An exclusive report from Us Weekly reveals that Lil Wayne purportedly shouted, “Do you know who I am?” during a heated exchange with a lawyer scheduled to question him about a supposed assault incident.

According to documents filed on Wednesday, December 3, attorneys representing Wayne’s former personal assistant, Andrew Williams, outlined their recent efforts to depose the rapper.

The legal filing states that Wayne, aged 43, attended a deposition on June 18. However, a conflict with one of Williams’ attorneys, Omar Taylor, led to Wayne’s departure before any questioning could commence.

Taylor claimed that Wayne arrived “late and visibly agitated, accompanied by his entourage.” The documentation characterized Wayne’s behavior as “hostile.”

It is alleged that Wayne used profanity and racial slurs against Taylor, who accused the rapper of subjecting him to verbal abuse.

Did Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers get revenge on Lil Wayne? Wayne, 41, apparently didn’t have a great time watching the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Washington Wizards on Thursday, February 29. “Wow!” he posted via X. “Got treated like s–t at the Laker game just now, but I figured they’d do me […]

“There was no misunderstanding, this was intentional aggression before any deposition question could be posed,” Taylor said. “[Wayne] escalated to intimidating physical posturing by standing up and leaning across the table toward [Williams’] counsel, and loudly shouting, ‘Do you know who I am? WHO the f*** IS YOU’ and ‘I’M THE GUY! I’M THE GUY!’”

Taylor claimed Wayne then called his bodyguard Jax over. “Whether armed or not, this was a clear act of intimidation and aggression,” the filing alleged. Williams’ filing said the lawyers tried to calm the situation down, but Wayne left the deposition stating, “Man, we out!”

Per an alleged transcript of the event, Wayne entered the room and asked Taylor, “The f*** you looking at n****” Taylor replied, “I’m looking at you! You have a problem with people looking at you?”

Wayne allegedly responded, “Nah, I don’t gotta problem with it, you should see my shows, got thousands of people lookin at me …”

The two men went back and forth for a bit. At one point, Taylor said, “Man, sit down and close your mouth.”

The rapper responded, “Man What?! The f*** you think you talking to!?….. “CLOSE MY MOUTH!?” Taylor told him to “sit down” which led to Wayne telling him, “CLOSE MY MOUTH!? So, so I guess you don’t want me to answer no questions huh?? Ain’t this a deposition??”

As a result, Williams demanded Wayne be sanctioned $9,400 for his behavior.

On Thursday, December 4, Wayne responded to the claims. He denied he was the problem during the recent deposition.

As the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs kicked off in New York City, observers were surprised to hear the names of numerous other celebrities mentioned during jury selection and various witness testimonies. When potential jurors were questioned starting May 5, they were asked about their familiarity with stars like Kanye West and former Danity Kane […]

He said he would appear for another deposition, but did not want Taylor physically present. Wayne said Taylor could appear remotely, but he did not want to be near him. Wayne’s lawyer asked for a protective order against Taylor from “engaging in acts of bullying, taunting, physical threats and other misconduct that Taylor committed just before the start of [Wayne’s] previously-scheduled deposition that forced [Wayne] to leave the deposition.”

The rapper’s lawyer said Taylor’s “egregious behavior included … staring down [Wayne], yelling at [Wayne] repeatedly to ‘shut your mouth,’ mocking [Wayne’s] speech and, incredibly, physically threatening [Wayne].”

Wayne’s lawyer said Taylor should not be present at any future depositions due to him being unable to “control himself.”

The response added, “Taylor has shown animosity to [Wayne] throughout this case, and for [Wayne’s] safety and decorum in this case, Taylor cannot be physically present at the deposition.” Wayne’s lawyer described the alleged incident in the filing.

“As [Wayne] entered the room, Taylor was fixated on [Wayne] and glared at him in a crazed manner — so much so, as to inspire concern in [Wayne’s] counsel. Taylor then erupted at [Wayne], who reasonably questioned why Taylor was staring at him so hard,” Wayne’s lawyer alleged. “Taylor retorted that he (Taylor) could do what he wanted, which set off a profanity-laced exchange between the two.”

“No witness should ever be subjected to these unrelenting, hostile, and unprofessional verbal and physical threats made by Taylor,” the response added.

A judge has yet to rule on Wayne’s request for a protective order barring Taylor from appearing at his next deposition.

Williams sued Wayne in 2022 for alleged assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination and negligence.

In his lawsuit, Williams said on June 20, 2022, he was on a private plane with Wayne. He said the rapper and the pilot had an argument, and he tried to intervene to prevent it from escalating.

Williams alleged that Wayne was not happy with him stepping in and punched him in the face with a closed fist. The former personal assistant claimed the hit caused great harm due to the entertainer wearing “numerous rings and large jewelry on his hands.” Williams claimed he went to the urgent care to be looked at by doctors.

His lawyer wrote, “[Williams] has and continues to be damaged emotionally and physically, incurred general damages and special damages, including incurring medical expenses.”
In response, Wayne denied the allegations of wrongdoing brought by Williams. He described his actions as being “self-defense.” He asked the court to dismiss the complaint.
