Lil’ Wayne is hiding something
Lil’ Wayne was scheduled to perform at Fashion Rocks last Friday night, but ended up being taken off the show due to his refusal to have his bag searched and to have himself wanded even though everyone including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock obliged. Page Six reports: “But he wouldn’t budge and refused to have his bag searched or have a security wand passed over him. Then he started getting abusive: ‘I don’t need your [bleeping] show - I’m

A Little Lil’ Wayne Misinterpretation of “Fashion” and “Rocks”
When Lil’ Wayne initially appeared on the grounds of the Fashion Rocks show this weekend, I’m sure he was planning more around the “rocks” than the fashion.  When asked to go through security before being allowed to perform, he simply denied and stormed off the premises.  What makes matters even worse, Lil’ Wayne’s representatives manage to beg for a second chance, and when he does get it, suddenly he switches over to “fashion,” and makes it back on the grou

50 Cent says Lil’ Wayne stole his “Lollipop”
50 Cent has nothing else better to do than to create beef, real or imaginary. If a second job were to be created, I think that instigator would suit him just fine. 50 claims that Lil’ Wayne took his concept of “Candy Shop” and turned it into “Lollipop”. More under the hood: 50 Cent digs Lil Wayne, but he can’t help but notice the similarities between Weezy’s summer smash “Lollipop” and his own 2005 hit “Candy Shop.” “‘Lollipop’” is ‘lick lick lick lick i

COP TESTIFIES IN LIL WAYNE GUN CASE: Hearing to determine if officer had probable cause to search tour bus.
*Lil Wayne attended a Manhattan court hearing yesterday on whether a police officer violated his rights by searching his tour bus in November, which turned up a loaded 9mm gun and led to a felony weapons charge.       Officer Diane Hornung testified Monday that she searched the vehicle only after seeing and smelling marijuana coming from the bus as it was parked outside of New York's Beacon Theater, where Lil Wayne had just finished a sold-out concert with Ja-Rule.  &nbs

Lil Wayne refuses to go through security & his show is canceled
Lil Wayne may be a double platinum selling artist and the best rapper alive, according to Time Magazine, but he’s not above having to go through security before performing. The NY Post reports that Lil Wayne, 25, refused to pass through a metal detector or let his bag get searched before he was due to go on stage during the Fashion Rocks event in NY this weekend. He got indignant and left, but then tried to return later and was too late to go on. His show ended up getting canceled at the last minute:

Lil' Wayne Has Something To Hide
Lil' Wayne was supposed to perform at Fashion Rocks in NYC on Friday night, but his performance was axed because he refused to go through security. Page Six reports that he showed up on time with only one bag in his hand, but refused a security check. Everyone else went through the check, so they really couldn't make an exception. A source said, "But he wouldn't budge and refused to have his bag searched or have a security wand passed over him. Then he started getting abusive: 'I don't need your [bleeping]

Is Nivea Engaged To Wayne… Pt 2
Last week, a reader sent an email in inquiring if Lil Wayne and Nivea were engaged after she attending a concert in St. Louis. She spotted a girl who resembled Nivea sitting near the stage sporting a huge rock, describing Nivea (above) down to the “T” (no make up and curly weave). I was told by someone else that Nivea was nowhere in sight at this concert leaving me to wonder if I had been duped. I hate posting things without photographic proof, so since these pics emerged, I’m about to

Lil’ Wayne Pulls Diva at Fashion Rocks Event
The teeny tiny rapper who sparkles from every angle with diamonds of questionable quality, Lil’Wayne had been scheduled to perform at much anticipated “Fashion Rocks” event but left when he freaked out and pulled a diva move when he realized he would have to go through a security screening.

Lil’ Big Diva!
Lil' Wayne thinks he's above the law. The self-proclaimed "pretty boy" was supposed to perform in New York this past Friday at Fashion Rocks. However, he left shortly after arriving. The reason?

Lil' Wayne in pothole
Marijuana smoke was billowing out of rapper Lil' Wayne's tour bus when cops stopped it on the upper West Side and found a loaded gun, a police officer testified Monday. "You could see the smoke as well as smell it," Officer Diane Hornung said. "You could smell marijuana." Hornung found a loaded 9-mm. handgun in Lil' Wayne's bag after she boarded the bus and searched the vehicle "for my safety" on July 22, 2007. The rapper, who won an MTV Video Music Award for his hit "Lollipop" this week, had just taken a
