Rapper LIL’ WAYNE is being sued by promoters in Florida for missing a concert date and refusing to reschedule.
Nunoise Entertainment and Jahfari Promotions, both based in Tampa Bay, filed the lawsuit last Friday (19JAN07), in the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit claims the rapper, real name DWAYNE CARTER, signed a contract on 18 September (07) to perform at a Tampa nightclub on 29 October (07).
According to the lawsuit, Lil’ Wayne missed the event and returned a $15,000 (£7,700) deposit, but he still owes promoters $45,000 (£23,000) for cancelling the show.
The 24-year-old was also obligated to schedule another performance in the Tampa Bay area to make up for the missed date, but has not done so. According to the promoter’s lawyer, MARLOWE BLAKE, "He did miss a date, he admitted he missed a date, and he was supposed to make it up. It’s a simple breach of contract type of matter." Besides the $45,000 in actual damages, the lawsuit also claims the star’s cancellation caused more than $200,000 (£103,000) in lost profits from the concert.
