Lil Wayne was scheduled to perform across Europe but the mini-tour was cancelled because he needs a "doctor-mandated rest".
In a statement, a tour spokesman says, "Multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award -winning artist Lil Wayne regrets to announce the postponement of his forthcoming European shows due to illness. Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Europe with full intention of performing but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest.
"Management is actively working on rescheduling the shows and expects to have a new set of dates confirmed for later in year. Lil Wayne extends an apology to his fans for the short notice of this postponement, but looks forward to returning for the performances and visitation with his fans. Fans should hold onto their tickets and wait for news of rescheduled dates."
The New York City Council voted today to name the corner of 205th Street and Hollis Avenue in Queens "Run-DMC JMJ Way."
Council Member Leroy Comrie says Darryl "DMC" McDaniels has donated memorabilia to start up a Hollis Hip Hop Museum at the former Hollis Famous Burger eatery a couple of blocks away from the newly named intersection.
Drake Explains Concept Of Best I Ever Had Video W/ Complex
Yesterday, Drake leaked the video to Best I Ever Had, and while many people have expressed their interest in the song, others have displayed some distaste in the video. Drake sat with Complex to explain his logic and direction for the video.
"The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning."
The Game Apologizes To 50 Cent, 'We Were Great Together'
In a recent interview with MTV, The Game says he wants to "apologize to 50 Cent as a man." The Compton MC also wants to apologize to the fans, Dr. Dre, Eminem and the head of Interscope, Jimmy Iovine.
"Jimmy always says, 'Man, I told you guys not to break up the Beatles. He says he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed. I'm not gonna dis 50. I'm not gonna go back on the plane. He had his side, I had my side. I did what I felt was necessary for me and my career to have longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I'm Quincy Jones' age — not just be Quincy Jones' age, but be a Quincy Jones. Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Buck to Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold — because we were great together. Me and 50's chemistry was like how Method Man was to Redman when they get in. You know when Method Man gets with Redman, it's going down."
