After a nasty rumor flooded the internet recently, concerning Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae's "death," which by the way (thank goodness!) turned out to be false, anything else probably doesn't seem that serious. However, the 25-year-old rapper has other troubles now....
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. aka Lil' Wayne has been accused by New Orleans jeweler Jack Sutton of not paying off a debt - a $146,000 debt! Miami-Dade Circuit Judge, Scott Silverman's order states, "Final judgement is hereby entered against the defendant. Carter owes Sutton $146,000 - which sum shall bear interest at the rate of 11% a year." Now that's a lot of moola!
Carter, allegedly purchased a $138,000 diamond ring and a $32,000 gold and diamond necklace from Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry in the fall of 2006. The deal went down by telephone with Lil' Wayne agreeing to make monthly payments. He made one $24,000 payment and then that was it. Sutton then filed suit, last October, but took 8 months to serve the singer with the complaint.
The lawyer for Sutton expects payment soon - or the item may get returned (the $138,000 ring), which would pay off most of the debt. Lil' Wayne's lawyer has said, "We reached a settlement. Everybody's happy."
You'd think that would be enough of a money problem to deal with but Carter also owes back income taxes - to the tune of $977,840.81! His lawyer states "it's been paid," however, a release of the federal tax lien has not been recorded as of yet.
How does someone owe almost a million clams in back taxes? That's quite a chunk of change to have to cough up. Hopefully Lil' Wayne can get his money problems solved asap!
