The rapper Lil Wayne has been told he must
pay Quincy Jones III $2,195,000 after he failed to win the lawsuit filed
against him.
According to TMZ, the 'Lollipop'
rapper was unable to attend the court hearing after suffering a series of
seizures last month.
Lavely & Singer, who represented the
star, has asked for unspecified damages and an order prohibiting the producers
from using his music as Wayne claims that he never gave permission for his
music to be used in the documentary Tha Carter.
The rapper has said he didn't authorise any
use of his music but appeared to co-operate with the filming, allowing cameras
to follow him around.
Due to Wayne's absence, his lawyer was left
to air his side to the jury, during which time he refused to answer questions
and mocked the proceedings of the lawsuit, he also said the film was a
"scandalous portrayal" of Lil Wayne's character.
This behaviour did not impress the judge as
he then said it was "unreasonable conduct in the deposition'' and
''irresponsible behaviour.''
The movie includes 'Lollipop', 'Stuntin'
Like My Daddy', 'Let the Beat Build' and 'La La', all of which are included in
Lil Wayne's multi-platinum album Tha Carter III.
The seizures that stopped Lil Wayne
attending court have had a huge affect, resulting in him being unable to fly
for the foreseeable future.
It was reported by TMZ that the
rapper must stay at home and rest, the website read: "The rapper's telling
friends he feels the seizures were a result of working himself too hard after
his jail stint - and has been calling the health scare a 'life-changing event'
and an 'eye-opener."
It was confirmed that the rapper was
suffering from migraines and dehydration and he is now with his mother at her
home in Atlanta where nurses are keeping track of his health.
