Lil Wayne Sued over Unpaid Jewelry Bill

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  72 Comments

Lil Wayne is being sued by a New Orleans jewelry store owner who says the MC skipped out on part of a $170,000 bill. Jack Sutton, owner of Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry, sold Weezy a $138,000 diamond ring and a $32,000 gold and diamond necklace on October 6, 2006. The deal was closed over the phone and the two agreed to a monthly payment plan. Although Sutton received his first payment without any problem, a stop payment was issued on the next $24,000 check that he received, after it had been deposited. Sutton, who recently filed the suit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, told the Miami Herald that he has been doing business with the rapper for over 10 years and has never had a problem with payment before. “He spent a lot of money with me,” he said. “I thought we have a really good relationship. I don’t know what happened, unless it’s a misunderstanding.” Wayne’s entertainment attorney, Ron Sweeney, chalked the whole situation up to confusion. ”This is clearly a misunderstanding,” the attorney said. “If, in fact, the allegations are true, then it will be resolved. My client is very responsible.”

    isn’t it Ironic that a Rapper who’s biggest claim among others is Finacial Success cannot manage to pay jewelers? Lies Only Sound Good To Those Who Don’t Know The Truth, and I do know the difference between Real and Fake.

    Fuckin thief. He still doin monthly payments and installments??? You would think the lil crack head got some $$$. The money will be paid back but this is a real bad look for Cash Money. I don’t get down them anyway. Why do Baby got Jadakiss in his new video? Kiss didn’t even rapp so I was pissed after I watched the entire video and my man didn’t rap. Wasted my time to end up so disappointed.

  • j

    Paper is not that long with payment plans. If your money long pay for it flat out. We don’t lease we buy the whole car like you should._Jay_Z. Condo paid for no car payments._Biggie. If your money right you drop 170,000 off top. fuck coming back twice and shit. JAY_Z

  • PHARO

    We have some complex as black people.

    Buying things we can’t afford just so we can boast about it.

    The sad thing is.

    Show me a $138,000 diamond ring and a $32,000 gold and diamond necklace and i bet you can’t tell the difference between Jewelry worth $10,000.

    It’s not possible for diamonds the size of a ring to amount to that value. The Jeweler must be making about 90% profit.

    Dumb niggaz!

    The jeweler probably had a reason, how will he just go strait to a lawyer if they have been doing business for 10 years?
    Dumb a$$ people. Weezy go donate some of that money to Katrina, or the people who just lost their lives in the Dominican republic over the hurricane this past week.

    Nigga, you did 138,000 singles and guest appearances alone this year. I know you got paid a least a dollar for each one of dem shits. Give that man his money. What’s the misunderstanding? “I got more jewelry than your jeweler”, I guess so when you don’t pay their asses back. Get da fuck outta here! Somebody needs to kick you on yo bitch ass chin

  • Boy Vito!

    dude is always talkin about money and he cant even pay his bills…come on now :/

  • DirtDogggy

    Man I ain’t a big fan chipmunk F breezy, but shit as if he can’t afford this, I beleive it was a mistake or he just said fuck it on the payment, but either way he should have just dropped all cash at the start for a better price or a better idea is to spend money on something worth the fucking money like a damn house or invest in your family or anything really, dumb fucks.

    Plus diamonds are played out anyway. Why ? because they are no longer rare, a dime a dozen theory. Same reason rap is falling of. Why ? because there are 50 million wanna bee’s out there that have the oddassity to spit trash ass garbage and think it’s hot, in 1990-99 when shit was in it’s prime there was only like 10,000 mc’s so shit was rare, origional, and fresh. I still love hip-hop but you have to find the needle in a haystack of shit sandwitches to find anything good.

  • Lance

    Anybody consider the possibility Wayne forgot to pay the bill because of his exstensive schedule? Shit he’s on damn near every music video and doing concerts all over the place.
    Besides, with all the mixtapes he sells I doubt he’s straped for cash.

  • Uncle Fester

    I was gonna say something, but Tre Trilla above really spoke for all of us.

  • og

    i hear you lance, but weezy has a SERIOUS drug problem though…i mean even whitney houston became broke behind her habit–and there’s no rapper dead or alive who has had whitney houston paper…colin farrel makes 20-30 mill a movie and he had to take some small side roles in independant flicks to finance his “recreational” herion habit….the list goes on and on…its VERY possible that weezy is strapped for cash…

    • og

      the problem is not that he missed a payment…its that he issued a STOP PAYMENT ORDER on a check…i don’t know if some of you younger cats have checking accounts yet, but once you tell the bank not to honor a check you wrote, you are telling the person you wrote the check to that you have made a descision to refuse to pay them and have taken action towards refusing to pay them…

      on a side note…are these cats really on here trying to gang bang over the internet??? WOW.
