Lil Wayne’s manager is countering a Bahamian promoter’s claim that the rapper missed 2008 concert because he was “unconscious” at the time of the scheduled performance. On Thursday (July 9) TMZ.com reported that Red City Ent. had filed a lawsuit against the multi-platinum artist in regards to a missed appearance on Sept. 27 of last year.

The promoters claim that when Wayne was a no-show at the venue, police officers discovered him unconscious in his hotel room. Red City’s suit seeks a total of $432,000, with $210,000 of the amount representing Wayne’s advance.

Wayne’s manager, Cortez Bryant, offers a much different account of the events. “Our show was set for September 26th last year,”

Bryant told. “We arrived on time, ready to perform.” Bryant claimed promoters didn‘t have the rest of Wayne‘s deposit, forcing the show to be canceled. According to Bryant, Wayne agreed to reschedule the concert despite on his birthday (Sept. 17).

“I presented their case to Wayne and he said he would do it if the promoters had everything right, based on our contract …. when I arrived at the venue, the security was horrible, causing it to be an unsafe environment and the sound system wasn’t up to our contracted standard.”
