It's said when it rains, it pours, and it's really coming down for poor rapper Lil Wayne. Just a week removed from his court appearance after pleading guilty for weapons posession, Lil Wayne, who just released a free download of his song No Ceilings mix tape, is being slammed with a lawsuit.

According to the Associated Press, Florida resident Thomas Marasciullo filed a copyright infringement lawsuit because in 2006 he gave them "'Italian-styled' spoken word recordings" and used them without pay or permission by Marasciullo.

But this is a more tangled web than presented because Marasciullo's son worked for Cash Money Records, the label where Lil Wayne's signed to perform with. When the elder Marasciullo demanded payment, Cash Money Records fired his son. Yikes.

As of this writing, there's no reaction from Cash Money Records or Lil Wayne.

In closing, I remind all that Lil Wayne's February sentencing for gun possession should be creative and have him create a song or album that tells people not to use guns.
