This past Friday (June 12), California Superior Court Judge Michael Mink denied a motion made on behalf of Lil Wayne to prevent Digerati (QD3 Entertainment) from releasing a documentary titled The Carter in its entirety. The documentary is said to contain �private and sensitive� material that is believed to be damaging perhaps to a pending legal investigation. The court denied the motion citing the evidence presented by Wayne�s attorney was not strong enough.
According to AllHipH0p.com the whole dispute centers around �Lil Wayne�s reputation and the value of his identity can be diminished by an unauthorized use of his image and persona, or by association with a movie or purported �authorized� documentary that, in reality, does not meet with his approval and depicts him in a negative light and/or engaged in criminal conduct.�
Wayne has been trying to stop the release of the project for quite some time and previously filed an unsuccessful injunction to halt distribution. Despite a lawsuit aimed at cutting certain scenes deemed a �scandalous portrayal� of the rapper without his approval, the film was later screened at the Sundance Film Festival to critic acclaim.
Lil Wayne�s camp is claiming that Digerati is in violation of breach of contract, fraud and invasion of privacy claiming the The Carter�s producer, Quincy Jones III refused to give Lil Wayne the agreed upon approval of the final cut of the feature. source
