Lil Wayne's Handwritten Lyric Notebook Could Be Yours for $5 Million USD
The item was previously embroiled in a five-year legal battle.
An old lyric notebook that belonged to a young Lil Wayne is up for auction for $5 million USD.
The item is up for bids over at Moments in Time and was used by a 17-year-old Weezy in the ’90s. Lyrics to tracks such as “Grown Man,” which appeared on Tha Carter II, as well as the Hot Boys’ “We on Fire” and a doodle were some of the things scribbled on the notebook.
Its $5 million USD auction price holds history, however. The notebook was uncovered by an unnamed man in a car that was previously owned by an associate of Wayne’s Cash Money Records. He kept the notebook for safekeeping until 2019 when it was first put up for auction for $250,000 USD. Tunechi himself attempted to legally block the sale, alleging that the notebook was misplaced and accusing the man of hiding the item until he wanted the cash. He also filed a cease and desist against Moments in Time over the sale.
The man legally retaliated with a “finders keepers” argument and asked the court to lawfully name him the rightful owner of the notebook. Wayne never responded, so the court ruled against him.
