Lil Wayne’s legal team has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a blog that published clips of a sex tape allegedly featuring the rapper.

According to TMZ, the blog Hollywood Street King has been issued with the ultimatum to remove the video within five days.

The cease-and-desist does not specifically mention a sex tape, though the video footage posted to the blog supposedly shows Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, having sex with two girls.

Last month rumours circulated that someone had obtained footage of Carter and was ‘shopping’ around various sites trying to sell it. The rapper said he would “sue the hell” out of anyone who leaked it but also suggested it might not exist.

The letter reads: “We hereby demand that you immediately cease the use, exploitation and/or distribution of the video and that you deliver all copies, including electronic copies, of same to us or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of Mr. Carter’s rights in the future.”

Carter’s rep told TMZ that he was not aware he was being filmed at the time.

The Independent has contacted Carter for comment.
