After first hearing news that Lil Wayne‘s private G-V jet had been raided at Miami International Airport on December 23rd by federal agents, due to them receiving a tip about drugs being transported on the flight, more details about the search have surfaced online.

According to Page Six, a gold-plated .45 caliber handgun and numerous drugs including heroin, ecstasy, and marijuana were all found inside a designer handbag once the FBI and ATF officers had boarded the plane from acquiring a search warrant. Wayne‘s personal chef was also found carrying approximately 20,000 dollars in cash.

Tunechi has not been charged from this search and even went on Twitter to say everything is “All goody”. Howard Srebnick, who is Tune‘s lawyer, refused to comment on the items found but did tell the Miami Herald newspaper that his client was “cleared”. However, if a large federal jury is enlisted, Weezy could still face weapons and drug charges in the future!

According to The Blast, Lil Wayne and Young Money Entertainment are being sued by their former personal chef, D’Antoine Hills, at a Florida court for an outstanding balance of nearly $35,000.00.

The chef is claiming Tunechi is refusing to pay $34,589.61 over the years of being his personal chef (from 2014 to 2017). He says that the total amount of all of his invoices equals $416.544.46 and he has only received $381,954.47 from Tune.

Hills wants Weezy to now pay up the rest of the balance owed, as well as to also pay his attorney fees for having to go to court over the situation!
