Lil Wayne Sued For Over 500k Over, “Lollipop,” Royalties

Postby lil_bayly » Apr 23rd, '10, 14:51

Rapper Lil Wayne was hit with a $500,000-plus suit yesterday by the producer of his Grammy-winning song “Lollipop.” Jim Jonsin claims the rap star — who’s serving a year behind bars for gun possession — hasn’t coughed up royalties for Jonsin’s work on the hit single.
via NY Post

The album went over 3 times platinum and this guy still hasn’t been paid, OUCH.
