On Friday, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge upheld an April ruling against LIL WAYNE, and allowing an upcoming documentary about his life . . . called “The Carter” . . . to be released after all

Lil Wayne had asked for a permanent ban on the release of the movie, and filed a lawsuit against the film’s producers . . . technically because they reneged on a deal to give him final approval of the movie.

But the real reason is that the movie supposedly includes footage of him taking drugs(??)

According to Lil Wayne’s attorney, his, quote, “reputation and the value of his identity can be diminished . . . by association with a movie or purported authorized documentary that . . . depicts him in a negative light and/or engaged in criminal conduct.”
