Wayne owes Quincy USD 2,195,000 after he was counter sued by the filmmaker for preventing the movie from being profitable, reported Aceshowbiz.

The rapper sued Quincy for allegedly creating a "scandalous portrayal" of him, but failed to show up in the courtroom following his recent health scare that led his private jet to make an emergency landing.

As a result, a video of his deposition was shown in front the judge but it put him in disadvantage.

In the footage, the 'Young Money' rap mogul looked overly comfortable while appearing dismissive by stubbornly repeating the same answers to a series of "do you recall" questions from Quincy's lawyer Pete Ross.

 

Wayne said "I don't recall" or "I don't remember" again and again when the attorney tried to make him confirm his runs-in with the law including his 2010 jail stint on Rikers Island. At one point, he blurted, "I don't know" even before the next question was fired.

When he was asked to wait for the question, Wayne shrugged it off, "I'm sorry, that's my psychic."

The 'Lollipop' hitmaker was chastised for his "unreasonable conduct in the deposition" and "irresponsible behavior."
