Lil Wayne’s ex-girlfriend Nivea was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and reckless driving over the weekend after she allegedly crashed into a tree in Atlanta, Georgia.

The R&B singer, who has a child with Wayne, had attended a wedding reception on Saturday night and was driving home after the event in the early hours of Sunday morning, Nivea, who was previously married to The-Dream, reportedly crashed her Mercedes into a tree trunk which had fallen down following a recent storm in the area, according to TMZ.com.
When cops arrived at the scene, she allegedly had “bloodshot, glassy eyes and smelled like alcohol (sic)” and claimed she had failed to see yellow police tape directing drivers away from the hazard.
The singer was taken in by cops but insists she only had three drinks throughout the evening and was not drunk at the time of the incident.
An unnamed child passenger was unhurt in the collision.

Embattled rapper The Game has blasted TV network bosses in the U.S. after learning the video for his new single Red Nation has been banned from broadcast for its portrayal of gang culture.

The Dreams hit-maker, real name Jayceon Taylor, was forced to cancel a tour of Canada last month after immigration officials refused him entry into the country due to his alleged affiliation with notorious Los Angeles gang The Bloods. And now the street links are causing The Game more problems.

He claims his Red Nation promo, which features collaborator Lil Wayne, has been deemed inappropriate for airing on cable networks MTV and BET.

In a post on his Twitter.com blog on Tuesday, he writes, “So BET ‘BANNED’ the REDNation video !!!!! Said me & (Wayne) were too gang affiliated in it. Thoughts?”

Shortly afterwards, the rapper added, “This just in: the video so HARD it just got ‘BANNED’ from MtV too ha ha ha….”

However, The Game is refusing to let the snub derail his plans for promotion – he has vowed to release the video online so fans can form their own opinions about the controversy for themselves.

He tweets, “F**K IT !!!! I’m premiering (sic) it on Thursday online MYSELF!!!”

Rap superstar Lil Wayne has teamed up with Limp Bizkit to work on the reunited band’s first album in eight years.

The “Lollipop” hitmaker made a departure from hip-hop with the 2010 release of his alternative rock project “Rebirth,” but returned to his rap roots within months after receiving mixed reviews for his efforts.

However, Wayne is trying to conquer the genre again by rocking out with Limp Bizkit on “Gold Cobra.”

Revealing news of the collaboration on Twitter.com, frontman Fred Durst writes, “Oh, excuse me, sixteenth song mixed is Ready To Go featuring Lil Wayne! …I love it.”

Limp Bizkit’s last album, “Results May Vary,” was released in 2003.

Rap superstar Lil Wayne has been forced to axe plans to tour the U.K. this summer after British immigration officials refused to issue him a work visa due to his criminal convictions.

The Lollipop hit-maker is currently on the road in the U.S. with Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross and Travis Barker, as part of his I Am Still Music Tour, and he was expected to launch the trek across the Atlantic after the May release of his album, Tha Carter IV.

However, Stereoboard.com reports U.K. border officials have rejected Wayne’s visa application as a result of his recent prison stint for weapons possession. The hip-hop star served eight months for the charge last year. Immigration representatives also highlighted his other legal woes, including allegations of drug possession in 2008 and 2009.
As a result of the visa denial, Wayne has scrapped all planned dates in Europe, including a performance at the Marquee Festival in Cork, Ireland on July 4th.  A representative for Wayne has yet to respond to requests for a comment.

The embattled rapper isn’t the only star to have experienced problems with the U.K.’s strict immigration laws – Snoop Dogg incurred the wrath of border officials in 2006 when he was arrested following a fracas at London’s Heathrow Airport, prompting them to deny him entry in 2007 after labeling the rapper a threat. The Gin and Juice hit-maker appealed the case and the ruling was reversed in 2010.

Lil Wayne has postponed the release of his upcoming album by a month to give himself more time to perfect the tracks.

The hip-hop star’s latest record, “Tha Carter IV,” was due to hit shelves on May 16, but the launch has now been pushed back until June 21.

Mack Maine, president of Lil Wayne’s Young Money record label, has put the delay down to the rapper’s determination to make sure the album is perfect.

He tells MTV news, “He’s still perfecting a few things, he’s a perfectionist… changing a few lines. We also have a huge record that wasn’t done yet. We’re in L.A. right now. We have a little studio time and it should be done probably by Monday.

“If you calculate all of that, by the time we would’ve finished mixing, we wouldn’t have met the (original) due date to turn in the album. So we had to push it back.”

A representative for Lil Wayne has dismissed reports alleging the rap superstar had a visa request to tour the U.K. denied by immigration officials, insisting no documents were ever filed.

The Lollipop hitmaker was said to have axed plans to take his I Am Still Music Tour to Europe in May after encountering trouble with border representatives.

Stereoboard.com claimed Wayne had had his work visa application rejected last month due to his recent eight-month prison stint for weapons possession.

But the hip-hop star’s spokesperson has denied the allegations and expressed hopes to travel across the Atlantic in the coming months.

In a statement issued to WENN, Wayne’s management says, “No visa was ever filed, nor were there any U.K. tour dates announced or tickets sold. Lil Wayne is currently headlining his I Am Still Music Tour across the U.S. and Canada with plans to extend the tour through North America this summer.

“We hope to bring the I Am Still Music Tour to the U.K. in the later half of the year.”

Lil Wayne is in a small and select group of hip hop artists that have had the honor of filming MTV Unplugged. The rapper puts on an awesome show and opens up about his jail time.

Lil Wayne has joined an elite group of hip hop artists, including LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill and B.o.B., that have been a part of MTV’s Unplugged.

“It was humbling just to be a part of. As an artist that’s watched the game as closely as I did, to be on Unplugged is a high honor,” Wayne told the LA Times. “I’ve gotten people that haven’t texted me in a long time, text me today saying congratulations. It is that kind of thing. I felt great about it.”

Lil Wayne spent eight months behind bars for attempted gun possession from an arrest in 2007. He released his last CD, I Am Not a Human Being, while in jail – and it went on to debut at number two on the Billboard chart.

During his Unplugged performance, Lil Wayne used music to tell his stories. “A few months ago I was in a dark place that I don’t like to really shed light on,” he told the audience. “Everyone always asks, ‘How was it?’ I figured I’d find a way to answer that question.” He then went into a cover of 2Pac’s Hail Mary.

He also hinted about his upcoming album, slated for a June 21 release. “Just know that I have a pleasant surprise. A very pleasant surprise for this album when it comes out,” Lil Wayne said. “I’m only doing this for the fans. Which I do every… thing for.”

Check out MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged premiering on June 12 at 9 p.m. on MTV.

Two security guards who escorted Lil Wayne after a gig in Indiana on Tuesday night have been arrested on suspicion of impersonating police officers.

Ronald Andre Harrod, 43, and Larry Lee Richardson, 23, were part of a security team taking the rapper to a nightclub in Bloomington, Indiana after a concert at Indiana University’s Assembly Hall.

The two men, both from Indianapolis, allegedly dressed in police-style uniforms with gun belts and drove vehicles with flashing red and blue lights and sirens in a motorcade with the hip-hop star’s tour buses in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The men, who are believed to be employed by a local company, are facing charges of impersonating a public servant. They claim to have been given permission and the credentials to drive with lights and sirens.

Paris Hilton interviewed Lil’ Wayne for the April issue of Interview magazine, and the match provided some pretty amazing quotes.

The hip hop star talked about what it feels like to be called the “new king of hip-hop”, discovering Drake, and the most bizarre thing he has read about himself.

The two compare their time in solitary confinement and the possibility of a collaboration on Paris’ next album.

Below are some of the interview’s best quotes:

HILTON: And now you’re being called the new king of hip-hop. What do you think of that? Is it something that’s hard to live up to? Or is it exciting to have people say that?

WAYNE: It’s very exciting. I love pressure, so I guess if that brings forth pressure, then I’m up for it. But, you know, titles are titles, and names are names. As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.

HILTON: What’s the most bizarre thing that you’ve ever read about yourself?

WAYNE: The most bizarre thing I’ve ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I’m dead— mostly because I was reading it. [both laugh]

HILTON: I read that about myself once, too. It’s pretty bizarre.

Lil’ Wayne on his experience with the paparazzi in Miami:

“The only time I ever really witnessed some crazy paparazzi was during my court experiences. Every time I rode up to court, as soon as I jumped out of the truck, they were there to snap, and all in our way to where we couldn’t walk. It’s nowhere near like that around here. But maybe I’m just not that caliber of person that they want to take pictures of me like that.”

Lil’ Wayne on discovering Drake and the one thing he has taught him from his own experiences:

“When I first heard Drake, I already knew that he had potential beyond my imagination, because the kid was singing and rapping—and he was rapping real well…So that’s when I already knew that he was gonna blow up, right there. He would’ve done it—with me or not—I just wanted to make sure it was with me. And the main thing I’ve told him, or taught him, for lack of better words, is just to stay humble and remember who you are throughout it all, because there’s gonna be moments in every single day when you’ll have to go back to that person and reflect on that person. You have to self-reflect. If you forget who you actually are, then what’s the use of even looking in the mirror.”

Lil’ Wayne on his lyrics:

“I don’t hold nothing back. I do exactly what I want to do, and say exactly what I want to say. Sometimes I consider the fact that I have a daughter, but I also think about the realities of the world…I mean, once I get through that hump, then, like I said, I just say what’s on my mind.”

Lil’ Wayne on why his music is the way it is:

“Music is a reflection of who you are, and if those things that you mentioned are what your music is all about, then I guess that’s who you are…I speak about what I speak about, and I guess that’s because I’m a crazy- ass nigga…You have Jay-Z, and he speaks about more corporate things, and I’m quite sure he’s a pretty corporate guy.”

Lil’ Wayne and Paris Hilton on solitary confinement:

WAYNE: For me it was okay, because it just meant that I was alone with my thoughts.

HILTON: I had to do 24 nights in solitary. [Hilton was held in a separate cell as a safety precaution.]

WAYNE: Oh, so you know how it is.

HILTON: Yeah, I know how it is.

HILTON: How happy are you to have your freedom now?

WAYNE: Words cannot explain.

HILTON: Yeah, I know how you feel. [laughs] It’s the best feeling in the world when you come out.

Lil’ Wayne on if he is satisfied with his career:

“I’m nowhere near satisfied and I’m always hungry for more. I’m a very creative person, and the best part about creation is creating. So I always love to come up with new things, new ideas, new thoughts.”

HILTON: Do you believe in horoscopes?

WAYNE: I’ve read horoscopes before and what they say about Libras. But I would actually love to not be what somebody writes down—I don’t want to be described.

HILTON: Do you have any pets?

WAYNE: I like animals, but I only have a few pets. I have a bunch of fish, and I have two sharks. Those are my dudes.

HILTON: Wow. Sharks? Nice.

EHRLICH: How big are the sharks?

WAYNE: One is a little baby, so he’s about a foot or two, or something like that. Then the other one is a good two, two and a half feet, or almost three feet. EHRLICH: So do you have a huge pool for them? Or do they stay in a tank?

WAYNE: They live in a crib…It’s like a little pond under the stairwell in my house. So they swim under there.

HILTON: That’s dope.

Paris on what goals she wishes to accomplish by the end of the year:

“I’d really love to finish my album, because I’ve been working on it for so long…I’d also love to just continue doing my businesses, and be more confrontational with people…”

Lil’ Wayne on what goals he wishes to accomplish by the end of the year:

“I want to bank a cool $50 million at least. At the end of this year, I want to be able to say that I banked $50 million. Not generated $50 million, but actually banked $50 million.”

WAYNE: I wanna ask you something, Paris. When are you dropping your album?

HILTON: When am I dropping the album?

WAYNE: Yeah. Do you know?

HILTON: Hopefully soon. I’ve been working on it for so long—since my last album [Paris, 2006, Warner Bros.]. So I want to release it by this summer, because I have a lot of summer bangers. I want to just have it out, because that’s when people love to party.

WAYNE: That’s cool.

HILTON: If I had you on a song too, that would be hot.

WAYNE: That was gonna be my next question. I was gonna ask you, how are you gonna release an album and don’t get me on it?

HILTON: Well, if you would be on the album, then I would be honored. That would be the sickest thing. We should get each other’s phone numbers so we can call each other after the interview or text or something.

WAYNE: Cool. Sounds good.

HILTON: My number is 310-XXX-XXXX.

WAYNE: Okay. I’ll text you my number.

HILTON: …I have a recording studio that I built in my house—and a nightclub too.

EHRLICH: You have a nightclub in your house?

HILTON: I built one, yeah, because I don’t really like to go out as much as I used to, so I just built a club at my house with the studio attached to it.

WAYNE: You’re so fuckin’ rich.

EHRLICH: Do you have a disco ball in there?

HILTON: No, it’s really elegant. Although it has a stripper pole, so maybe it’s not that elegant.

The April issue hit newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on today, March 28, and nationwide on April 5.

Also, Lil’ Wayne will be taking over Interview Magazines website this week from March 28 – March 30 providing his own exclusive content to the website.

Lil Wayne is allegedly facing another huge tax bill just months after settling a $1.13 million debt with authorities.

The rapper was hit with an income tax demand last June while he was serving a jail sentence on gun possession charges, and he paid the bill less than three weeks after his release from prison in November.

However, the Lollipop hit-maker is now said to be in tax trouble again after officials at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed a $5.6 million lien against the star last Monday in Miami, Florida.

The allegedly unpaid bill relates to income taxes from 2008 and 2009, according to The Detroit News.
