Young Thug & YSL Catch Major Break in Lil Wayne Tour Bus Shooting Lawsuit

Young Thug has received a major legal victory in a decade-long case connected to the infamous 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus. A Georgia judge has dismissed the claims against the Atlanta rapper and his YSL organization, marking a significant development in a lawsuit that has followed several major names in hip-hop for years.

According to reports, Judge Eric A. Brewton removed Young Thug and YSL from the civil lawsuit filed by Alvin Lewis, Lil Wayne’s former tour bus driver. The case dates back to April 26, 2015, when gunfire struck Wayne’s tour bus on Interstate 285 in Atlanta after the rapper performed at Compound nightclub. Nobody was injured, but Lewis maintained that the incident left him dealing with emotional distress and lost wages.

Lewis alleged that PeeWee Roscoe carried out the shooting on behalf of Young Thug. However, the judge reportedly found insufficient evidence connecting the rapper to the attack, specifically noting the absence of an employment relationship between Thug and Roscoe.

Birdman and Cash Money Records were also removed from the lawsuit, giving both sides of the dispute another major legal development. The claims against Roscoe and YSL Duke remain active, meaning the case is not completely over.

Lewis’ attorney, Jeff Gewirtz, has indicated that his client intends to challenge the ruling. A hearing concerning the remaining proceedings is expected in February.

The lawsuit has been one of hip-hop’s most talked-about legal stories because of the history between Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and the wider YSL circle. The 2015 shooting also resurfaced during the YSL RICO proceedings, keeping the incident in the headlines long after it happened.

For Young Thug, the dismissal is a significant step forward, although the broader legal dispute continues. After years of courtroom battles and public scrutiny, the rapper has another reason to welcome a legal victory.
