Banner claims he signed a contract with the Lollipop hitmaker's label Young Money Records to produce the tracks La La and P**sy Monster for Wayne's 2008 album Tha Carter III, as well as the song Streets Is Watchin, which appeared on a Young Money compilation album in 2009.

He claims he has not been paid royalties for the tracks, and accuses record label bosses of cutting communications with him.

According to TMZ.com, Banner estimates his royalties bill totals in excess of $154,500 (£96,500).

Lil Wayne is also embroiled in another legal battle with Cash Money Records boss Bryan 'Birdman' Williams over his long-delayed album Tha Carter V.
