Drake announced last night via Ustream [check it out HERE if you missed it] that November 5th will be the Lil Wayne Welcome Home Concert. Location hasn’t been decided, but I think it would be hot to hold it in his hometown of New Orleans.
Lil Wayne calls in to Funkmaster Flex show (NYC) and talked about his time @ Rikers (which his expected release is November)…and when asked what he listens to while locked up, he stated he doesn’t listen to anyone else’s music but his own, never has, and all he listens to is sports and his thoughts.
He also is very appreciative and more than amazed by all the support and love he receives from his fans, and never knew how much he meant to his fans until now, and says it’s breathtaking. He does try and read all his mail/letters that he receives..

It’s not many words in the world more powerful than “mother.” Those six letters can bring joy, just like they bring pain. It can invoke excitement just as quickly as it can anger, depending on the context, I guess. For myself, it means more than I can ever possibly describe, but I will try. I associate the term with immeasurable strength, beautiful patience and infinite wisdom.
You can probably already tell, but the main reason for this letter is to pay tribute to every positive matriarch on Mother’s Day. In my eyes, that day is 365 days a year, Wait, there’s more…
[Sarah, Dwayne III, and her daughter Essence this past Easter Sunday]
Greetings, Global Grind readers!
My name is Sarah ViVan. I am a 22-year-old native of Cincinnati. As an aspiring fashion stylist currently residing in Atlanta, I have two beautiful children, Essence and Dwayne. You may know me through my ties to one of the most influential artists of our time. In 2008, Lil Wayne and I welcomed our precious son into the world. Dwayne III, AKA “Lil Tune Chi,” is a blessing that we both cherish. Although Wayne is a significant part of my life, up until this point, that is all the public has known of me. But now I think it’s only fair that I introduce you all to the creative, passionate, intellectual, and playful woman that is Sarah ViVan. I am so honored and excited to blog for the Global Grind community. I see GG as a culturally forward movement, and the opportunity to express my views through such a mainstream outlet is incredibly humbling. Wait, there’s more…
Well if you didn’t hear, the media was all a Buzz, based on an alleged interview US Magazine said they had with Wayne’s ex Toya, and were reporting about Wayne’s new job in prison..
US Magazine reported:
How is Lil Wayne keeping busy behind bars?
“Wayne has a job — they got him on suicide watch for other prisoners,” his ex, BET reality star Antonia “Toya” Johnson, told Us’ Ian Drew (read his blog!) during an office visit Tuesday. “He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don’t kill themselves. He likes the job even though they don’t pay him much.”
Among the general population of inmates at New York’s Rikers Island, the rapper (real name: Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) — who is serving a yearlong jail sentence for gun possession — “is doing OK,” added Johnson, who has a 11-year-old daughter with Wayne. “He is getting along with everybody.”
Luckily, she told Us, “He didn’t have to cut his long hair!”
Well, it finally happened: Lil Wayne starts his jail sentence of 1 year today, but with good behavior, can possibly be released in 8 months… He will serve @ Rikers Island in Queens, NY…but due to his extreme popularity(as shown when he turned himself in, see the video below, which shows all the madness), he will not be amongst the general population & will be in protective custody during his time…
UPDATED: LIL WAYNE WILL BE A FREE MAN UNTIL MONDAY THE 8TH!!!
Well as you know, Lil Wayne got 1 more day of freedom yesterday due to a fire @ the courthouse, which delayed his sentencing…below is a video of when he was informed he was not “going in”..just yet.. and what better way to spend your last night, than on stage @ The Garden in NYC on the BP3 tour doing what you do best…check out Lil Wayne & Young Money below>>
Well Nivea got the best co-star for her video “Love Hurts”… and who better than her baby’s father, and likely the true inspiration behind the song…Lil Wayne!
This seems to be the topic of discussion, especially recently with Tameka Foster, ex wife of Usher Raymond. She even takes time to beef on Twitter with V-103′s Elle Duncan, because Elle made a joke about using “RAYMOND”…even though she’s not married to Usher either…[see clip below] Share and Enjoy:
