The video for B.o.B’s “Strange Clouds” dropped Monday morning and features the rapper rhyming with Lil Wayne in a field beneath a sky of – wait – strange clouds. Deep stuff right there. The song serves as the first single off B.o.B’s sophomore effort of the same name. He’s said that “Strange Clouds” could mean a variety of things from lacunosus clouds to unidentified flying objects to puffs of the most exotic of plants. Who better to lend guest vocals on that topic than Weezy? Peep the collaboration below: B.o.B – Strange Clouds (Ft. Lil Wayne)
While performing at a show in Hartford, Connecticut Drake aggressively addressed the rumors about him leaving Lil Wayne’s Young Money camp to join Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. He firmly denied the reports , and said the following onstage: “My brother Lil Wayne is all the way in Australia right now. But I know my camera’s on in the back, and I just want to let him know how much love me and Hartford got for him…” Well we guess that settles that.

Lil Wayne took to Twitter recently to deny rumors he got married to his Italian girlfriend Dhea. The rumors started when Dhea was spotted at Weezy’s daughter’s birthday party in Atlanta wearing a ring on her wedding finger. Lil Wayne is currently on tour in Australia but we spotted this tweet he sent during Thanksgiving: @LilTunechi Lil Wayne WEEZY F Most thankful for my family and friends. Eat up! Pause.

After Drake dumped his management team, it is now reported that he’s trying to leave Lil Wayne’s Young Money to join Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. If the rumors are true, it’s goin’ down! Drake was repped by Hip Hop Since 1976, the same team that manages Lil Wayne. Drizzy also detached himself from J Prince, the Houston executive who helped him link up with YMCMB, and parted ways with his agent ICM to join the William Morris Agency. This rumor sounds crazy since Drake has done so well with Young Money. But the tweet below from Lil Wayne makes it seem like he might be talking to Drake if this rumor is true, although why would Weezy be calling Drake “sweetheart?” Get the rest of the story at MTO .

While myself and many others couldn’t sleep until we heard Drake’s sophomore album Take Care, Lil Wayne had the patience and faith to wait until the project hit the shelves. “The first time Wayne listened to my album was last night” says Drake in an interview with Google Music. The reception to Take Care has been both sided, “I’m not the guy that would ever be able to make surface music with no substance. I think all my projects, hopefully, I’m working through some form of emotion because I think that’s what music is about. It’s about connecting and people being able to relate. In five years, I like people to view “Take Care” at that point as another point of consistency. Another over delivery on something people thought I was going to drop the ball on. I think every time I say I’m about to do something people are waiting for me to fumble. That’s probably one of the biggest motivations behind a lot my raps is the amount of people that want me to fall or whatever. I think that should be the motivation for most rappers.

Did Lil Wayne and girlfriend Dhea get married recently? Depends on who you ask … and how you define marriage. According to an extremely reliable anonymous snitch (now there’s a contradiction in terms) cited by Media Takeout , two weeks ago Lil Wayne and Dhea got married. Slow down, though. It’s being called a “non-traditional wedding ceremony.” The hell does that mean? A wedding for those who “don’t believe in the western marriage ideal.” Says the source of Weezy and Dhea, who got together after his release from prison, they made a commitment to “write the rules of their marriage as they go.” So, basically, they’re not married in any way, shape or form. There was an actual ceremony, though, and the source dishes that Dhea was given TWO wedding rings – one on her index finger in the Hebrew tradition and another on her ring finger in the Christian tradition. So … there’s that. Just don’t expect monogamy or any sort of legal commitment.
Nine times out of ten, people find themselves hating on the women that are able to take their breathtaking good looks and killer physiques and create careers around them. Regular chicks from around the way who are able to date outside of their tax brackets and use that as an opportunity for their own fame and abundance should be more empowering than it is deplorable. Here are five women whose hustles can’t be knocked and one honorable mention–who if she plays her cards right–will find herself swimming in Benjamins too. Catya Washington Cat and Drake had a serious thing. The two met on the set of Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” video and ended up living together, even labeling their relationship “love.” They let each other go when Cat decided to go on reality show trainwreck Bad Girls Club . Anyone who chooses that type of show is after a certain type of career and dating Drake definitely made her a bit more notable than the other no-name bad girls. According to her Twitter , Cat’s a radio personality, blogger, model and CEO. She’s even got a single out . Do your thing, Cat. Evelyn Lozada Once the fiance of Boston Celtics all-star Antoine Walker and now the wife-to-be to New England Patriot Chad Ochocinco, it’s clear that all Evelyn does is date up. From her patented “Non-Motherf*ckin’ Factor” T-shirts to her new lipstick line Secret Kisses to her six-figure Cash Money book deal, Evelyn’s taking her career straight to the top. Draya Michele This model and Basketball Wives LA star was previously linked to Chris Brown. Draya screams opportunist; in fact, she was caught abandoning her child on multiple occasions to secure her spot in Hollywood’s inner circles. How exactly did Draya land a spot on the Basketball Wives cast without being a wife and/or related to basketball? Well, Draya’s snagged herself a Dallas Maverick–Deshawn Stevenson–but we’re still waiting to see her make this opportunity work for her, literally. Hopefully, Deshawn can help Draya upgrade more than her finances. She needs a few parenting tips as well. Amber Rose Yeezy taught her well. The come up of all come-ups, Amber’s relationship with Kanye was the envy of many, and a real Cinderella story. Amber comes from a humble beginning and chose stripping as her bread and butter before landing one of the biggest rappers of our time. After the two split, Amber bounced around to a few of Hollywood’s elite, but ended up with freshman class rapper, Wiz Khalifa. Now, Amber’s a judge on Centric’s Master of the Mix and is in the studio working on her music. Kim Kardashian Kim hit the scene as Paris Hilton’s best friend, but then quickly (and surprisingly) gained fame as Ray J’s plaything on their sex tape. But before that, Kim walked down the aisle at age 20 with music producer, Damon Thomas. But they two split after four years. Considering her string of famous exes – Nick Lachey, Nick Cannon, Dallas Cowboy Miles Austin, Reggie Bush and now ex-husband #2, New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries – Kim’s love interests always seems to one-up each other. And her success is exponentially growing with no slowing down in sight. Kim’s got her outrageously successful reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, her DASH boutique, endorsement deals from Carl’s Jr. Balenciaga shoes and more, her ShoeDazzle website and the list goes on and on. Kim is by far the definition of dating up to boost your career. Honorable Mention: Dollicia Bryant Since explaining the importance of wearing red bottoms , this gorgeous video vixen has been all about elevating herself. Dollicia’s been linked to the likes of Miami Dolphin Reggie Bush, Jamie Foxx and Chris Brown. Her latest conquest? Rob Kardashian. But Dollicia, we’re still waiting to see what you do with your boyfriend upgrade. Heartbreak Drake: Where He Went Wrong In His Lyrics About “Love” 6 Reasons Why Rihanna Stays Winning
Lil Wayne has reportedly said goodbye to the single life and married his girlfriend in a secret ceremony. Sources are saying that Weezy decided to put a ring on Italian girlfriend Dhea after dating for less than a year, and they were wed in a “non-traditional ceremony” two weeks ago. The couple “don’t believe in the western marriage ideal” so are apparently making the rules up. Dhea was spotted at Weezy’s daughter’s birthday party over the weekend, and photos show she has two rings on her left hand. Sources reveal that Dhea has chosen to follow Christian tradition by wearing a ring on her wedding finger but also follow Hebrew tradition by wearing a ring on her index finger.

‘We just want to get a perfect point across,’ YMCMB captain tells MTV News of valuing art over sales. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Travis Laurendine Drake and Lil Wayne Photo: John Shearer/Wireimage While performing on Sunday night’s American Music Awards , Drake had a moment. The Young Money MC was in the middle of the second verse to his single “Headlines” when he switched up the lyrics to reflect the projected first-week success of his sophomore album, Take Care. “If we talkin’ bout the numbers/ Man, it look like 700, they know,” Drake rapped in response to the Billboard prediction that he will debut atop the albums chart this week with as many as 700,000 copies sold. However, if you let Young Money head honcho Lil Wayne tell it, the numbers are not as important as the cultural impact. “As far as expectations, we don’t have those around here. Expectations are a weakness in the music business because if you expect anything, 10 times out of 10 it’s not gonna happen, so we don’t have expectations around here,” Lil Wayne told MTV News on Friday when we caught up with him on a trip to New Orleans where, he gave out Thanksgiving Turkeys in his old neighborhood on Saturday. “What we do expect is … to work very hard and we expect people to respect our hard work and our effort,” Weezy continued. “Now as far going to buy the album, as far as going to get 750,000 copies, that’s never a problem with us; that’s never important to us.” In 2008, Wayne sold more than a million copies of Tha Carter III in its debut week. And this past August, he moved 960,000 units of Tha Carter IV in the first seven days of release, but the Louisiana rhyme animal is more concerned with his Young Money artists making their creative mark. “Pardon me for sounding however I sound with this statement, but we rich as sh–, so numbers and record sales that doesn’t matter to none of us,” he said. Take Care hit retail last Tuesday, but leaked several days prior. After it hit the Net early, Drizzy didn’t seem too concerned about how the leak would affect his bottom line. Instead, he invited fans to a digital listening party. “Listen, enjoy it, buy it if you like it…and take care until next time,” he tweeted . Songs like the Rick Ross-assisted, Just Blaze-produced “Lord Knows” quickly became a trending topic on Twitter. So far, the critical opinion to the LP has been fairly positive. The Toronto artist blends rap bars and R&B melodies with equal expertise on the album, and even if some find it too different at first, Wayne hopes that eventually everyone will come around and recognize Take Care as a great body of work. “We just want to get a perfect point across, a swell opinion across,” he said. “We want our opinion to be different from everybody else’s opinion, but so different and so great that everybody else joins that opinion. And if we get that done with the album, mission accomplished.” Share your reviews of Take Care in the comments below! Related Artists Drake Lil Wayne

The OWN network has been struggling to find a recipe for success since its launch in 2010. Oprah’s return to the screen comes after much speculation that the Queen of Daytime TV would have to use her own star power to boost the network’s lackluster ratings.
