Lil Wayne runs into More Problems

Already behind bars for a year, Lil Wayne has run into more problems since being behind bars. For years, Wayne was considered a good Southern rapper. Most people always credited Wayne as a decent rapper and being one hit away.

Seemingly at the peak of his career, Lil Wayne took a break from creating studio albums. Doing the unthinkable, he began rapping on the mixtape scene. Here, he built respect and became known as one of the best rappers in the game.

Once he built his reputation, Wayne sought to prove that he could make hit records. In 2008, he released his chart-topping hit, "Lollipop." The song dominated the summer of 2008 and made Jim Jonsin into a household name. Recently, it was revealed that he and Wayne are feuding.

Their feud stems from the "Lollipop" single and Wayne's latest lawsuit does, too. A rapper from Philadelphia has accused Lil Wayne of getting the idea of "Lollipop" from his 2007 single, "Grindin Like A Goon." He said that in 2007 he sent copies of the song to multiple artists, including Lil Wayne. The man is seeking an injunction to prevent further sales of Tha Carter III. He hopes to stop the sales of the music until he can figure out just how much they owe him.

Lil Wayne already has to come off of $500,000 in unpaid royalties to Jim Jonsin over the song. In addition to the problems with Jim Jonsin and "Lollipop," Play-N-Skillz are said to be upset over unpaid royalties from the other Wayne hit off of Tha Carter III, "Got Money" featuring T-Pain.
