A unique piece of music history is up for grabs as a notebook containing Lil Wayne’s lyrics is now on auction. Originally reported by TMZ, this rare item, dating back to the 1990s, has seen its price skyrocket to $5 million after initially being listed for $250,000 in 2019.
Moments in Time, the auction house handling the sale, first marketed the notebook in 2019. The seller claimed to have found it in a car previously owned by Cash Money Records, the record label that represented Lil Wayne.
The situation led to a legal dispute over the ownership of the notebook and the lyrics within. Lil Wayne argued that the lyrics were his intellectual property. However, the court ultimately dismissed his claim, siding with the individual who found the notebook. With this legal hurdle cleared, the auction can now move forward, offering fans and collectors a chance to own a significant piece of Lil Wayne’s early career.
This notebook not only represents a tangible link to Lil Wayne’s formative years in the music industry but also underscores the high value placed on original music memorabilia. As the auction unfolds, it will be interesting to see who ultimately secures this rare artifact and for what price.
