LIL WAYNE DOCUMENTARY TO BE RELEASED

Tweet

Lil Wayne has lost his bid to have a documentary about him banned - the film has been granted an official release.

The Lollipop hitmaker, real name Dwayne Carter Jr., filed a lawsuit for fraud and breach of contract against film executives at Quincy Jones III's QD3 Entertainment in April (09), alleging they reneged on a deal to give the star final approval of the movie, titled The Carter, before its release.

Carter's representatives denounced the project as a "scandalous portrayal" of the MC and claimed it could ruin his reputation because it depicts him in a "negative light".

But the star's attempt to block the film's release failed - the judge overseeing the case ruled evidence used by Carter's attorney was not strong enough to justify the rapper's claims.

And now Carter faces a further blow - the 90-minute documentary is to be released on DVD on 17 November (09).
