Lil Wayne Bus Shooting Suspect's Lawyers Say He Had No Motive To Kill The Rapper

Lil Wayne's bus was shot at in Atlanta earlier
this year, and since the initial report, the story
has become increasingly convoluted.

First of
all, the suspect was identified as Jimmy
Winfrey , a close affiliate of Young Thug's who
once served as his manager. Later on, Both
Thug (who was speculated to have beef with
Wayne at the time) and Birdman were named
in the indictment, suggesting the two conspired
to have Lil Wayne killed.
With Winfrey set to stand trial, TMZ reports that
the suspect's lawyers have argued that the
claims are absurd, comparing Lil Wayne and
Thugger's relationship to two opposing
quarterbacks. "Clearly, the New Orleans Saints
and Atlanta Falcons are rivals because they are
fighting every year to win the same division: the
NFC South. Yet, this does not provide a motive
for Drew Brees to kill or maim Matt Ryan," they
stated.
The legal team has also argued that Thug
idolizes Wayne, which Thug confirmed in a
recent interview with GQ , expressing frustration
over their lack of collaborations: "I always
wanted to be in the studio with Wayne. I would
tell Birdman to bring him over, but he never
fucking came."
We'll have to wait and see if the arguments
hold up in court.
