Lil Wayne‘s former bodyguard has filed a lawsuit against the rapper, claiming that the ex-Hot Boy threatened to shoot him during an altercation that happened in 2021.
Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal that Carlos Christian filed the suit on Friday (December 1). In it, he claimed that Weezy threatened to shoot him with a semiautomatic rifle.

Christian claimed that he took the alleged threat seriously, as Lil Wayne had been convicted of weapons possession charges before.
It’s unclear how much Christian is asking for in damages.

Back in December 2021, Christian told police that he and the superstar got into a fight at Wayne’s Hidden Hills mansion in California. Christian claimed the altercation started when Wayne accused him of taking photos and leaking them to the media.
According to Christian, Lil Wayne began assaulting him and waving an assault rifle after the bodyguard went to the bathroom instead of leaving immediately. Christian then left the property and went to the guard shack to call the police. By the time they arrived, Wayne had already left.
A source close to Wayne denied the incident happened and said he doesn’t even own a gun. Law enforcement sources said they have issues with the story due to the guard having no marks or injuries on his body from the alleged physical altercation.
Despite reporting the incident to the police, Christian didn’t want to press charges.

Lil Wayne was previously facing up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to a federal weapons charge but was pardoned by outgoing president Donald Trump in January.
Authorities received an anonymous tip that Wayne was allegedly transporting drugs on his private jet in December 2019. Police searched his plane at Miami-Opa loca Executive Airport, and found a gold-plated Remington 1911 .45-caliber handgun loaded with six rounds of ammunition and a bag containing small amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone.
