Lil Wayne may find it even harder to finally know who tried to kill him in April. This is because the man accused of shooting up the rapper's tour bus says "it wasn't me."

Jimmy Winfrey's attorneys  say their client had no intention of killing anyone talkless a motive to hurt Wayne.

They however acknowledged that Winfrey - who's currently in jail awaiting trial - was an associate  of Young Thug but say Thug worships Wayne so it makes no sense he'd try to kill him.

The lawyers acknowledge there's beef in hip hop but that doesn't mean rappers automatically want to kill each other. "Clearly, the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons are rivals because they are fighting every year to win the same division: the NFC South. Yet, this does not provide a motive for Drew Brees to kill or maim Matt Ryan," Winfrey's lawyers say.

The lawyers say there are indeed actual rap beefs, but the idea that Wayne and Young Thug are the next Tupac and Biggie is prosperous.
