As of late, Lil Wayneconcerts haven't led to good news. This trend continues as TMZ reports that the rapper has been ordered to pay over $100,000 for allegedly orchestrating a fake concert that was promoted under his name.
According to court documents obtained by the site, Weezy was being sued by Ramin Natan for breach of contract and fraud. The judge ruled in favor of Natan in a default settlement because Wayne didn't tend to the lawsuit. Now the rapper has to pay Natan $150,000 in damages.
Natan first filed the lawsuit in January. According to Natan and his lawyers, Lil Wayne and the Migos are "Ponzi scheme artists" that book shows but never truly intended on performing. Natan says that he gave Eric Stenger $500,000 to promote a Lil Wayne concert. Yet, Stenger was never a concert promoter. Natan feels like Stenger knew Wayne and gave the rapper the $500,000 to perform but he never showed up to the show.
Lil Wayne was served with the lawsuit papers and didn't bother responding to Natan's claims. As a result, the judge ruled in the plaintiff's favor. Normally, the judge will give the defendant another chance to respond to being served before the verdict is finalized.
It's unclear if Wayne will move forward with the process or just shell out the $150,000.
