It’s finally official. Lil Wayne is now in jail for one year and will be serving his time just like the rest of the Riker’s Island inmates. At first, it was speculated that Weezy would have special treatment with protective guards. That is now untrue, as Lil Wayne will be on a cell block with 17 other men. A near riot broke out when Wayne pulled up to the courthouse. There were so many media people taking pictures, and shouting for a reply from Weezy that he had to be escorted to the front door by two police men. Check out the video after the jump, and now we just have to wait until the time comes to FREE WEEZY!
Lil Wayne is now official on twitter, but only for a short time since his jail sentencing is March 2nd. In only a few days Weezy saw his twitter account grow to over 100,000 followers. Lil Wayne has been tweeting furiously on twitter since he created the account. Check it out at http://twitter.com/liltunechi.
According to TMZ, Lil Wayne just had 8 root canals of major dental surgery on his mouth before his jail debut. Some are now speculating that his grills have been removed but nothing official yet. Weezy’s time as a free man is coming to and end soon, I hope he’s enjoying himself now, there’s definitely a long road ahead of him. Check out the official report from TMZ after the jump.
Here are some behind the scenes pictures of Lil Wayne shooting the upcoming music video for a soon to be hit, Roger That. I can’t wait to see how this video is going to turn out, because the pics show them using some interesting props. Tyga is wearing some kind of gas mask, while Nicki Minaj wears a unique outfit with a cop hat. Weezy and the whole Young Money crew are seen in front of the green screen which should let them add a crazy background to match the wild costumes everyone is wearing. Hit the jump to see the complete gallery of Lil Wayne photos.
Recent reports show that Lil Wayne is going to have his jail sentence delayed until March 2nd for dental surgery. This is excellent news for rapper Weezy, since he can now focus on finishing more work before serving his time. Lil Wayne could be released in as little as 8 months if he keeps good behavior, or have a maximum sentence of one year. The dental work is for a possible cracked tooth under the grilles, and honestly he should have them completely removed before going in the pen. If an inmate is about to get out of jail, and knows that Weezy’s grille is worth thousands of dollars, what do you think he’s gonna do?
In a recent interview Lil Wayne said, “I think it’s amazing what’s been done for Haiti, but I also think its amazing what hasn’t been done for New Orleans.” It’s so sad, but so true. New Orleans didn’t receive half the hype that Haiti has got from the media. Even online we are still constantly seeing banners for Haiti donations or Haiti help. Lil Wayne has a good point and more people need to see this video and pass it on.
In this video above, rappers Lil Wayne and Drake talk backstage at the Grammy Awards about their Super Bowl predictions. It’s pretty obvious who Lil Wayne is picking to win. Drake couldn’t go against what Weezy said either so he talks about how the New Orleans Saints have been playing with a lot of heart. Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts are definitely an offensive force that most sports fans hate to see play against their home team. It does seem like the majority of football fans are rooting for the New Orleans Saints to win because of the Katrina disaster. But after its all said and done, who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? The colts. Now that’s just my super bowl prediction.
For the past decade, Lil Wayne has been the rap game’s most unstoppable force, and is again on the cover of Rolling Stone. But on February 9th, Weezy is expeceted to start his 12 month jail sentence for his gun possession dating back to 2007. Lil Wayne had a talk with Rolling Stone the other day before he made this months cover, and had a couple things to say. “I don’t like to stop,” Weezy said, and also “I believe you stop when you die.” Nobody is looking forward to Weezy being locked up in jail for year, I mean what are his die-hard fans going to listen to now? Wayne better have some hidden tracks lined up, or possibly get Tha Carter 4 together quickly before the jail time.
Here we have the throwback unreleased (until now) music video, “Money On My Mind” by Lil Wayne, which was one of the hottest songs on Tha Carter II. This was definitely one of my favorite tracks from when Weezy was spittin those classic lyrics. Talk about the spittin, the hot spitta, aka Curren$y is seen in the background of the music video. This video was a Jordan Towers Films production, and shows a hilarious part of Lil Wayne holding 50 Cent’s book and laughing into the camera at the end.
Derick G took this great video and compilation of Birdman and Lil Wayne while traveling around for the Farewell Tour. The whole Young Money crew can be seen at the concerts, and at the end of the second city Lil Chuckee and Weezy have a dance off. The video is stunning, and shows just what it would be like if you were on stage with Wayne and Birdman.
