Alvin Lewis, Lil Wayne's former tour bus driver at the time of the now-infamous 2015 shooting, was suing Birdman and Cash Money Records. In the lawsuit, Lewis alleged assault and battery, breach of contract, and intentional infliction of distress. According to TMZ, a judge delivered a major ruling on Tuesday, and it's not what Lewis was hoping for.
The lawsuit named Birdman and Cash Money Records specifically. It's a lawsuit that was filed 10 years ago, and the legal battle is still being fought. That said, the judge has decided to dismiss Birdman and Cash Money Records from the suit. The judge claims Birdman was not in the same state as the shooting, and therefore, there is not enough evidence to make a connection.
In this ruling, the judge also cited the fact that Lewis was never hit by a bullet or the shrapnel. However, Lewis maintains he suffered emotional distress and a loss of income.
Birdman's Latest Legal Victory
Other people implicated in the lawsuit are Young Thug as well as Jimmy "PeeWee Roscoe" Winfrey, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years' probation for the shooting.
It is a shooting that occurred on April 26, 2015. Two tour buses were shot at numerous times on Interstate 285 near Atlanta. The shooting occurred not long after Lil Wayne's performance at the Compound Nightclub. No one was injured in the shooting, although it was still a major story given the famous people involved and implicated.
Lewis' lawsuit still persists despite the ruling. However, he should not expect any settlements from the likes of Birdman and his iconic Cash Money Records.
