Lil Wayne has lost a lawsuit against Quincy Jones III
As Wayne didn't appear in court, his lawyer had to air his deposition to the jury, in which he refused to answer questions and mocked the proceeding, as well as saying the film was a "scandalous portrayal" of his character.
The judge was not impressed with this, saying it was "unreasonable conduct in the deposition" and "irresponsible behaviour."
Songs used in the movie include hits such as 'Lollipop', 'Stuntin' Like My Daddy', 'Pussy Monster', 'Let the Beat Build', 'La La', 'Mr. Carter', 'A Milli', and 'Dontgetit' from his multi-platinum selling album, 'Tha Carter III'.
While Wayne claimed he didn't authorise the use of his music, it seems he co-operated with the filming of the documentary, by allowing cameras to follow him around.
In his lawsuit, filed by the firm of Lavely & Singer on behalf of the star, Wayne had asked for unspecified damages and an order prohibiting the producers from using his music.
