds harmful in the documentary pertaining to his current criminal cases.
