Lil Wayne Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Assault and Gun Threat by Former Bodyguard

Lil Wayne is being sued by his former bodyguard, Carlos Christian, who alleges that the rapper punched him and threatened him with a gun during an altercation in December 2021. Christian claims that Wayne brandished a semiautomatic rifle and threatened to shoot him at Wayne's Hidden Hills, CA home. The bodyguard called the police at the time, but sources close to Wayne denied the incident and claimed he didn't own a gun. Christian is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Wayne, who has a prior felony gun conviction, was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2021 for gun charges.
