It certainly would have been cheaper to buy an alarm clock. Lil Wayne is being sued for nearly half-a-million bucks for sleeping when he should have been performing.

Red City Entertainment claims it fronted $432,000 for a Wayne concert appearance in the Bahamas. On September 27, 2008, there were plenty of lights and cameras… but no action, because Wayne was passed out in his hotel room. When he didn’t show for the performance, cops went to his hotel and found him unconscious.

In the lawsuit filed today, Red City claims it gave Wayne a $210,000 advance. The balance is for his hotel expenses and various costs involved in throwing the failed concert.

Calls to Lil Wayne’s rep were not returned.

Lil Wayne is refusing to give up his penchant for the potentially fatal cough medicine-based drink ’syrup’, insisting on leaving his fate in God’s hands instead.

The Lollipop rapper, real name Dwayne Carter, is rarely seen without a Styrofoam cup in hand, containing the dangerous mix of promethazine or codeine and juice. UGK star Pimp C died in December 2007 partly due to his addiction to the drink, but Wayne is adamant he will never give up the vice – or even quit his love of marijuana.

And he credits his faith and determination to succeed in his career with helping him to keep his habits under control.

He says, “I depend on God and motivation. I don’t depend on cough syrup and marijuana. In terms of smoking, I love to smoke, yes.”
