Young Money Is Being Sued Over Lil Wayne’s Unpaid Sports Tickets

When you hear Lil Wayne is wading through financial woes, you think of his ongoing dispute with his longtime friend, mentor and label boss, Bryan "Baby" Williams. After all, Tha Carter V and Wayne's status on Cash Money Records has been a point of contention since last year--it's been so contentious, in fact, that PeeWee Roscoe, who has been charged with shooting up Wayne's tour bus in April, claims that the war between the former partners was the root cause. But the New Orleans rapper is actually dealing with something more pedestrian, even if the dollar figure involved is anything but. According to TMZ, Tickets of America and White Glove International are suing Young Money Records and Cortez Bryant, Wayne's imprint and manager, respectively, for almost $120,000 in unpaid tickets to sporting and entertainment events. (Wayne himself is not named as a defendant.) The costs are enumerated as follows:

$4,000 for tickets to the MTV Video Music Awards
$11,000 for tickets to a game between the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat
$11,100 to see the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Houston Rockets
$11,300 for the Los Angeles Clippers against the Rockets (take that, Buses)
$14,000 to go to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans
$67,500 to see Floyd Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao
$500 to attend the NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four

Aside from what that says about how little we value our female athletes, it's plenty of money for an artist who is allegedly being denied royalties. The tickets listed in the suit were all given to Wayne between February 2013 and June of this year.
