Lil Wayne’s Witness Backs Up His Innocence In Assault Case
Lil Wayne’s Witness Backs Up His Innocence In Assault Case. The lawsuit stems from a June 2022 incident aboard a private jet where former assistant Andrew Williams alleged that Lil Wayne punched him in the face after he tried to break up a heated argument between the rapper and the pilot. Wayne has consistently maintained his innocence and claimed self-defense, a stance recently supported by the jet pilot’s sworn testimony refuting Williams’ version of the altercation.
Lil Wayne (Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) is facing a major turn in his ongoing legal battle. His case with former personal assistant Andrew Williams is heating up. New court filings reveal that a key witness, the private jet pilot, was present during the alleged incident. And he has given sworn testimony that contradicts Williams’ account of the assault.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit stems from an alleged in-flight altercation on June 10, 2022. According to the original complaint:
-
The Allegation: Andrew Williams sued Lil Wayne in 2022 for battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He claimed the rapper struck him after Williams attempted to intervene in a heated verbal dispute between Wayne and the aircraft’s pilot.
-
Wayne’s Defense: Lil Wayne has consistently denied the allegations, maintaining that he acted in self-defense.
Pilot’s Deposition Impeaches Ex-Assistant’s Claims
According to legal documents obtained from the case. Lil Wayne’s defense team is asking the court to use the private jet pilot’s deposition to dismantle the lawsuit.
Key developments detailed in Complex’s Report on Lil Wayne’s Pilot Deposition include:
-
Timeline Contradictions: The pilot’s under-oath testimony directly “impeached” Williams’ timeline of events and refuted his version of how the confrontation unfolded.
-
Conflicting Medical Records: Follow-up medical records from urgent care visits showed no visible swelling, significant physical injuries, or prescribed medications taken by Williams, contradicting the severity of his claims.
-
Request for Second Deposition: Citing the pilot’s contradictory testimony and medical records, Lil Wayne’s attorneys are requesting court permission to depose Williams a second time to grill him on the discrepancies.
