Celebrity Justice
Burn Me 3 Times Lil' Wayne, I'll Sue You

Posted Feb 16th 2009 12:01AM by TMZ Staff

Lil' WanyneThere are now 1.3 million reasons why Lil' Wayne shouldn't have ducked out of his scheduled concerts in Rochester, NY.

The promoter who was left holding the bag 3 times over the last 4 months filed suit against the rapper Friday in NYC.

Edward Strickland, GM of RMF Productions, is suing Wayne, his manager and others for $1.3 mil. Strickland says he advanced Lil' $100K back in October and got nothin'.

Strickland claims the last he heard from Wayne was via email canceling the third concert... which Lil' said was due to "logistics of his band." Translation: Lil' blew him off.

Calls to Wayne have not been returned.

20. I used to really LOVE Lil Wyane. I bought the ticket to his first show and then he didn't show. I kept my ticket so that I could see him and Luda- I was like hell yeah!! Then he didn't show again. I heard he said something about the sound. But Luda went on and ripped it so did some other folks. The sound was fine as far as i could tell. Anyway, I waited again for him to show but.... I still love Weezy but I wouldn't trust him if he said he was coming back. The tickets cost too much money for him not to show. I think he's gettin to big for his fans...

26. Perhaps Lil' Wayne had to cancel because his perfect ptich vocal harmonizer machine caught a cold?

We all know this worthless uglier than mud on a brush fence marble mouth CAN NOT SING? CAN NOT RAP? He's purely a "studio" musician!! Without all the machines his vocals go through he'd probably sound like Barney the purple dinosour! Then again,.. there are soooo many of them these days!
