Weezy’s four claims in former manager’s suit dismissed
Lil Wayne suffers a significant hit in the lawsuit filed by his former manager Ronald Sweeney. Per Law.com, Appellate Division rejected four of Tunechi’s claims in the suit for “causes of action for fraudulent inducement, legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment.”
Sweeney’s $20 million lawsuit claims the “A Milli” lyricist “failed and refused to pay plaintiffs his promised 10 percent of the recovery from lawsuits, 10 percent of the sale of master recordings owned by Lil Wayne’s record label, and then 17 percent in general commissions that he owes to Plaintiffs in connection with Plaintiff’s day to day management activities.”
Sweeney’s lawyer John Harris said his client “will vigorously pursue his claims for payment and require Lil Wayne to appear in court to answer for his actions.”
