Source: Erika Goldring / Getty The A3C Festival concluded on Sunday (Oct. 7) but certainly not on the highest of notes. Lil Wayne ‘s headlining closing set was abruptly ended after chatter of gunshots or a gunman spread around the packed festival grounds in Atlanta. Local outlet WXIA reports: According to reports, Lil Wayne was about 5 songs into his set when pandemonium broke out. The performance served as a kind of comeback for Lil Wayne – his first since the release of “Tha Carter Five” in September. The rapper tweeted his well-wishes to concertgoers. But one man said everything was going fine until Lil Wayne hit the stage. “You have five different nationally-ranked artists perform – no problems,” he said. “Soon as this artist, the top-biller, Lil Wayne got on the stage, three or 4 minutes it start busting.” The mention of gunshots sent many attendees scrambling and some were injured in the process. Hip-Hop Wired was on the grounds of the Georgia Freight Depot but vacated before the ensuing stampede took place. According to research we’ve done with our contacts on the ground, there were no gunshots heard but the false alarm was enough to set folks into a panic. A3C organizers tweeted out a statement, which can be read below and right under Lil Wayne’s well-wishing tweet. Hope everyone at A3C is safe!! — Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) October 8, 2018 pic.twitter.com/Gm6ezcCPbi — #A3C18 (@A3C) October 8, 2018 — Photo: Getty

Also, he was recently in the hospital for OD’ing on Hot Cheetos. The rapper took to IG to update his fans about his tour and his trip to the ER. “I went to the hospital today,” he said in a clip posted yesterday (Sept. 24). “You know, getting ready to pack for this tour. i just want to let everybody know I was in the hospital — not due to any drugs — but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos and I guess it ripped something in my stomach open, so I puked a little blood.” What? We don’t have any words. [H/T HipHopDX ] — Photo: Getty
Source: Jordan Naylor / Getty Lil Wayne ‘s Tha Carter V is dropping on his birthday – September 27th. The news comes after numerous websites erroneously believed that the long-awaited album would be dropping last Friday, though no one from Young Money or Wayne himself confirmed the news. So Friday morning at 12:01 AM, expect plenty of Wayneheads to be shedding tears of joy. RELATED: Lil Wayne Is Back To Mixtape Weezy On Swizz Beatz’ “P.O.M.S.” [VIDEO] Tha Carter V marks a bit of history for Wayne. It’s the first release of his that won’t have the Cash Money imprint on it as he and Birdman settled their years long court feud. Wayne believed he was owed millions in unpaid royalties from the label, one he had called home since he was a teenager. Tha Carter V was originally announced in 2014 but has been delayed and stuck in perpetual limbo ever since. Wayne has released projects in the interim including last year’s well-received Dedication 6 and D6: Reloaded along with the joint album Collegrove with 2 Chainz . Watch his announcement video below.
Go Nakamura / ZUMA Press / Splash News Boston Shows America’s Greatness, No Thanks To Donald Trump Boston Police Chief: “99.9% of the people were here for the right reason, and that was to fight bigotry and hate” https://t.co/EVTqN7wNUh pic.twitter.com/T0zOI6mLEQ — BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) August 20, 2017 As we previously reported, the people of Boston showed up in the thousands to protest a “Free Speech” rally featuring right-wing speakers on Saturday. According to MSN reports , the number of protesters far outnumbered the few dozen rally attendees who showed up for what many feared could become another racist and violent showing like the one in Charlottesville last weekend. Thousands more protestors were prevented from entering Boston Common park by some 500 or so city police officers who placed barricades to stop vehicle entry while a cordon was also built around the site for the rally. Organizers of the Boston rally denounced the violence and white supremacist message of Charlottesville and promised peace at their event. “The point of this is to have political speech from across the spectrum, conservative, libertarian, centrist,” said Chris Hood, an 18-year-old Boston resident who stood among a crowd of a few dozen people who planned to join the Free Speech rally. “This is not about Nazis. If there were Nazis here, I’d be protesting against them.” Meanwhile, the people of Boston were NOT taking kindly to the Trump supporters on the scene Wow.Protestors surround two men in Trump gear and scream profanities, tell them to get the f*^% out of Boston. I asked one why he's here: pic.twitter.com/qRiTjhDXlj — Jessica Weiss (@jessweiss1) August 19, 2017 When two male rally participants wearing Trump’s red “Make America Great Again” campaign hats attempted tried entering the protest pen police set up to separate the two sides they were swarmed by black-clad protesters as the crowd screamed “go home” and “no hate” at them.

SMH. It’s hard to understand how anyone continues to support him. Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2017 Great job by all law enforcement officers and Boston Mayor @Marty_Walsh . — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2017 Our great country has been divided for decades. Sometimes you need protest in order to heal, & we will heal, & be stronger than ever before! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2017 I want to applaud the many protestors in Boston who are speaking out against bigotry and hate. Our country will soon come together as one! — Donald J.

XactpiX/Splash News/London ENT Future Responds To Jay Z’s Rap Radar Podcast Future is apparently still none too pleased with some of the bars Jay Z dropped on 4:44. As previously reported Hov was a guest on Elliott Wilson’s Rap Radar podcast and he dropped several gems including a quote about Kanye bringing Beyonce and kids into their beef. He also touched on that “Y’all holdin’ money to your ear, there’s a disconnect, we don’t call that money over here ” line that got Future and Lil Boosie BIG mad. According to Jay, he didn’t tell anyone not to use a “money phone”… “I didn’t even tell people to stop using the money phone,” said Hov. “I didn’t say that. I had to listen again like ‘How is this being misinterpreted?’ because I just said it ain’t money to us. It ain’t. That’s just an honest statement.” and he further explained that the inspo for the song came from himself and his wealthy friends who get money but don’t flaunt it. “That’s some corny s***” he told Elliot Wilson. “Money to us, me and my three friends on the floor at Golden State, not because the seats are expensive but because that’s what we’re doing, you’ve never seen that,” he said. “Or, building brands and pushing it forward. That can’t be the end all, that can’t be our goal, to get money and show it on the Internet. That can’t be our goal.” Future apparently caught wind of Jay’s interview and he had some things to get off his chest. “Same money u get we gettin too,” said the FreeBandz rapper. Same money u get we gettin too…

What you gonna do when you can’t say “no”? When the feelings start to show… Chris Brown And Rihanna Attended Jay-Z Barclays Center Concert Together Last night Twitter light up as word got around that Chris Brown and Rihanna were coupled up for the second night in a row , this time in the VIP section in the Barclays Center for Jay-Z’s fifth night of bringing down the house in Brooklyn. Elliott Wilson , the HNIC at RapRadar , set the internets ablaze when he sent out this tweet. Followed by this cozy lil’ shot. No reports of tongue-wrestling or bathroom chop downs so far. As you might have noticed, things haven’t exactly been rainbows and cotton candy on Karrueche’s timeline lately… Yesterday there was this. Then just about an hour before Robyn hooked up with Christopher there was the cyptic, yet appropriate… Do you believe that Rih-Rih really wants Chris back or is she just flexin’ because she knows Breezy still “wants to hit it in the worst way”?? Like Mya said: There’s no need to reminisce bout the past. Obviously because that sh!t did not last. I know how a woman will try to game you. Don’t get caught up because baby you’ll lose. Just food for thought… Image via Instagram
