Lil Wayne sued over 'skateboard attack' by entourage

Lil Wayne is reportedly being sued in relation to an alleged assault last year.

The supposed victim, Alfredo Marino, claims that he was hit over the head with a skateboard by one of the rapper's crew in May.

The fan is said to have attempted to take a photograph of the star, before getting involved in an argument with him and his entourage.

The lawsuit has been filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court by attorney Craig Chisvin on behalf of Marino, reports TMZ.

Marino claims that he suffered a "severe injury" to his head and holds Lil Wayne and his record label Cash Money responsible for "enabling the attacker".

At the time, Marino's lawyer told TMZ: "My client will enforce all of his rights under the law and all individuals responsible for this outrageous incident will be blamed for the damages that my client has suffered and continues to suffer."

Last year, Lil Wayne said that he aims to retire after releasing two more studio albums.
