Remember when NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade closed his namesake restaurant chain before it even opened and filed a lawsuit against his partners for mis-management? Well D Wade's ex-partners have filed another suit against him, in addition to the suit they've already filed claiming Wade never promoted the restaurant. The partners are now claiming D Wade refused to show up at any of the openings because the partners would not re-negotiate their original contact. After signing the deal, D Wade decided he wanted 30% of the business instead of the 10% he agreed to and he also wanted them to hire his father at $50,000.00 a year and one of his childhood friends at $75,000.00 a year per restaurant [they'd planned to open 30 of them]. When the partners balked, Dwyane stopped cooperating. A source familiar with the case said: “They actually tried to have the partners sign a new contract that was unacceptable. Dwyane tried to have us pay his dad to do nothing.” And if they didn’t renegotiate? According to the lawsuit, Wade's lawyers told the partner's lawyer's: “You can either have a happy Dwyane, or an unhappy Dwyane!”
When contacted by a Miami newspaper, Wade's people said, “We would’ve helped with anything they wanted. I was going to be Dwyane’s eyes and ears in the restaurants. They were real jobs. Plus, they initiated everything and now they turn it around. They’re trying to make Dwyane look like the bad guy who’s shaking them down. That’s not the truth.”

Get out the contracts. Let's see what they actually said. Who breached what?
What they said verbally cannot renegotiate a written contract.
Doesn't anyone watch Joe Brown/Mathis/Judy/People's Court??
You oughtta know a bad business deal when you see one.
Dolemite!
d wade must not know a damned thing about restaurants. most of them close within the first year and they don't normally really have a lot of extra loot floating around. no one should be pulling in $75k unless they're the owner or the master chef. you can't pull your friends and family into absolutely every business venture you're eyeballing. its not practical or realistic.
this has nothing to do with the story, but how the fuck his mama name him Dwyane, and say it the same way as Dwayne...lol
^^^^^ Cosign. Somebody shoulda corrected that long ago, along with Anfernee and some others I can't remember...LOL
^^^ But what the fuck is a "Plaxico"?
Dolemite!
Plaxico always make me think of Tampico juice.. and i love me some of that...
So the gimmick of having Dwayne's dad serve you wasn't a winner?
The truth will reveal itself.
i never even noticed his name was spelled wrong. black folks b so creative...(eyeroll.)
HIS MOTHER IS PROBABLY DYSLEXIC. I HOPE HE PAID FOR HER CLASSES. WHO'S DUMB ENOUGH TO ONLY GET 10%? HE IS!
He's a junior if I'm not mistaken, so someone's grandmother couldn't spell...lol
Plaxico sounds like either a mouthwash or a feminine hygiene product!
Dwyane should have had better lawyers upfront. He tried to overcompensate on the back end. #1 why did he want his friend to make more than his dad? What no job for mama? #2 $75K PER restaurant X 30?? Is he smoking crack? Come on man!
..
What I don't understand, if he was going to be an investor, the other individuals should have been happy that he signed on to do the project. This is way when you have money and people with good ideas approach you, this is way many people are turned down because of BullSh*t like this. I won't be investing in any ventures any time soon.
Im so Happy he told them OFF...
GOOD for Ne-Yo!!! I Love HIM im on his SIDE....
