Lil Wayne Says He Talks To God

'I tell him everything,' Weezy says in June deposition video stemming from lawsuit against director Quincy Jones III.

If you've ever been to a Lil Wayne concert, then you know he starts off his show telling fans three things, the first being "I believe in God."

Well Weezy's relationship with his higher power doesn't end onstage. During a filmed [article id="1694410"]June deposition[/article] where the superstar rapper was questioned in connection to his lawsuit against filmmaker Quincy Jones III, Wayne remained largely uncooperative, but did profess his faith. TMZ obtained the footage and has been releasing it in segments.

Tunechi, who has filed a suit against Jones for using his music in his 2009 Wayne documentary "The Carter" combatted QDIII's attorney line of questioning with humor and irreverence. When the lawyer asked Weezy if he remembered who he first told about his distaste for the film the YMCMB cash cow caught amnesia. "No, I just told the people that handle those situations for me. ... I can't recall the names off top," he responded.

After some more probing the "A Milli" MC did give up some information. "The first person likely that would've been told by me would be God, because I tell him everything," Wayne said with a straight face.

When the lawyer, Pete Ross, asked for clarification, Wayne confirmed that he was talking about the God. "The man above," he stated.

Wayne, however, said he couldn't remember exactly what he had told God and that was how most of the deposition seemed to go. In the clips released earlier this week, the Grammy Award-winning artist chastised Jones' lawyer for asking what he felt were ridiculous questions, like when Ross asked if Wayne had interviewed with famed journalist Katie Couric, immediately after screening the interview in front of a judge. "Pete Ross, that's a stupid-ass question," Weezy fired before pointing to a television that appears off camera. "You just saw me on there giving an interview with her."

At other points during the deposition the rapper continued to be uncooperative while taunting Ross. "You know he can't save you, right?" he asks the lawyer, motioning to the judge. "In the real world, that guy right there, he can't save you in the real world."

MTV News confirmed with Pete Ross on Tuesday that the footage, though edited, was from the actual deposition with Weezy but declined further comment, noting that the trial will begin in two weeks.

Not that any of this legal drama has kept the prolific rhymes slinger from the studio. Rap-Up.com is reporting that Tune's next album [article id="1687948"]I Am Not a Human Being II[/article]will be released on November 13.
