Young Thug and YSL have caught a huge break in the Lil Wayne tour bus shooting lawsuit. According to Billboard, Judge Eric A. Brewton has removed the rapper from the suit, citing “no evidence of an employment relationship” between Thug and the shooter, PeeWee Roscoe.
Alvin Lewis, Lil Wayne's tour bus driver, filed his lawsuit 10 years ago. Birdman and Cash Money Records were also named in the suit. However, they were removed by the Judge as well. Lewis alleges PeeWee Roscoe acted on behalf of Young Thug. Unfortunately, for Lewis, the court could not find sufficient evidence that this was the case.
Lewis' attorney, Jeff Gewirtz, has made it clear that the former tour bus driver is looking to challenge the decision. The man maintains he has suffered emotional distress and lost wages as a result of the shooting.

The tour bus shooting took place on April 26, 2015, in Atlanta, Georgia, on Interstate 285. This was following Lil Wayne's performance at the Compound nightclub. No one was injured in the shooting, although Lewis is adamant that the emotional toll was immense.
YSL Duke and PeeWee Roscoe remain on the lawsuit. At this time, a settlement has not been reached. However, there is a hearing in February of next year to decide when the trial will finally occur.
Young Thug and Birdman have yet to comment on their dismissal from the case.
