Young Money leader Lil Wayne reportedly requires over $100,000 for interested club promoters and has specific pricey demands.
Details of Wayne’s $110,000, 15-minute club appearance price landed online this week.
We got a hold of Weezy’s contract and rider for his upcoming club gigs. In addition to the loot, he demands an artist section big enough for Wayne’s 20-plus entourage, stocked with 10 bottles of Dom Perignon, 5 Cirocs and 3 D’usse bottles at least 10 minutes prior to his arrival. And with a history of being shot at, it’s no surprise he demands 2 security guards on either end of his booth. (TMZ)
Last month, Wayne let clubgoers down over security measures in Minnesota.
The Venue on First Avenue said on its website that several members of the rapper’s entourage refused to submit to patdowns and metal detectors and provide identification before entering the club ahead of Sunday night’s show. The club called the checks “standard safety procedures.” Lil Wayne was allowed in but ultimately decided not to perform, the club said. (Page Six)
Wayne kept busy last month by going after Cash Money boss Birdman claiming he could cost him Young Money’s Nicki Minaj and Drake.
Lil Wayne filed new docs in his bitter lawsuit trying to oust Birdman from Young Money, the label that signed Nicki and Drake. Wayne says Birdman and Cash Money have grossly mismanaged the company by stiffing lots of people who are owed money, failing to fork over profits and lots of other stuff. Wayne claims the mismanagement is so bad that Nicki and Drake will probably just jump ship. (TMZ)
Last winter, Cash Money rapper Nicki Minaj said the war between mentor Lil Wayne and Baby had a lot to do with music coming out.
“Cash Money is blessed, thank you for asking. We are a family and just like in families, we have our moments. But, you know what, I’ve gotten so much closer to Wayne lately. Wayne is his own person. He’s a businessman and whatever decision Wayne makes, I would never in my life speak against it publicly, even if I didn’t agree. So my thing is, and Baby has always been one of my best friends in the game. They love each other and it’s family. It’ll never go to another level. Everybody loves to hype things up but artists are emotional. We are emotional when it comes to our projects and when it comes to our fans and what our fans want and when they want it and sometimes that causes us to, you know, act emotional.” (Power 106 FM)
