AceShowbiz - Lil Wayne has secured a $29,225 judgment following the dismissal of a lawsuit accusing him of assaulting a security guard. The legal decision came after a California court ruled against the plaintiff for failing to comply with multiple discovery orders.

On June 10, 2026, a judge in California ordered plaintiff Christian Carlos and his attorney to pay the specified amount along with Lil Wayne's legal fees. This ruling came after months of noncompliance, including missed deadlines and misleading statements regarding discovery responses, which ultimately led the court to terminate the case ahead of its scheduled August trial, according to Rolling Stone.

The lawsuit, originally filed in December 2023, alleged that Lil Wayne assaulted Carlos at his Hidden Hills, California residence in 2021. Carlos claimed that the rapper punched him in the ear and threatened him with a firearm during the incident. The complaint also stated that Carlos suffered severe emotional distress and required treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result.

Sources cited by TMZ suggested the altercation arose after Lil Wayne confronted the security guard about taking and potentially leaking photos to the media. However, Lil Wayne's representatives have denied that the incident occurred.

XXL has reached out to Lil Wayne's team seeking comment on the matter but has not yet received a response. Meanwhile, Lil Wayne is preparing for the North American leg of his 20 Years of Carter Classics Tour, which is set to begin later this month.

This case adds to a list of high-profile legal battles involving hip-hop artists that ended in their favor, reflecting a trend of artists successfully defending against significant lawsuits. Fans and industry watchers will be following Lil Wayne's upcoming tour and any further developments related to this legal victory.
