Video: Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV Release Party x Speaks On Favorite Football Player

Above, you can watch some footage from Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album release party that was hosted at Boulevard3 on August 28th in Los Angeles, California. In the video, a few of the YMCMB artists speak on Weezy, what it’s like working with him, C4, and more! You can also view some photos from the red carpet, and you can read what Tunechi told to XXL Magazine about his favorite football player:

The NFL season kicked off last night (September and football fans everywhere rejoiced. The Green Bay Packers beat the New Orleans Saints 42-34 in a action packed slugfest which came down to a nail biting goal line defending last play by the Cheeseheads.
There is no doubt that one of the biggest sports fanatics this side of the Mississippi, Lil Wayne, had his shades off and was watching the Pack versus his hometown heroes. While Thursday saw only one game played, this weekend, most of the other teams take the field and while the man with the biggest album in the world will enjoy the faceoffs, the NFL will never be the same for Wayne. Birdman, Jr.’s favorite player Brett Favre is retired—seemingly for good this time—and Weezy says there are no replacements.
“Who’s my favorite football player after Brett Favre?” Wayne asked XXLMag.com. “That’s my favorite football player. I ain’t got no other favorite football player! I’m a grown ass man. You don’t just jump to another nigga; ‘oh that’s my favorite now!’ Nah nigga, that’s my favorite football player; Brett Favre. Ain’t no other nigga could fuck with him.”
Wayne has actually gotten a chance to not just see the future Hall-Of-Famer play live over the years, but the two have met and Weezy even has some signed Favre sports paraphernalia. And when Wayne was in jail last year, Favre, who was a member of the Minnesota Vikings checked on Weezy and sent words of encouragement through then teammate and friend of the Young Money/Cash Money family Brian McKinney.

“Yea, yea. Yea that’s, you know, he from the South,” Wayne said of Favre compassion. “That’s just how we are from here, nah mean? I’m quite sure he’s aware of my admiration for him and his game, his career. He shows the same for me and mine.”

Bow Wow’s Album To Drop December 6th

Rapper Bow Wow’s Cash Money debut will come out this upcoming December. Previously, fans had been told this November but now the album has pushed back. Reasoning behind the setback sounds like the typical statement that most artists release when their album gets pushed back.

Typical (Business Sh**) no biggie. This album is more important to me than anything. For the last 2 years I have been working on this album since the day I signed. Even while working onLottery Ticket and Madea’s Big Happy Family. I want this to be perfect not just for myself but for yall as well. No I’m not tryna build hype I believe the hype will build as we get closer to December and if you ask me the hype is already building.”

Bow goes on further to state on his blog site that the extra time will allow him to give more to his fans.

“I now have the time to give yall way more material and videos than before. Because of the distance between now and December, I’ll have one of the biggest album roll outs in my career. I have time to drop 2 singles before my album comes out as well as videos. Even ones off “Greenlight 4″ I now can successfully deliver the “Batman” and “Boy or girl” videos prior to my singles off Underrated and album release.”

Looks like Bow Wow is gearing up take the industry by storm especially with features from Lil Wayne, The Game, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, Fabolous, and a ton of other people. Are you excited about Bow Wow’s upcoming album?

Did Amber Rose And Wiz Khalifa Get Married?

Amber Rose has been telling everybody that she wants to be Wiz’s wifey and the mother of his children. From the looks of things, I’m starting to wonder if the couple secretly got married. A picture has surfaced on the net of Wiz and Amber out in Las Vegas just a few days ago. In the pic, Amber is seen wearing a white dress and Wiz is in a black tux. When have you ever seen Wiz wear a tux? Makes me think they got married on the low and didn’t tell anybody! To add to the mix, Amber tweeted the other day calling Wiz her husband.

Sources around the internet state that, the two have actually been engaged for about 4 months now but kept it on the hush as they wanted to reveal the big news at Wiz’s birthday. Wiz’s birthday was two days ago…so is the cat out of the bag? Amber hasn’t tweeted since Wiz’s birthday either. So are they on their honeymoon? What do you think of this matter? Are they married or what?
