Lil Wayne Sued

Here we are yet again with the entertainers getting sued! Geesh dude... when will it end? Lawyers for N.O. rapper Lil Wayne are seeking more time to turn over documents in response to a suit filed against Cash Money records and Wayne, accusing them of copyright infringement.

A federal lawsuit filed in May claims Lil Wayne didn’t have permission to sample a song by singer Karma-Ann Swanepoel. The suit says Lil Wayne’s record label, Cash Money Records, tried but failed to negotiate a license to use Swanepoel’s song “Once” before millions of people downloaded the rapper’s song “I Feel Like Dying.”

A court filing Tuesday by Lil Wayne’s attorneys asks a judge in New Orleans to extend a Friday deadline for turning over documents requested by lawyers for the company that published Swanepoel’s song.
