Lil Wayne Calls Cap On Former Bodyguard’s Assault Allegations

In December of last year, Lil Wayne was hit with a lawsuit by his former bodyguard, Carlos Christian. Christian accuses Weezy of threatening him with a gun during a dispute at the rapper’s California home and punching him in the head. Reportedly, sources close to Lil Wayne told authorities that the incident never happened when they arrived on the scene. Apparently, they also said he didn’t even own a gun. It remains unclear what the alleged dispute was about, but Christian alleges that the artist “acted with malice” and “a willful and conscious disregard” for his safety.

At the time, it was also reported that Christian claimed to have incurred medical expenses, lost wages, and suffered emotional distress. He was seeking compensatory and punitive damages over the alleged incident. Now, according to legal documents obtained by In Touch Weekly, the performer has asked an LA county court to dismiss the lawsuit. He insists he only acted in self-defense during the debacle. His attorney claims Christian didn’t actually suffer any injuries as a result of their spat either.

He also adds that Christian “failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence to mitigate his alleged damages.” The judge hasn’t ruled on Lil Wayne’s motion yet, so it remains to be seen what’ll end up playing out. What do you think of Lil Wayne trying to get the lawsuit filed against him by his ex-bodyguard dismissed?
