Lil’ Wayne recently lost a civil lawsuit concerning a documentary film based on his life. The film gives the audience a glimpse inside the public and personal life of the controversial rapper. There are scenes of the rapper reliving his first sexual experience as well scenes portraying his personal drug use. The film was reviewed by Wayne’s camp, and the rapper's manager made a request for the "defamatory" scenes to be removed from the film. When the film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, the scenes were still there, and shown to the audience!

Wayne and his manager filed for a request for a preliminary injunction with the Los Angeles Superior Court, but the motion was denied. Had it been granted, it would have kept QD2 (The production company) from distributing the project.

QD2 stands by their statement that they have made a truly remarkable film that showcases the extraordinary talent of Lil’ Wayne.

The documentary is scheduled to be released this year. My only question is…
If you didn’t want this in the film, why would you have talked openly about it to reporters and an entire film crew? I guess bad publicity is still publicity, right? Just sayin'…

Go here to check out the trailer for the documentary.
