What The Sources Do Not Fully Settle
The core event is well supported, but some details remain unsettled across the reviewed source set.
AP text reposted on a forum says “someone - either Lil’ Wayne or members of his entourage - threw money into the crowd.”
Contemporary 2006 coverage summarized by XXL says “someone threw wads of cash into the crowd from the stage during Wayne’s performance,” without attributing it specifically to Lil’ Wayne.
Later lawsuit-focused reports often frame the allegation as Lil’ Wayne throwing the money, but some contemporaneous reporting left open whether it was Lil’ Wayne or someone in his entourage.
iHipHop, citing The Baltimore Sun, says $20, $10, $5 and $1 bills were tossed.
The Daily Record quotes Morgan State spokesman Clinton Coleman saying he heard from university police that Lil’ Wayne threw mostly $1 bills.
These are not necessarily mutually exclusive; one source describes mixed denominations, while the other says the majority were $1 bills.
