It's nice to see that some people aren't being affected by the shiteous global economy!
But of course, those that aren't affected are the ones with the millions.
To celebrate Lil' Wayne's 26th birthday, rapper Birdman threw him a huge party on Monday in Miami hotspot Mansion nightclub.
Birdman, who Lil'Wayne calls his "adopted father", really went all out for the event. The two even have matching cross tattoos on their foreheads.
There was large Cash Money Records ice sculpture in the room. And the sculpture was holding bottles of Cristal, which usually retail for $1,000. There were 30 bottles there alone.
Other ice sculptures had $100 bills frozen inside.
But that isn't the best part of the night.
Pretty boy Lil' Wayne got an even better gift from Birdman.
A Lui Vuitton briefcase filled with a MILLION dollars in CASH as a gift!
Seriously!
We hope they both have some really good accountant, cuz you know the IRS is gonna want to see if that money is on the books. And, even if it's a gift, Wayne has to report that money!
Wonder if anyone stayed around for the ice sculptures to melt?
We have no idea, and you won't know any more about him after watching his debut music video (above).
Lil' Wayne is featured heavily in the clip and he's barely seen. Additionally, there are no pics of Rudolf on his MySpace.
Is he hideously ugly?????
Well, it doesn't matter. His track is the jam!
Let It Rock was produced by Rudolf, whose a guitarist and produced that has worked a lot with Timbaland. And the song, his debut single, features Wayne.
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?
Seems Lil' was carrying a bag with him which he REFUSED to have security look at.
WTF?!?
Wonder what was in there????
A gun? Drugs? Both?
A senior production person reveals all the details to the NY Post, saying:
"When Lil' Wayne showed up to perform in the show - and he showed up on time - he was carrying a bag and refused, point blank, to go through security. Everyone else - including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock - went through security, and we couldn't make an exception. He's obviously not a Boy Scout and has a history with drugs and guns.
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 leaving if you make me do this.' So he had to leave, I mean, who knows what was in that bag?
He got back in the car we'd paid for and drove off. Minutes later, we got frantic calls from his management and record label begging us to have him back. We said, 'OK, we have an opening at 7 p.m.' The next thing you know, Wayne's people are saying, 'Can we do a bit later. He's not going to be ready.'
We had a crew of 250 people waiting for him . . . Then he calls at, like, 9:30 and says, 'I'm five blocks away,' which is like 500 blocks away in New York traffic, so we just pulled the plug. It was just so disrespectful to the crew and to the 5,000 audience members. Unbelievable."
In other Wayne news, Lil' had to go to a court hearing on Monday to determine whether cops violated his rights last November after a concert with Ja Rule.
Apparently, they stopped and boarded his tour bus to find something interesting going on.
Lil' was in his boxers, sitting on a bed, and allegedly tossed a Louis Vuitton bag containing a 9mm gun to the floor.
Recently we told you how the rapper was ordered by a Miami judge to pay New Orleans jeweler Jack Sutton $146k he was due in unpaid baubles.
Well, now Lil' Wayne has missed a scheduled court appearance. But this time it's related to drug charges.
Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, Jr. was due in Yuma County, Arizona on Tuesday as part of his ongoing legal battle against charges of drug possession.
And even though Wayne didn't show up, the judge said he was not excused from appearing.
Wayne was due in court for charges of possessing marijuana, ecstasy, and cocaine.
However, his reps claim he only missed the court hearing do to an "unnamed medical condition."
On Wednesday, rapper Lil' Wayne was ordered by a Miami judge to pay New Orleans jeweler Jack Sutton $146K.
The Lollipop man reportedly purchased a $138,000 diamond ring and $32,000 gold-and-diamond necklace from the jeweler in October 2006. They did the deal by phone, with Carter promising to make monthly payments, Sutton says.
The rapper sent one $24,000 installment, Sutton sent him the jewelry, but then Wayne quit paying.
That's a load of money! Why didn't he demand full payment before releasing the jewels?!
The jeweler filed suit last October, but it took eight months to serve Lil' Wayne with a copy of the complaint.
A source says Wayne may return the $138,000 ring — rather than pay the cash.
He may be celebrating having a huge #1 album, but there's also some bad news for Lil' Wayne.
The rapper has just been slapped with another lawsuit and it's for failing to pay for work done on his custom Bentley back in 2005.
Surely, he's got the money!
Wayne, aka Dwayn Carter, Jr., is already being sued for breech of contract by LeMarck deAndre, for not paying his $80,000 bill for modifying his 1999 Bentley Arnage.
The suit was filed back in December 2007 when deAndre claimed he received $78,507 in payment from Lil' Wayne back in August 2006, that's 10 month after the invoice was originally due.
The late payment broke their agreement which then caused deAndre to cancel the job altogether.
However, deAndre has now filed for another suit against Lil' for another $123,800 in damages.
WTF?
DeAndre says, "My direct observation and experience with Dwayne M. Carter's financial and personal irresponsibility over the years has taught and demonstrated to me that he has become the 'new symbol of financial illiteracy and slavery in/of the 21st century' and this is unequivocally not fiction nor is it a misunderstanding."
He continues, "For a little over five years, I have been involved with the consistent and perpetual business behavioural illustrations of Dwayne M. Carter's high-level of financial illiteracy, lack of liquidity, leveraged acquisition liability accumulation and below zero net-worth; as well as lack of business communication, character, and integrity - all learned behaviours - and the primary reasons for non-payment."
WTF did he just say and why is he suing him again?
Shouldn't he just have sued to get his payment owed?
Looks like someone just wants to drain Lil' for all their money!
