This is an odd story.

Lil’ Wayne is being accused of punching a security guard. An incident in which he is claiming it is hate crime because he was white.

According to TMZ:

A California man claims he was working the front door at Hyde nightclub on the Sunset Strip in June 2016 when Weezy and his crew showed up for a BET Music Awards after-party … and started acting belligerent.

According to the docs … the guard felt physically threatened but was trying to do his job controlling entry into the club when the rapper punched him with a closed fist and knocked him to the ground

The man claims Lil Wayne then threw a glass filled with alcohol in his face and yelled, “F*** you white boy!” … which he claims makes it a hate crime.

Wayne’s camp has denied the rapper punched the guy.

The guard is suing Weezy, Young Money, and the club for $25,000 for what he claims is a hate crime.

People will try to sue and get money for anything these days huh?
