• Busta Rhymes is Dropping a New Album in 2016, Moving on From Legal Troubles

  • Lil Wayne is Recovering From Elbow Surgery in Miami Hospital

    Lil Wayne has had a tough year. The New Orleans born rapper has been named in a number of lawsuits over failure to pay bills for pyrotechnics, private jets and more. Further, he is embroiled in a deeply personal lawsuit with his former mentor and label head Birdman. The rapper is seeking $51 million in damages and withheld compensation. The lawsuit has created tensions between Cash Money artists like Young Thug and artists on Lil Wayne's Young Money imprint like Drake and Tyga, and has delayed the release of Lil Wayne's upcoming album 'Tha Carter V'. It appears, only adding to his troubles, Lil Wayne had to have surgery on his elbow. However, he is successfully recovering from the surgery now, and seems to be in good spirits. After waking up from anesthesia, Wayne tweeted, "Much luv [to] Dr. Kaplan [and] his team at Univ. of Miami hospital for a successful (elbow) surgery. [And] dey had me on the tunes during surgery... dope!"

  • Jason Aldean in Blackface as Lil Wayne for Halloween 2015 [PHOTO]

    Here's a tip: if you're considering wearing blackface for a Halloween costume or something like that, just don't do it. The act is incredibly offensive and racist, no matter what your intentions could possibly be. Unfortunately for country music star Jason Aldean, nobody shared this advice with him and now a photo of him dressed as rapper Lil Wayne in blackface for 2015's Halloween festivities. We wonder what Aldean's Tidal partners like Jay Z and, of course, Lil Wayne think of this.
