Lil’ Wayne Sued Over Jewelry Bill
\nSan Francisco Chronicle, USA<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rapper Lil’ Wayne has been accused of failing to pay a $146,000 jewelry bill.<\/p>\n
The star — real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. — is being sued by Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry, who allege he failed to pay for a diamond ring and necklace he purchased earlier this month.<\/p>\n
The shop filed a lawsuit at Miami-Dade Circuit Court in Florida claiming Carter agreed to pay the bill in monthly installments — but after they received the first check for $24,000 on Oct. 12 and a second dated January 2008, the payments were stopped.<\/p>\n
Proprietor Jack Sutton says, “I’ve been doing business with him for at least 10 years. He’s always been wonderful with paying me. He spent a lot of money with me. I thought we have a really good relationship. I don’t know what happened.”<\/p>\n
Carter’s attorney Ron Sweeney branded the incident a “misunderstanding.”<\/p>\n
He says, “If, in fact, the allegations are true, then it will be resolved. My client is very responsible.”<\/p>\n
The jewelry case is the latest in a series of legal trials for Carter — he is currently fighting drug charges in Atlanta, Ga., gun possession charges in New York and two civil suits in Baltimore, Md., after several women suffered injuries during his homecoming concert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
