Lil Wayne asked a judge to shut down his ex-assistant’s demand he appear for an in-person deposition as part of their court battle, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Lil Wayne, 42, asked the judge presiding over the case to order he can appear remotely for his deposition.

In addition, he asked that he not be ordered to appear for the deposition until his ex-assistant Andrew Williams turns over all requested documents and Andrew’s deposition has been completed.

The rapper’s lawyer said he made the request to prevent the unwarranted and undue harassment of his client of an “in-person deposition” given Lil Wayne’s “busy professional schedule.”

Wayne’s lawyer also pointed out Andrew had been allowed to be deposed remotely. Wayne claimed Andrew had withheld documents.

He said he learned about this at Andrew’s recent deposition.

As In Touch previously reported, Andrew sued Wayne over an alleged incident on a private plane on June 20, 2022.

The lawsuit demanded unspecified damages for alleged assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination and negligence.

Wayne denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

In his recent motion, Wayne claimed that the medical records that Andrew did produce show he has “no serious injuries and no medical expenses.”

Wayne said the records showed Andrew visited the doctor twice after the alleged incident. He said the first visit was at the urgent care hours after he left the airplane.

Wayne said the records show the facility reported Andrew had “no swelling” and prescribed him ibuprofen, which he reported declined to take.

The musician said Andrew visited a second doctor, days after hiring a lawyer. He said the second doctor noted he did not see any “indications of anything going wrong.” Wayne said Andrew did not pay anything for either visit.

His lawyer added, “[Andrew] thereafter claims to have seen a number of other health care providers, including without limitation, a dentist and an ear, nose and throat specialist and, within the last couple of months, a neurologist. Notwithstanding [Andrew’s] alleged ‘injury,’ [Andrew] has had his own trucking business since September 2023, where he sometimes drives over 30 hours at a time. [Andrew] earns about $100,000 a year in his trucking business, which is approximately twice the amount he earned while working at [Wayne’s company].”

The rapper said that at his November 2024 deposition, Andrew “admitted under oath … that [he] had in his possession, but had no produced, additional medical records” that had been previously requested but not turned over.

Wayne said Andrew agreed to produce the documents after the deposition but “instead of honoring his word and discovery obligations, [Andrew] served a deposition notice” on him the next day.

Wayne’s lawyer said, “[Andrew’s] tactic of withholding documents so as to unilaterally alter the sequence of discovery reeks of gamesmanship and bad-faith.”

His lawyer continued, “[Andrew’s] withholding of documents concerning his claims and damages allows [Andrew] to completely ambush—if not embarrass and harass — [Wayne] at deposition by questioning him about documents [Wayne has] never before seen. “

Further, Wayne said he cannot appear for an in-person deposition and has told Andrew’s lawyer this previously.

Wayne’s lawyer told the court, “[Andrew] was informed by [Wayne] many months ago that [Wayne], who is an international music artist and celebrity, could only accommodate a remote deposition due to his touring and business schedule.”

The musician’s lawyer added, “The sole reason for Plaintiff wanting Carter to appear in person appears to be to harass, inconvenience and try to embarrass him.” A judge has yet to rule. In his lawsuit, Andrew claimed that he tried to stop a verbal argument between Wayne and a pilot from escalating.

He claimed Wayne became upset by his attempts to intervene in the situation. Andrew claimed the rapper punched him in the face with a closed fist.

“The combination of a closed fist and the numerous rings and large jewelry on the hands of [Wayne] caused great harm to [Andrew],” the suit read.

Andrew said he went directly to the local urgent care after the incident.

“As an actual and proximate result of [Wayne’s] assault and misconduct, [Andrew] has and continues to be damaged emotionally and physically, incurred general damages and special damages including incurring medical expenses, in amounts to be proven at trial,” his lawsuit read.

Wayne denied all allegations of wrongdoing. He argued self-defense as part of his effort to dismiss the case.

As In Touch first reported, Wayne is currently facing a second lawsuit over alleged assault brought by his former bodyguard. Wayne denied all allegations of wrongdoing in the case.
