AceShowbiz - Lil Wayne made quite a scene when he visited Hyde nightclub in June 2016. The club's security guard has now filed a lawsuit against him after claiming that the "GO D.J." hitmaker violently punched him in the face. The guard believed that Wayne's action was racially motivated.
According to TMZ, Wayne and his crew showed up at the nightclub for BET Music Awards after-party. The security guard was said to be trying to control the situation when the "Got Money" rapper suddenly punched him and knocked him to the ground. Wayne then reportedly threw a glass filled with alcohol in his face and yelled, "F**k you, white boy!"
He's now suing Wayne, his label and the club for damages of assault and battery and also demands $25,000 for damages of hate crime. Wayne's rep has denied the allegations and said that the rapper never punched the security guy.
This wasn't the first time Wayne was accused of breaking the law. Back in April, he and Chris Brown became targets of a federal drug investigation. They were believed to have bought "a lot of narcotics" from music producer Harrison Garcia, who was on trial for federal drug charges.
