Lil Wayne's Former Manager Says Video Proves Rapper Lied Under Oath

Lil Wayne has been hit with a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed by a former manager that claims she was cheated out of her share of the rapper's estimated $200 million dollars in earnings. 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lil Wayne's former manager Melissa Philipian and White Tides Entertainment Group were fired by Lil Wayne in 2005, because the rapper was unhappy with the quality of hotel rooms that were being booked for him. 

In April of 2006, Philipian sued Lil Wayne, claiming she was owed $500,000 in commissions in addition to 15 percent of his total earnings. 

Philipian claims Lil Wayne signed a three-year agreement in 2005 and that her company booked at least 21 shows for the rapper. 

Lil Wayne claimed he never signed an agreement with Philipian or White Tides and that Philipian allegedly forged his signature. 

The case was eventually settled out of court, but a YouTube video that recently surfaced has resulted in a new lawsuit. 

In the new lawsuit, which was filed in Florida District Court, Lil Wayne, Cash Money and Universal Music Group are accused of fraud, defamation, breach of contract and other allegations. 

Philipian claims the recently-surfaced video shows that Lil Wayne lied under oath, about his involvement with Philipian and White Tides. 

Additionally, Lil Wayne allegedly blacklisted Philipian by claiming she stole money. 

Philipian claims that she used to manage Tyga, who was advanced $7,000, but the artist refused to work with Philipian any further, after Lil Wayne refused to work with any artist associated with the woman.

Kelly Rowland Recalls Wrecking Cars On 'When I Was 17'

 

Kelly Rowland

As part of the "Bootylicious" chart-topping girl group Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland was a key member of a bona fide hit factory. But before she was cranking out global R&B and pop smashes, Rowland remembers smashing up cars as a teenager.

The singer reminisces about her bumpy ride toward learning how to drive on the latest episode of MTV's "When I Was 17." "I was a really, really bad driver," the singer admits. "As a matter of fact, I wrecked about three cars before I finally got the whole driving thing down."

Rowland, who has steered her solo career toward success by bringing her pipes to the house-music scene and teaming up with French producer David Guetta on the international 2009 hit "When Love Takes Over," has presumably mastered the art of driving since her teenage years. However, the memories of Rowland's automotive antics still haunt the singer's nearest and dearest. On Saturday's episode — which also features teenage tales from Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias and Stephanie Pratt from MTV's "The Hills" — Rowland's friends remember the R&B diva's less than smooth moves behind the wheel.

"Terrible, terrible," is how Rowland's homegirl Angie describes the singer's driving skills. "Did I say terrible? Terrible driver."

Former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett shudders when she thinks back to Rowland's early days in the driver's seat. "Tales of Kelly behind the wheel — Lord help us all," the "Torn" songstress chuckles.

"When I Was 17" — this week featuring Rowland, Enrique Iglesias and Stephanie Pratt — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
