Lil Wayne has postponed his forthcoming European shows, expected to kick off in Paris on Thursday, due to illness.

The rap star was set to play seven dates in Europe over the next 10 days, including the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and two dates in London.

An official statement said the musician had been forced to cancel the concerts due to “doctor-mandated rest”.

“Lil Wayne extends an apology to his fans for the short notice of this postponement,” a statement said.

“But he looks forward to returning for the performances and visitation with his fans,” the statement continued.

Fans have been advised to hold on to their tickets and wait for details of revised dates.

The shows were due to take place in Paris, Roskilde, London, Amsterdam, Liege and Thurgau in Switzerland.

Shout outs to BBC and I was looking forward to Weezy coming over to the UK, but I guess it is what it is

Also, Young Money members such as Gudda Gudda, Jae Millz and Mack Maine are already in Paris after keeping everyone updated on Twitter, so I don’t know, but they might do something such as a little show or they might just use this as a vacation

I wasn’t going to post this, but I know a lot of peeps wanted it posted.

This is Drake’s official music video for his hit song “Best I Ever Had” which was directed by Kanye West. Young Money, Fabolous and Trey Songz make cameos, but unfortunately no Weezy

Don’t forget to leave a comment after you have watched the music video telling us your thoughts on it and I just got to say to Kanye – Very well done at the beginning

“To go independent is — like I said in a prior interview — it’s a funny term,” Drake told MTV News on Tuesday, addressing the deal that finds his albums being released on Wayne’s independent Young Money label (which is affiliated with Cash Money Records) and being distributed by the major Universal Republic. “Because it’s almost impossible to go fully independent. This was basically like the closest thing I could get to my own independence, to sort of continuing to be that guy to the fans that, you know, is trying to prove something — trying to prove that it can be done. So with that being said, I signed directly to Cortez Bryant and Gee Roberson, my two managers, and their company Inspire. It’s a joint venture with Young Money, so that’s the deal. I know there’s been a lot of stuff on the Internet about different entities, but that’s the people involved in the main record deal. And then it’s distributed through Universal, so it’s great, man. You know, if we can sell some records I think it could be a pretty legendary situation.”

Although Drake decided to stay with his managers (who also manage Lil Wayne), he said he loved the courting process.

“Well, the whole thing with me was, I met some great people along the way. Warner Music’s Lyor Cohen is such a special man to me, even though I am signed where I am signed at. You know, Interscope head Jimmy Iovine, same thing, a great person that taught me a lot in a very short period of time. But my loyalty lays with Wayne. For him to be able to benefit from the situation and for us to be able to brand Young Money, this is the route that I went.

“I plan to work with Wayne for the rest of my career so I think it’s a smart career move,” he added. “You know, everybody else on Young Money will hopefully work out the situations, get the right people on the album. I think it was important for me to show him that I believed in him as much as he believed in me. Because a lot of months he stuck his neck out there for me, you know with the VMAs, and then ‘Ransom,’ and all the songs that we put out. And the things he would say in interviews, he really put himself out there for me. So I think it was only just and fair to show him that I feel the same way.”

Shouts to MTV and I can’t believe how much Drake I am posting on this website now – But at least, this has something to do with Weezy

50 Cent just won’t give it a rest will he! In a interview with XXL, he now challenges Lil Wayne’s album success by saying “What does it mean that he has sold a million records?”. Check out what Fiddy said below talking to XXL:

“Well Em, I don’t even see Em in a category,” Fif explained in an interview. “Then Em’s number one and I’m number two. What does it mean that you sold a million albums? So you gonna forget I sold ten million records twice? 12 million first, ten million next, so what does that one million mean? What you’re talking about is who has a buzz. A buzz is a song, so the next song I release you feel could turn me into the hottest thing out here. If I’m showing you full capability, what makes you doubt that? There’s a cloud, there’s a respect that is well deserved on Jay-Z’s part because he’s had that cloud come over him and constantly work through it. Having so many projects come out and being successful and maintain being here, there’s a significance in that. Because the public goes after countless hit records, they say, ‘Think you can do it again?’ Ask me if you think he can do it again, hell yeah. ‘Cause he did it how many times in front of us?”
