Lil Wayne Faces New Lawsuit In Bentley Row
The Lollipop hitmaker - real name Dwayne Carter Jr. - is already being sued for breach of contract by California car customiser LeMarck deAndre, after allegedly reneging on a deal to cover costs totalling $80,000 (GBP40,000) for modifying his 1999 Bentley Arnage.
In the original lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of California in December (07), deAndre claimed he initially received a payment of $78,507 (GBP39,253) from Carter in August 2006 - 10 months after the invoice was originally due.
The late payment broke their agreement and deAndre cancelled the job altogether.
But deAndre has now filed another suit against Lil Wayne for a further $123,800 (GBP61,900) in damages.
And he blames the rapper's "financial illiteracy" for the blunder.
He says, "My direct observation and experience with Dwayne M. Carter's financial and personal irresponsibility over the years has taught and demonstrated to me that he has become the 'new symbol of financial illiteracy and slavery in/of the 21st century' and this is unequivocally not fiction nor is it a misunderstanding.
"For a little over five years, I have been involved with the consistent and perpetual business behavioural illustrations of Dwayne M. Carter's high-level of financial illiteracy, lack of liquidity, leveraged acquisition liability accumulation and below zero net-worth; as well as lack of business communication, character, and integrity - all learned behaviours - and the primary reasons for non-payment."

Shakira shakes it at charity event (+pics)
A lineup of Latin mega-stars including Shakira, Ricky Martin and Alejandro Sanz performed simultaneously on stages in Buenos Aires and Mexico City over the weekend, raising awareness for the needs of poor children in Latin America.
Outspoken Colombian rocker Juanes, one of the most anticipated performers at Saturday's event, was absent due to problems with his plane.
Organised by the Fundacion Alas (Latin America in Solidarity Action), the concerts, which have been widely referred to as the Latin American version of 2005's Live 8 anti-poverty concerts, brought together more than 380,000 people in the Mexican capital's Zocalo plaza and the riverside Costanera Sur in Buenos Aires.
Mexican magnate Carlos Slim and Howard Buffett, son of billionaire Warren Buffett, donated $200 million to combat poverty in Latin America.
In Buenos Aires, the eight-hour show took off with a performance by Mexican bombshell Paulina Rubio. At dusk, as the moon rose over the River Plate, Uruguayan singer/songwriter Jorge Drexler performed his Oscar-winning song Al Otro Lado del Rio, from The Motorcycle Diaries.
Rockers Fito Paez and former Soda Stereo frontman Gustavo Cerati came out for the most magical moment of the night, together singing Cerati's hit Crimen and Paez's anthem Ciudad de Pobres Corazones.
At the end of the show, Alas founder Shakira took the stage with Sanz for their chart-topping duet La Tortura.
Shakira also perfumed with Mercedes Sosa, the popular Argentine who is an emblematic figure of Latin American social commitment.
Shakira closed the concert with Cerati, singing Soda Stereo's spine-tingling homage to Buenos Aires, En la Ciudad de la Furia.
In Mexico City, David Bisbal started a marathon show for the thousands in the city's historical center who were undeterred by day-long rain. Hosted by Miguel Bose, co-founder of Alas, the concert featured, among others, Mexican popular heroes Tigres del Norte, Timbariche, Ricardo Montaner, Babasonicos, Chayanne, Emmanuel and Aleks Syntek.
Martin surprised the audience by singing his crossover hit Livin' la Vida Loca in English, ostensibly to take awareness of the concert beyond Spanish-speaking borders.
Mexico's classic rockers Mana performed their recent hit Labios Compartidos, followed by the evocative Donde Jugaran los Ninos (Where will the Children Play).
"It's time that the politicians stop losing time arguing about unimportant issues and that they focus on the children," Mana singer Fher Olvera told the crowd.
"Our attitude is going to force them to do it."
However, other than some artists' declarations and short messages shown on the screens during the show (32 million children in the region live on less than a dollar a day, according to the foundation), there was little information available to demonstrate how Alas and its artist members were working directly to improve the quality of life for Latin American youth.
But the excitement in Mexico continued with the appearance of Juan Luis Guerra, who appropriately for the day, performed Ojala que Llueva Cafe.
Just after midnight, Bose sang a duet with Ana Torroja of Mecano fame.
His set was followed by a spectacular finale with the participants reuniting on the Mexico City stage to sing the chorus to his hit Te Amare.
