Following an Atlanta performance in April 2015, Lil Wayne’s tour bus was shot up. Birdman and Young Thug were then accused of trying to kill Wayne. Jimmy Carlton Winfrey—better known as Peewee Roscoe, was sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to pulling the trigger. Wayne’s driver is now planning to sue Birdman and Young Thug, the people he thinks are behind it.
Alvin Lewis is suing Winfrey, Young Thug, and Birdman, as well as Cash Money Records and Young Money Records for the mental issues he has suffered since the shooting. He states he called both Birdman and Thug after the incident took place but neither of the rappers “repudiated Winfrey’s heinous acts.”
“Defendants placed plaintiff in immediate fear of death and severe bodily harm by attacking and attempting to kill him without any just provocation or cause,”
Birdman says he had nothing to do with the whole thing. Winfrey wants $20,000 in bus damages. He says since then he “suffered and continues to suffer substantial and continuing pain […] suffering, discomfort, medical expenses, lost personal and professional property, and lost wages.” There is also some financial damages that he wants tossed in too.
This Wayne and Birdman situation just gets messier by the day.
