On Tuesday, a judge agreed to dismiss the drug charges brought against rap star Lil Wayne.  As you may recall, Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was arrested during the summer of 2006 at his hotel. Atlanta Police say they found bottles of hydrocodone and a generic form of Xanax along with marijuana.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Michael Johnson granted the rapper’s request to suppress evidence on the basis of an illegal search. Wayne’s attorney says he was not staying in the room when the arrest was made, so they couldn’t prove the drugs were for him. (more…)

Prom Queen – Lil Wayne

Jimmy Kimmel had a wierd combo of celebrity guests on his show last night. Grammy Award Winning rapper Lil Wayne and renowned news anchor Charles Gibson were on his show.

The rapper talked about his $150K diamond studded teeth and his new video for “Prom Queen”.

The two also played a game of Scrabble! LOL!

Lil Wayne is known for cancelling shows at the very last minute. Well, this time he gotta pay up for it. Lil Wayne is being sued by a Concert promoter, Ed Strickland, for $1.3 Milli. Weezy didn’t show up for an October show, and nixed a December make up show. The rapper skipped out on a third date too! Weezy’s excuse was due to “band” issues. This forced Strickland to take his case to court. The no-shows have resulted in over $300,000 in bills for Strickland, General Manager of RMF Productions, who had previously advanced Wayne $100,000 back in October. His last correspondence with the rapper was via e-mail, canceling the last date.

By the way, Lil Wayne brought his girlfriend/fiance, singer Nivea, to the Grammys last night (see pic above). I guess this can put to rest speculation that the two are engaged. I believe its true you guys!

Check out a sneak peak of Lil Wayne’s interview with Katie Couric’s on her All Access Grammy Special on CBS. The show will air on February 4th, 9 p.m.

There is no question that Lil Wayne had a successful 2008 with his multi-platinum record, Tha Carter III. It would only be right for Weezy to prepare himself for an outstanding follow up. We hear his upcoming album will be entitled “Rebirth”, but let me warn all his fans that this album won’t be the usual. MTV News has confirmed that the anticipated follow up which will be released on April 7th will be a ROCK album from beginning to end. Check out Lil Wayne’s first single “Prom Queen” which was leaked last night…Tell us what you think about it?

Controversial 50 Cent is back with a new track disrespecting some people in the game.
