Young Thug and Birdman are finally out of the lawsuit over the 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus — more than a decade after the attack, and nearly a decade after the case was filed.

A Georgia judge issued two court orders on Tuesday, Nov. 10, dismissing Young Thug (Jeffrey Williams) and Birdman (Bryan Williams) — along with their labels YSL and Cash Money Records — from the civil suit filed in 2016 by Wayne’s former tour bus driver Alvin Lewis. Judge Eric A. Brewton found “no evidence of an employment relationship” between accused shooter Jimmy “Peewee Roscoe” Winfrey and either YSL or Cash Money, and rejected phone records offered to tie Birdman to the attack.

The shooting happened April 26, 2015, when someone opened fire on Wayne’s tour bus on I-285 in Atlanta. Lewis alleged Winfrey acted at Thug’s and Birdman’s direction. Neither rapper was ever criminally charged, and the long-running feud between Wayne and Cash Money has since been resolved. Birdman wasn’t even in Georgia the night of the shooting, according to TMZ.

The case isn’t fully over: Lewis plans to appeal, and his claims remain pending against Winfrey and Arnold “YSL Duke” Martinez, with a court conference set for February.
