LIL WAYNE DOCUMENTARY GETS GREENLIGHT DESPITE LAWSUIT


I guess Lil Wayne is having a tough week since a state court judge has refused a request by the rapper to block the release of QD3 Entertainment's documentary "The Carter."

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael S. Mink denied Wayne's request for a preliminary injunction this week.

The film, written and directed by Adam Bhala Lough, was an official selection at Sundance.

Wayne sued QD3, QD3 topper Quincy Jones III and Digerati Holdings last month, alleging Wayne was not allowed to exercise his right of approval over the contents of the film.

Reps for Wayne were not immediately available for comment.

Jones said Tuesday the ruling frees QD3 to seek distribution of the film.

"We're very pleased with the court's decision," Jones said. "We made a great film, which was incredibly well received at Sundance, and showcases Lil Wayne's extraordinary talent."
I tell you that free speech stuff is a trip. And can I just confess that I'm still hella salty at QD3 and his peeps for attempting to remake "The Last Dragon"...stop it!!
