Maybe sleepy Wayne!!

Maybe they should call him Sleepy Wayne.

Lil Wayne is being sued by a Bahamas promoter, who accused the Lights Out rapper of happily taking a huge advance to perform in the tropical paradise only to wind up missing the gig because he was catching some Z's in his hotel room.

Talk about sleeping on the job.

The complaint, filed June 29 in New York Superior Court on behalf of Red City Entertainment and obtained by E! News, claims the company paid Lil Wayne a total of $432,000 to be the headliner at the Poppin' Bottles Concert held at the Bristol Wine and Spirits grounds on Sept. 26, 2008.


Red City's attorney, Glenn Gitomer, tells E! News that his client paid the hip-hopster a $210,000 advance. But not only did he not show up, Red City didn't get its money back.

"There were a lot of expenses incurred and he shows up in the Bahamas for this concert. He arrives late on the 26th and...complained about sound and lighting, and my client agreed to postpone the concert till the 27th, at which point he just didn't show up."

The promoter eventually called Nassau's finest to check on Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., at which point Gitomer says they found him conked out in his hotel room.

"He said he wasn't going to perform," added the legal eagle. "Not only did Red City pay for a warm-up band, facilities and all the other concert expenses but also paid $210,000 for his attendance and $33,000 for the accommodations for he and his people," in addition to thousands of dollars in other expenses.

Embarrassed organizers later had to apologize to fans, vendors, venue workers, police, sponsors and media for the foul-up, not to mention refund thousands of dollars in tickets and exercise major damage control to save their good name.

As a result, Red City's taking Weezy to the cleaners in a bid to recoup its losses, claiming Lil Wayne didn't live up to his contract
