In recent news, Lil’ Wayne is being sued by a young woman who suffered a broken collar bone and other injuries at a concert held at Tennessee State University.
Her injuries were received as a crowd of people rushed the stage to catch money Lil’ Wayne had thrown at the audience.
Along with Lil’ Wayne the woman is also suing Tennessee State University and another man involved in the incident; she is suing all three for a total of $150,000.
Despite this current lawsuit, Lil’ Wayne continues to tour alongside rapper Young Jeezy as part of the Street Dreams Tour.
Tha Carter 3 will be released sometime this year.
