    Lil Wayne single-handedly changed my life – Nicki Minaj

    Trinidadian-born rapper, Nicki Minaj has credited Lil Wayne for “single-handedly changing” her life.

    She announced this while introducing Wayne to the stage at her recent concert amid wild cheers from an electrifying crowd.

    Prostrating three times for Wayne, she described him as “the best rapper alive.

    “I am nobody without you. I don’t give a damn how long I’ve been in this game, I think you are the best rapper alive. Thank you for changing my life.”

    However, Lil Wayne said he would have agreed with her that he is the best rapper alive “but there is a certain person by the name of Nicki Minaj” who is better than him.

    Nicki Minaj started her career under Lil Wayne’s record label, Young Money, alongside Drake.

  • Rapper Lil Wayne pleads guilty to firearms charges

    Rapper Lil Wayne pleads guilty to firearms charges

    US rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty Friday to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon over an incident dating back to last year, US media reported, a federal offense that could see him sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

    The 38-year-old artist, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, was found to be carrying a gun and bullets when police searched a private plane in Miami in December last year.

    “Your honour, I plead guilty,” he reportedly told US District Judge Kathleen Williams during a virtual hearing.

    The Miami Herald reports that Lil Wayne, who has a home in South Florida, admitted the gold-plated pistol found in his luggage was his. He told police the weapon had been given to him as a Father’s Day gift.

    Police also found what was believed to be cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, painkillers, and more than $25,000 in cash, the newspaper said.

    But the sole federal weapons charge filed in federal court in Miami stems from the fact that Lil Wayne was convicted more than a decade ago on a separate firearms charge.a

    Convicted felons are barred from owning firearms under federal law.

    The five-time Grammy winner, who more recently made headlines for meeting with and voicing support for President Donald Trump, will face sentencing on January 28.

    Lil Wayne’s girlfriend breaks up with him over Trump endorsement

    Denise Bidot, Lil Wayne’s girlfriend, has allegedly dumped him for endorsing President Donald Trump for re-election at the ongoing US election.

    According to MTO News, the development had left Bidot “disappointed” and consequently informed her decision to break up with the American rapper.

    “[Denise] was shocked when she saw Wayne come out with Trump. She’s so disappointed in him,” the news outlet quoted a friend to Bidot as saying.

    “She broke up with Wayne. It wasn’t just his Trump support, but that was a big part.”

    Bidot, an American plus-size fashion model, is said to be backing Joe Biden, Democratic presidential candidate, to win the election.

    She had earlier confirmed her split from the 38-year-old singer in a now-deleted Instagram post.

    “Sometimes love just isn’t enough” the 34-year-old had written alongside a broken-heart emoji.

    She would later delete her Instagram page amid the dust trailing their relationship.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Wayne had in October shared a picture of himself posing with Trump while openly declaring his support for him to win at the polls.

    “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done,” he has written on Twitter.

     

  • FG reacts to Lil Wayne’s claim of being 53% Nigerian

    Nigeria’s government indicated Wednesday it is ready to welcome US rapper Lil Wayne, anytime he decides to come.

    In a tweet Wednesday, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairperson of the Diaspora Commission said the country is ready to receive Wayne and other African Americans who have traced their roots to Nigeria.

    “Our Nigerian brother . Many doing their DNA and identifying their roots. We look forward to welcoming him home someday soon”, she wrote.

    The multiple Grammy award-winning rapper made the disclosure during his chat with hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN as a guest on the “Drink Champ” show that airs on Revolt TV.

    According to him, an ancestry test conducted by a website he shared some of his details on proved that he’s more Nigerian than American.

    He gave the explanation when asked why he mentioned Nigeria in the lyrics of one of his hit songs.

    “Shout out to Nigeria, I did my 23 and me ancestry dot com and my shit came back like 53% Nigerian. Yea! Me (I) and my mum need to have a talk (Laughter),” he said.

    He also expressed eagerness to visit Nigeria, saying, “I gat to go to Nigeria…I gat to go see that place,”

    This is not the first time Lil Wayne has shown an interest to visit Nigeria. Weeks ago, while playing “Never Ever Have I”, he was asked about the one place in the world that he would love to visit and he mentioned Nigeria and Egypt.

    He said, “I have never been to Nigeria. That is the place I would love to go.”

    Last month, another American artiste, Cardi B contemplated changing her citizenship to become a Nigerian, after President Trump nearly triggered a war by killing Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
