Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry in New Orleans is suing Lil’ Wayne for $146,000 he still owes on a $138,000 diamond ring and $32,000 gold-and-diamond necklace purchase: The handmade platinum ring contains an 11.55 carat, princess-cut diamond surrounded by an additional five carats of invisible set princess diamonds. The 32-inch necklace is draped with ice — four rows deep, 105 carats total weight — in 18 karat white gold. Weezy agreed to pay monthly installments, the suit says. Sutton received a $24,000 check on Oct. 12. The next $24,000 check was dated Jan. 18. Sutton deposited it, only to learn a stop payment had been issued. Sutton says he tried to reach Carter, sending e-mails to the artist’s finacial advisor to no avail. "He spent a lot of money with me. I thought we have a really good relationship. I don’t know what happened, unless it’s a misunderstanding.” Sutton says.
