Birdman has scored a legal victory in a long-running lawsuit connected to the 2015 shooting involving one of Lil Wayne’s tour buses after a Georgia judge dismissed the rap mogul and Cash Money Records from the case.
The ruling, issued on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, found that the plaintiff, Alvin Lewis, had failed to present admissible evidence connecting Birdman, whose real name is Bryan Williams, or Cash Money Records to the shooting.
According to the judge, Birdman was not even in Georgia on the night the incident happened, raising further questions about the claims against him.
The court also found significant problems with Lewis’ case and directed the clerk to remove Birdman and Cash Money Records as defendants.
What Happened in the Lil Wayne Tour Bus Shooting Case?
The lawsuit dates back approximately a decade, following a 2015 incident in which one of Lil Wayne’s tour buses was shot at.
Lewis, who was driving one of the buses, accused the defendants of putting him in fear of death or serious bodily harm through an alleged attack and attempted killing without justification.
He brought several claims, including assault and battery, breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Lewis maintained that the incident left him with continuing physical and emotional injuries, as well as lost wages.
However, the judge pointed out that Lewis was not physically struck by any bullets or shrapnel during the shooting.
Judge Finds No Admissible Evidence Linking Birdman
A central issue in the ruling was the lack of evidence connecting Birdman and Cash Money Records to the attack.
The judge reportedly said Lewis failed to identify admissible evidence showing that Williams or the record label had any involvement in the shooting.
Birdman’s absence from Georgia on the night of the incident was also cited in the court’s decision.
As a result, the judge ordered that both Williams and Cash Money Records be removed from the lawsuit as defendants.
The ruling represents a significant setback for Lewis’ claims against the two defendants, although the supplied report does not establish that the entire lawsuit has been dismissed.
A Decade-Long Case Linked to Lil Wayne’s Former Label
The case also brings renewed attention to the complicated history surrounding Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records, the label co-founded by Birdman.
Wayne and Birdman previously experienced a highly publicised fallout involving their professional relationship and contractual disagreements.
However, the lawsuit over the tour bus shooting concerns allegations surrounding the 2015 incident, and the judge’s latest decision specifically addresses the claims against Birdman and Cash Money Records.
For now, the two have been dismissed from Lewis’ case following the court’s finding that the evidence presented did not establish their involvement in the shooting.
