Lil Wayne is to be sued from a teenage singer he signed to his Young Money Entertrainment label, amid allegations the youngster has been abandoned by the hip-hop star.

Torion Sellers claims the Lollipop hitmaker reneged on a promise to release the teen's debut album by Spring 2013. After signing him when he was 13, the now 15-year-old artist is eager to be released from his contract so he can pursue other opportunities.

The 15-year-old has filed papers in a US court asking a judge to declare his deal invalid, because the business arrangement he agreed to with Wayne and his label partners was not submitted for court approval - which is legal requirements for all contracts with minors, reports TMZ.com.

Lil Wayne is yet to respond to the court action.

Earlier this year, it also emerged that US socialite Paris Hilton had signed a new record deal with Lil Wayne's Cash Money record label, and plans to finally unleash her second solo album.
