Lil Wayne Investigated for Incident in 2021
Police investigated the alleged event back in December of 2021. Authorities were reportedly called to Wayne’s Hidden Hills, Calif. home after getting a call from Christian.

When Christian went to the bathroom instead, he claims Wayne pulled out a AR-15 rifle and threatened him, prompting the guard to run out of the house and to the gated community’s guard shack, where he reached out to authorities. Wayne denied the incident happened.
