Lil Wayne Sued For $1 Million In Airplane Rental Fees

"We gone pay some people off, we gone figure it out."

Drake rapped about it on "Who Do You Love," and it's all coming to pass.

According to XXL, Lil Wayne is being sued by the Signature Group for not paying back the rental fees for his airplanes.

The Courthouse News Service reports the Signature Group sued Wayne and Young Money on Thursday (July 31) in Miami-Dade County Court.

An excerpt from the 14-page lawsuit says Wayne racked up a hefty bill "jet-setting around the globe on private aircraft." He has yet to pay off his debt.

"As with many such artists, Mr. Carter appears to enjoy the finer things in life: expensive cars, a mansion in La Gorce Country Club on Miami Beach, and private aircraft travel for himself, his agents, and members of his entourage, to worldwide destinations of his choice. Naturally, the enjoyment of such luxuries is not free, and Mr. Carter and his putative Florida limited liability, defendant Young Money, have failed to live up to their obligations and now owe plaintiff, Signature Group, over one million dollars in fees and charges relating to Mr. Carter's jet-setting around the globe on private aircraft leased to him by plaintiff. The nature of this dispute is straightforward and there are dozens of written communication from Mr. Carter's agents, not only attesting to the existence of this debt, but also promising payment if plaintiff foregoes taking action against defendants. Simply put, Mr. Carter can choose to use the proceeds that he earns to live the life of a hip-hop star -- but he has to pay his bills just like the rest of us."

The Signature Group is seeking money owed and damages for breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
