LIL' WAYNE SUED OVER OUTSTANDING CAR MODIFICATION BILLS

Rapper LIL' WAYNE is facing legal action from a California car customiser over $80,000 (GBP40,000) in unpaid bills for work carried out on the star's Bentley in 2005. The Go DJ lyricist - real name Dwayne Carter - is being sued for breach of contract by LeMarck deAndre, after the hip-hop star allegedly reneged on a deal to cover costs of modifying his 1999 Bentley Arnage. In the lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of California last month (Dec07), deAndre claims he initially received a payment of $78,507 (GBP39,253) from Carter in August 2006 - 10 months after the invoice was originally due. But as the late payment breached their initial customisation contract, deAndre cancelled the job completely and demanded extra cash to cover the costs of parts already ordered and the cost of shipping the expensive vehicle back to Carter's New Orleans, Louisiana, home. Carter agreed to the deal, totalling $79,200 (GBP39,600), but has since failed to honour his word, according to the suit. Businessman deAndre is seeking the $79,200 in damages, in addition to $200 (GBP100) for each day since 1 November (07), and legal costs.
