Lil Wayne and manager are sued by RMF Productions for canceling Rochester concert for the third time.
- Feb 16, 2009
AceShowbiz - RMF Productions, the concert promoter who signed Lil Wayne for Rochester concert, has filed a legal document against the rapper for scrapping the show at the venue for the third time. Beside listing Wayne, Edward Strickland, GM of the company, also names the rapper's manager Cortez Bryant in the lawsuit.
Strickland says that he has advanced Wayne 100,000 dollars but in return, got nothing from the rapper, who won Best Rap Album for his studio album "Tha Carter III" at 2009 Grammy Awards. In the legal document, the concert promoter is mentioned to seek 1.3 million dollars in compensation over the cancellation.
Lil Wayne was supposed to perform at Blue Cross Arena on October 26, 2008 but dropped the gig, citing an inferior sound system as the cause. He then re-scheduled the show for December 6, 2008, but "due to mandatory tour rehearsal for his upcoming 'I Am Music' tour", he had to postpone it until January 21. However, he once again pulled off the concert, blaming "logistics of his band" as the reason. This time he left his fans with no makeup date.
