Last night, Reginae Carter had a Cinderella-themed birthday party in Atlanta to celebrate turning 13. People who attended the party were: Lil Wayne, Toya Wright, Weezy’s girlfriend Dhea, Weezy’s little brother Semaj, Weezy’s mother Cita, Birdman, Slim, Ceelow, Mack Maine, Birdman’s daughter Bria, T.I., Tiny, Memphitz, Nivea, Sarah Vivan, and more. You can view plenty of photos after the jump, as well as a video of Reginae‘s entrance with her father Tunechi and her mother Toya.

During a radio interview with Hot 97′s Angie Martinez in March, Lil Wayne said he’s walking away at 35. Then Weezy switched up, telling XXL that he would be gone by 31. Now Lil Tunechi tells MTV that he isn’t sure when exactly he will walk away from rap.

“I’m not sure; I’m not gonna Brett Favre y’all,” Wayne said referring to the former Green Bay Packers quarterback who finally handed the NFL his walking papers in January after years of talking about it. “I’m not gonna draw it all the way out the whole year: ‘We wondering, is Wayne gonna do this?’ But the honest answer is I don’t know.”

“I’m so settled in my life right now,” he told us. “I have my kids; they’re wonderful. My daughter has her career ahead of her now. I have to focus on that, and I have to put the same focus that I put in my career. … I want to become a better father, I want to become a better man to my woman, and those things take time. and time takes away from this. So the honest answer to that retirement question is, I don’t know. Maybe so.”

Here, we have an excerpt from XXL Magazine‘s interview with Lil Wayne for their July/August 2011 issue that will be on newsstands tomorrow (July 12th), and some pics from their photo shoot! You can view the photos below, along with the excerpt were Weezy talks about celebrating with the Mavericks, Tha Carter IV, writing, being a father, and retiring.

Here at Miami’s Hit Factory recording studio, where the Young Money rapper is chilling with his crew, everybody cracks up as a camera-phone photo is passed around the room. The picture is of Lil Wayne, who bursts out laughing himself.

Taken last night, Sunday, June 12, the picture shows the international rap superstar and Young Money Entertainment owner standing with one hand on his hip and the other around the NBA’s Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy—which had just been won by Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks, with whom he happened to be partying in celebration at Club Liv in Miami Beach.

“We had fun,” says Wayne of his night with Dirk and Jason Kidd and Jason Terry and team owner Mark Cuban, who brought the trophy to the club. “Y’all know I’m a Laker fan. They knocked my Lakers out pretty terribly. So, you know, I’m coming from the old school. I’m old-fashioned. Can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Before the postseason, people ask you, ‘Who you pick?’ I picked the Lakers. When your team loses, they say, ‘Who you pick?’ You pick the team that beat your team. That’s who I’d picked. I had picked Dallas in six. They did that. And like I said, they were in the club last night. We chilled. We had fun with Dirk. We did. We kicked it with Mark. The trophy came around a few times to our section. We took a few pictures with it, you know, all in fun. Everybody just had fun, enjoyed themselves.”

Wayne, who moved to Miami from his hometown, New Orleans, six years ago, has had The Hit Factory booked out for his Young Money/Cash Money family since November, and as usual, he can’t wait to record. The long-delayed, hugely anticipated sequel to 2008’s three-million-selling Tha Carter III is finally in the can—with beats from the likes of Bangladesh, Polow Da Don, Swizz Beatz and Boi-1da; features from Busta Rhymes, Bun B, will.i.am, Cee Lo, John Legend, Tech N9ne and, of course, Wayne’s Young Money crew; plus an album-closing posse cut with Shyne, Jadakiss and Nas. But Tha Carter IV won’t be in stores ’til August, so tonight the tatted-up MC is focused on a mixtape, Sorry 4 the Wait, that he will release in the meantime. He’s three songs in and wants to record two more tonight. But it’s a hectic atmosphere at the studio. Besides T-Streets, Cash Money owners Baby and Slim, Wayne’s managers Cortez Bryant and Gee Roberson, and various other staff and support, All-Pro Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has stopped in to show love, along with rising Oakland rapper Lil B, who arrives—wearing a YMCMB sweatshirt—with the teenage Young Money rep Lil Twist and the company president, Mack Maine.

“It’s amazing, man,” Lil B says about the experience of working with Young Money. “I got love for Mack and the whole crew. It’s an amazing boost of confidence. Respecting them for so long and them being such a big influence, like, Birdman and stuff. This is…man, a movie. You put everything in perspective. It’s amazing. This is history.”

XXL: Tha Carter IV is coming this summer. It’s probably the most anticipated album since Tha Carter III. It’s all wrapped up now?

Lil Wayne: Yeah, it is. I’m just chillin’ right now. Partyin’ with the Dallas Mavericks, and shit like that. Ain’t really doing too much right now.

How do you know when an album is done? When to stop?

You don’t. When they tell you. When ’Tez call me and tell me and say, “You got such and such date is your deadline to stop,” I be like, “Aight.” ’Cause I never stop recording, obviously. So it’s just on him to say, “Okay, stop. We’re gonna pick these songs, and that’s the album.” That’s how we do it.

I remember, before you went to prison, there was talk about there being a version of Tha Carter IV that was finished, that was going to be released the day you came home in November. Obviously, that never came out, and you’ve been recording a whole new version of the album since then. What’s going on with all of the old songs that you had?

We still think some of them deserve to be heard. So I revise ’em and go and touch ’em, see what I can do to make them better songs. And if that works, once I do that, we’ll use it. If not… Another thing what usually happens is, I usually listen to the song and be like, “Yeah, that’s too old. I don’t like that no more.” And Mack or another one of my artists will be like, “Nigga, you trippin’! Can I have it?” And it becomes their song. And other than that, the only other thing that happens is it ends up on my iPad, and I just listen to it forever. Y’all don’t hear it. [Laughs] A couple females hear it.

So now that the album’s done, artistically, the new songs, what can we expect? I know it’s really, like, no boundaries with you.

Yeah. Like I told somebody the other day, I’m not a situation rapper. I don’t make songs. Like, a lot of people go, “I make a song about this, what happened.” Perfect example, perfect song: Kanye’s “All of the Lights.” It’s a great song, but if you listen to the verses, he’s talking about some situation. I don’t know if he made the situation up; he may be talking about a situation we know about. I don’t know how to do that. I’m not a situation rapper. I can’t really speak about us sitting in this room right now, because my mind… I got ADD, I guess. When it’s time for me to create, I can’t sit and think about… After I think of one line, my mind done went to another subject.

I believe that people enjoy that about me. So that’s all you’re gonna get when you hear Tha Carter IV is just more of me. And like I told somebody, when I was tellin’ ’em about this, I told ’em I don’t have to be a situation rapper, which I would love to be. I would love to tell stories like Biggie. But I just don’t know how, ’cause my mind just… I’m here and there, everywhere with my music and with my thoughts period.

What is good about me is that I’m an interesting muthafucka. I’m Dwayne Michael Carter period! Whether I’m a rapper or not, I’m interesting. And that’s what my album’s gonna be about: me and how interesting I am.

I know you picked up the pen and pad again while you were away. Did you pull a T.I. and actually physically write out the new album before recording?

No, no. I mean, I was only writing when I was locked up. And I came home and I used most of the stuff that I wrote that was able to be used. But, of course, some of the stuff that I was thinking in there was without hearing what was going on out here. So when you apply them thoughts to what’s actually going on, that shit sound crazy. [Laughs] So I scratched a lot of that. But, nah, I ain’t writing. [Laughs] I’m writing phone numbers down… Business phone numbers! I ain’t mean no female phone numbers! I got a girl, ya dig! She’s 12. Her name is Reginae. Go ’head.

Your daughter, you mean. It must be good to come home and get to spend more time with your kids.

I’m bowing out gracefully, too. I’m bowing out still on top. I’ma make y’all want me when I retire. I’ma make y’all be like, “Nooo!”

I ain’t leaving out this bitch when y’all be like, “Yeah, it’s about time, dawg.” Carter IV might be my last one. I’ma make y’all be like, “Fuck!” Yeah, nigga, I’m gone.

Nah, man, you know they ain’t gonna let you leave.

Nigga, I’m about to be 30 years old. I’m 28. I’m not about to be rapping at 30. You trippin’, shawty.

Do you remember, last time we talked, in this same studio, you said you were gonna do six more albums? Six Carter albums?

Yeah, I was gonna do six. I went to jail, nigga! Shit fucked—man, Carter IV would’ve been out! Nigga, we would’ve been talking about what we were gonna do about Carter V. Next year, bam, Carter VI would’ve been out, when I’m 30. Bam! We had that shit planned out… [Laughs] I’m fuckin’ wit’ y’all, man. Y’all know a nigga ain’t going nowhere ’til he ’bout 31. By 31—I’m gone by 31, shawty.

Thirty-one? I don’t believe that, man. Mack and them are not gonna let you hang it up. I see Baby still doing it.

Well, I’m not Baby. [Laughs]

Honestly, this is the real truth. I honestly think it’s unfair to my kids. I’m super dedicated into what I do. Like, it’s no questions—it’s hands down, I do this. I live this. I don’t have a day out my week that I do something else. I do this every day of my life, and I’m not about to stop, ’cause that’s the only way you can succeed in this business, is to do it the way I do it. I want to succeed the way I want to succeed. You can succeed. You can put out a hit… But to do it the way I want to do it, to be comfortable to do what the fuck I want to do, you’ve got to work like no other. Like I said, it’s unfair to my kids. So about 30, 31, 32, I gotta get ready. I got three boys and one daughter. She’s gonna be a teenager, and they gonna be growing. They gonna be five or six. It’s time to get them. Let them niggas know what being a man is about, what being a little boy is about. I’m not trying to have no nanny do that or no uncle or no shit like that. No stepdad or no shit like that. I was raised like, Don’t let no other man take care of yours. Even if you gotta take the sacrifice of quitting what you love the most. Like I said, I’m finished at about 31, 32. That’s it, shawty.

“I’m not on child support with none of my kids cause I’m a great father. So it’s not determined by how much money you’re paying at all. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about being there and being that important person in their lives. It’s about being #1 or #2 in their life. That’s very important for your child, to make sure you’re that #1 or #2. Because if you’re not, you know what #1 or #2 could end up being. That’s the most important thing of all. I just try to make sure I’m of the highest importance in their lives, next to their moms.”

Lil Wayne and producers get sued for Tha Carter III single, “Lollipop”:

Young Money CEO, Lil Wayne has been slapped with yet another lawsuit surrounding his 2008 hit Hip Hop music single “Lollipop“.

Philadelphia rapper Dirahn Gilliams filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Friday April 30th for Work ID: 371875615 which is listed with ASCAP. Gilliams is claiming that the song “Lollipop” was based on his 2007 song “Grindin’ Like a Goon”.

Lil Wayne, producer Darius “Deezle” Harrison, James “Jim Jonsin” Scheffer, Rex Zamor, Cash Money, Young Money and Universal have all been named in the lawsuit.

In April 2007, Gilliams sent out a copy of his song to Flo Rida, Brisco, executive Kevon Glickmon, and producers Deezle and Jim Jonsin claiming Young Money received the copy from one of these entities though Flo Rida and Glickman were not mentioned in the lawsuit.

Gilliams is accusing Wayne and Jim Jonsin for illegally using portions of his song for “Lollipop” in 2008.

Jonsin and Deezle are both suing Lil Wayne as well, making the situation more complicated.

Gilliams is seeking to prevent further sales of Tha Carter III and “Lollipop“, not counting monetary damages, lost profits, actual damages, restitution and compensatory and punitive damages that he is suing for. – HipHopRX

Lil Wayne covers the front of Ozone Magazine‘s “Sex Issue” which will be hitting newsstands soon. You can see the front cover above, and also read a few excerpts from the issue below. Weezy talks about his relationship with Shanell, The Carter Documentary, baby mama’s, personal life, respecting women, and more.

There was some controversy over the release of The Carter documentary. Did you feel like they emphasized the drug addiction aspect too much? Is that the reason you didn’t want it released?
The fact that we didn’t want it released was business; paperwork. I feel like, if I agreed to have that camera around me, then I can’t tell that person what to edit when they go to the editing room, unless I am in the editing room and editing with them. If I’m not then I shouldn’t complain, but I was supposed to have a say-so because I had to approve it. And that was the whole [problem]. I didn’t approve it and they still put it out.

So you weren’t happy with the creative aspect or the business or both?
It was some of both. There were females on there with me and sh*t, you know? Why give them some shine when I’ve got baby mothers? I believe as an editor or whatever, as a person associated with me, if you want to become a real business partner with me I believe you should consider things like that. I shouldn’t have to be the one to consider it.

On whether he considers himself a good father and child support:
I’m not on child support with none of my kids cause I’m a great father. So it’s not determined by how much money you’re paying at all. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about being there and being that important person in their lives. It’s about being #1 or #2 in their life. That’s very important for your child, to make sure you’re that #1 or #2. Because if you’re not, you know what #1 or #2 could end up being. That’s the most important thing of all. I just try to make sure I’m of the highest importance in their lives, next to their moms.

On respecting woman but still calling them hoes and bitches in his songs:
There’s two answers to that. One is – there are bitches. There are hoes. There are ladies. There are women. There are girls. Pick which side you’re on. When somebody’s saying something about “bitches,” if they didn’t say “Julia is a bitch,” if it doesn’t apply to you then it doesn’t apply to you. The second answer is, you’d have to be a woman who’s met me to know if I believe you’re a bitch or a hoe or whatever.

You worked with Shanell a lot on the Rebirth album. Was it more of a musical connection at first and then became more personal, or vice versa?
Since when did it become a personal thing?

I don’t know. I thought y’all were an item?
That’s a rumor, sweetheart. No, it’s never been a personal thing. As far as us being friends, yeah. That’s my friend. Shanell is a great artist and that’s it, period. She’s a Young Money great artist. I heard a rumor that she was pregnant from me. How could that be? We’ve never had sex. How could she be pregnant from me? You’ve got to have sex to be pregnant. That’s one of the things you have to do. I don’t understand how people’s brains work. You know? I’m a really big person. I’m a real superstar. I’m not afraid to tell you or nobody else, you know? I die every week [according to the rumors]. I’m in jail right now [according to the rumors].

So the intrusion into your personal life bothers you?
No, it bothers you, because you have to actually think if it’s true or not and come sit down and ask this dumb ass shit. I know you have to feel stupid, because it’s like me sitting here and looking at your [brown] hair and asking you, “Since you dyed your hair green, how do you feel?” Your hair obviously isn’t green.

Your tweets are mostly about love. Is that your mentality at the moment?
I asked Twist when I got on Twitter, “What am I supposed to do?” He said, “You’re supposed to say what you’re thinkin’.” That’s what I be thinkin’.

Is love what you think about all the time? Or just right now?
Right now. I think about the moment, but my thoughts usually last for days and lifetimes.

I know you’re generally not too concerned about the critics, but you did get a lot of flak for the four baby mamas.
I don’t think what people think should be any concern of anybody’s. It’s definitely not a concern of mine. I’d be crazy if it was and you’re crazy if you are.

I think people translate “he has four baby mamas” as “he disrespects women.”
But that goes back to me not caring about what people think or say. They wanna be [baby mama] number five, six, and seven, so…

Did you go through a phase where you were, um… wanting to spread your seed? Or was it just the way things happened?
You’d have to be a woman that’s with me to know what phase I was going through. If I was to answer that question for you or for the world or for this magazine, then I’d be the dumbest nigga on the planet.

How are you able to have several baby mothers and they all appear to get along pretty well?
That’s another answer that’s none of your concern. Shouldn’t be.

Fair enough. Too personal with the questions?
You did your job and I did mine.

Above is the official music video for Trae‘s “Inkredible” single featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross from Trae‘s Tha Truth album, dropping later this year. You might be thinking that we have already posted this video fifteen days ago on LilWayneHQ, but that video is the censored and clean version. This means that the video above does not censor and blur out parts like when Wayne and Mack make gun signs, and the audio type is dirty. The music video above is also the highest quality version available to watch online.

Lil Wayne‘s ex-wife Antonia Carter is on the cover of the latest issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine. She dishes the dirt on everything from how Wayne proposed to her and her true thoughts on Nivea and Lauren London.

Here are a few summaries and spoilers from the article:

• He proposed to her twice. The first time, she didnt accept while the second time she accepted after seeing that huge engagement ring… FYI: he was dating R&B singer Nivea when he proposed to Toya

• Nivea and Toya are really cool. She describes Nivea as loving and sweet as well as the only woman that she will allow Wayne to take around their daughter Reginae. She dished that Nivea often calls and text messages regularly to check on Toya and her daughter.

• She would not comment much on Lauren London, but from the tone of her responses, she does not like Ms. London… in fact, rumor has it that Wayne is waiting on a paternity test to see if the baby is even his.

Shouts to Evolution Of Dorianb and the S2S magazine is on stands now!
