Lil Wayne’s Lyrics Notebook Up for $5 Million at Auction House
Lil Wayne’s lyrics notebook is up for grabs for an expensive price tag. According to a listing at auction house Moments in Time, Weezy’s lyrics notebook is on the auction block for an astounding $5 million.
Wayne’s notebook, which can be viewed below, is from the 1990s when he was a 17-year-old superstar on Cash Money Records. The journal contains handwritten lyrics of songs like “Grown Man” and “We on Fire.” There also appears to be a doodle of Mannie Fresh but it’s hard to make out.
This rare artifact, certainly a valued item for Lil Wayne fans, should be protected and preserved as a significant treasure. Initially, the notebook was on sale for $250,000 in 2019, but Lil Wayne blocked the sale.
Five years later, the notebook is available at $5 million. Reps for Moments in Time defended the markup to TMZ citing Lil Wayne as one of the greatest rappers of all time and his handwritten songs being even more valuable.
Lil Wayne’s lyrics notebook was caught in a five-year battle between Weezy and the unidentified owner who originally discovered the journal in an old car.
Back in March of 2019, Moments in Time was trying to sell Wayne’s journal for $250,000 on behalf of a man who discovered the notebook allegedly in a car that was once owned by a person associated with Cash Money Records. While going through the contents left behind in the car, the man stumbled upon the notebook. He took possession of it and kept it in his garage for safekeeping.
