“Celebrity Gossip and Entertainment industry news”

I guess Lauren London and Nivea and his other baby momma’s won’t have to worry about getting big child support payments. We hear that Lil Wayne has the highest grossing hip-hop outing of the year — and the most lucrative rap jaunt that Billboard has ever tracked. The final numbers for Lil Wayne’s 2008-09 North American touring grossed about $42 million and drew nearly 804,000 fans, according to Shawn Gee, Lil Wayne’s tour producer and tour business manager. “It’s definitely one of the biggest in the last couple of years,” Gee tells Billboard.com. “Our plan was to prove that Wayne was a viable headlining arena artist.”
I must admit, that lil twerp got hard earned money. My girls and I attend the America’s Most Wanted tour this past Sunday because we thought Drake would definitely be at the last leg of the tour which was in South Florida. But Drake was a NO SHOW! We were pissed! Nevertheless, it was an entertaining show if you are really into “current” hip hop!
