Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne almost let loose over the weekend in Las Vegas after bugging out over a thrown water bottle following the publicized Floyd Mayweather, Jr. boxing match.
Footage of Weezy F. Baby getting into an altercation with a trainer has surfaced online.
Lil Wayne tried to FIGHT Marcos Maidana‘s trainer … moments after the Mayweather fight … and sources close to the situation tell TMZ Sports it was all over a flying water bottle. Wayne — who was part of Floyd Mayweather’s entourage — was leaving the ring at the MGM Grand when in the chaos that ensued following the fight, someone threw a bottle that struck the rapper on the shoulder.

Fortunately one of Wayne’s own crew members managed to hold him back.
We’re told … Wayne believed the bottle-thrower was a member of Maidana’s entourage (the fighter’s trainer) — who was following close behind — and Weezy immediately tried to confront the guy to fight it out. You can see in the video … a member of Wayne’s entourage grabbed the rapper and kept him from getting into it … though it’s clear, Weezy was heated. At one point, you can hear Wayne scream at Maidana’s camp, “Let’s GO, n***a!” (TMZ)
Prior to the incident, Wayne accompanied Mayweather to the ring for his scheduled bout.

Also over the weekend, Wayne’s new “Believe Me” song premiered across the Internet.
Rapping over a hypnotic synth line with production by Boi-1da and Vinylz, Lil Wayne is joined on the track by his Young Money associate Drake, who opens with a note of appreciation for “the man that put me in this sh*t.” Tha Carter V is due out sometime in May (possibly on the 5th), and Lil Wayne has declared that it will be his final solo album.
