Little People With Big Weapons
Unlike a lot of artists who use the word “lil” before their stage name, Lil Wayne is actually little. Midget little, tiny. bite sized, and he feels that he’s gotta sling. Weezy is so adamant about protecting his vertically challenged ass that he didn’t wanna go through a security at Fashion Rocks. He cancelled his performance instead. Doin’ it fo the fans. “When Lil’ Wayne showed up to perform in the show - and he showed up on time - he was carrying a bag and refu

Lil Wayne Jets Across Country To Make Court Appointment
Rapper Lil Wayne wasn't hanging around after his MTV Video Music Awards success on Sunday night - he had a flight to catch and a court appointment to keep. The hitmaker, who won an award at the Los Angeles prize-giving and performed with Leona Lewis, Kid Rock and T-Pain, jetted off to New York shortly after the ceremony to make sure he wasn't late for a weapons possession court hearing in New York.

What Brought Kanye West Back To The VMAs?
'We thought, 'Let's give him a call and see if he's interested' in closing the show, executive producer Dave Sirulnick says. By Shaheem Reid and Robert Mancini Views 707 It's not easy to cap a night featuring powerhouse performances from Lil Wayne, T.I., Kid Rock and more. So when VMA producers wanted to turn their moment into something truly monumental, they knew who to call to close the show: Mr. Kanye West. "He's one of the most pre-eminent hip-hop performers

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

It’s Just a Matter of Time Before Justin Timberlake’s Face Gets Punched
Yesterday, WWD reported that Justin Timberlake eschewed interviews prior to his William Rast fashion showing (”Justin isn’t feeling up to interviews.”). Oh, ya think those reporters were feeling “up to” standing in a caged pen to be ignored? Then, the mighty J.T. disappointed once more by not delivering on the much-fueled rumor (via a publicist!) of a song-and-dance performance. Instead, he sat around like a lame duck. Now we hear that Justin “narrowly missed being punch

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]

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.
