The verdict is in on Tunechi vs. QDIII

To recap: back in September, Lil Wayne launched a lawsuit against film producer Quincy Jones III (son of the super-producer of the same name). The suit related to Jones’ 2009 highly entertaining Weezy documentary The Carter, which followed the rapper in the period 2007-8.

Somewhat oddly, Wayne claimed that the film used his songs without his express permission, and attacked the documentary makers’ “scandalous portrayal” of his character. Wayne lost the case, and was subsequently countersued by Jones et al.

Exclaim report that Wayne has now been ordered to pay out $2,195,000 to Jones. The cost is described as covering the financial damage sustained by Jones as a result of Wayne nixing the film’s original release. Wayne wasn’t present to hear the verdict announced – following those alleged seizures, he is reportedly still convalescing.

You’ll remember that Lil Wayne’s cussed deposition during the case went viral. Of course, it would be churlish to post the video again considering…sod it, here it is in all its madcap glory.
