Which Hip-Hop Magazine Is Out Of 25k As A Result Of Lil Wayne's Snub?
Posted on October 27, 2008 9:00 AM
Rapper Lil Wayne is really feeling himself these days. Check out what I'm hearing he did at a recent award show.
[This post has been updated with new information.]
The industry is buzzing about new word that Lil Wayne has had it with one semi-popular southern based magazine. Someone is leaking information because apparently this magazine that recently had an award show was really expecting to lock in the top selling rap star for their third annual award ceremony. This mag is based out of Atlanta.
[Please note, I am not mentioning the magazines name because LORD knows I don't need to be dealing with any cease & desists today. And no, it's not HHW!]
According to the buzz, Lil Wayne had agreed to perform @ the show. I hear that his people had tentatively confirmed his appearance. I'm even hearing that the magazine went as far as to secure a 25k private jet for Weazy and his entourage ensuring his attendance. But it looks like nobody told Lil Wayne, and when the self-proclaimed "Martian" found out where his next gig was to take place he pulled out.
I hear that Wayne canceled an hour before boarding the plane. I was given a quote of what Wayne allegedly expressed, but I'm sure I am already straddling the fence here so let's not push, shall we. However, there's never been anything wrong with a little paraphrasing, right?
OK so I hear that Weazy basically said that this magazine is "RUINING HIP-HOP!" Wayne also added that all this mag has done is hurt his career [I'm a little confused on that one, but whatever]. And all this publication is doing is sucking his "d*ck right now."
It looks like Wayne is becoming apart of a growing group of artists, record executives and competing publications, that has no love for the magazine in question, or its owner.
But if that hasn't added insult to injury, then why am I also hearing that the music magazine lost its 25k deposit.
Now to be fair, I reached out to the editor-in-chief to try and ascertain a better understanding of the story. There's always two parts to a story [hell, eight parts if its gossip], so I really wanted to give them a chance to give me some indication that my information was bogus. But, true to form, I was played for a fool.
But hey, at least I didn't name any names, right?
But what I will say is that I had NO IDEA this mag was ballin' like that to be securing leer jets and ish. Damn!!!
Clearly for all of us who think that magazines are losing to the internet needs to set up consulting sessions with this publication to find out how they are doing it.
G....
[Editor's note: the magazine owner has responded saying this item is complete fiction and there is no truth to this rumor and the notion that there is beef between Wayne and said publication is completely untrue.]
