Lil Wayne’s ex-lawyer thinks there’s no beef.
Ronald Sweeney served as Lil Wayne’s lawyer for over 10 years, until he was dismissed for reportedly being too greedy. The issues began with Sweeney’s 10 percent cut, which sits higher than the industry standard of 5 percent. Moreover, Sweeney is believed to have attempted to acquire an additional 10 percent, but the Young Money head honcho shut it down. This is also considering the former attorney was not involved in any of the lawsuits against Birdman, where Lil Wayne truly needed legal help, thus adding insult to injury.
The documents obtained by The Blast also reveal Sweeney alleges to have made himself available to Weezy 24/7 and to have racked up a total of $20 million dollars in deals during their 13-year affiliation. Decisively, the fired attorney wants the lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that he rightfully earned every penny.
