Lil Wayne to Get Sued by Bouncer He Allegedly Punched at BET Awards After-Party

The nightclub bouncer that Lil Wayne reportedly punched last month after attending the BET Awards is preparing a lawsuit against the rapper.

According to reports, the unnamed bouncer, who works at the Hyde nightclub, has already hired a lawyer to handle the case.

The incident occurred on the evening of June 27 when Lil Wayne hosted a BET Awards after-party with 2 Chainz at the nightclub in Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California, according to TMZ. However, when several members of the "Lollipop" rapper's entourage arrived at the venue, they were turned away by the bouncer.

That's when Lil Wayne got into an argument with the staffer, which then led to the former punching the latter in the face. The rapper's bodyguards also reportedly got involved in the scuffle and shoved the bouncer against a wall.

Although Lil Wayne has already admitted that an altercation took place at the nightclub, he maintained that he never punched the bouncer.

The Hyde employee, on the other hand, wants to take legal action against the artist due to the injuries he suffered from the incident, which include a dislocated jaw. He has already enlisted the help of Arsineh Aghakhani, a lawyer from Los Angeles, to prepare the lawsuit against Lil Wayne.

The rapper, however, has not yet issued a new statement regarding the possibility of a lawsuit.

Weeks after the incident at Hyde, Lil Wayne caught the attention of the public after it was reported that he had suffered a seizure while in Las Vegas, according to Billboard. Although initial reports indicated that the incident was so serious that the rapper had to cancel his performance for the UFC 200 pre-party, Lil Wayne clarified that the health scare was a false alarm.
