Lil Wayne told MTV after he performed live at the end of the Video Music Awards on August 28th in Los Angeles that he is “glad” his Tha Carter IV album leaked to the net:

“We did real good this time, real good,” Wayne told MTV News correspondent Jim Cantiello after his show-closing performance at the VMAs in L.A. on Sunday. “It just means people want to hear it,” he said. “I mean, cause there are people’s albums that come out that can be leaked and don’t leak, so I’m glad mines leaked.”

Hit the jump to watch Weezy speak about his VMA performance, Drake introducing him and Nicki Minaj winning a Moonman from the same interview:

Lil Wayne‘s latest single off his Tha Carter IV album featuring Drake, “She Will“, has debuted at #3 on Billboard‘s Hot 100! This is Weezy‘s highest-ever opening rank on the chart, and it also marks Wayne‘s top 10 Hot 100 debut, pushing him past other male artists such as: Eminem and Kanye West. “She Will” is the fourth entry on the Hot 100 chart from Tune‘s C4 album too, as “6 Foot, 7 Foot” featuring Cory Gunz reached #9, “John” featuring Rick Ross reached #22, and “How To Love” reached #5.

Hit the jump to read who CMB are about to sign next to their label, and what Cortez Bryant (Wayne’s manager) and Birdman said to Rolling Stone on August 24h about how they have stopped Tunechi‘s Tha Carter IV album leaking so early like Tha Carter III did back in 2008.

“I think we’re lucky this time.” Bryant said of Wayne’s ninth album, which was officially set to premiere on iTunes at midnight on August 29th after his closing performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, and everywhere else that same day. “We held it until the last moment we could, and we didn’t send any songs or beats by e-mail – we used iChat, or a person had to get on a plane to share music…I’m knocking on wood before I get off the phone with you and it’s all over the Internet.”

Hours later, Tha Carter IV leaked. As fans sucked up bandwidth to download it, others wondered exactly what artists have to do to keep a hot album under wraps: Hotel studio sessions? Pelican briefcases? Biometric fingerprint detectors?

Wayne is no stranger to controversial rollouts: I Am Not a Human Being, released while the MC was still in prison, was a digital-only album for two weeks before CDs were let loose. Bryan “Birdman” Williams, CEO of Cash Money Records, says Wayne went the equal-opportunity route this time because those tactics “just piss everybody off. This is one of the biggest releases of the year, and we wanted to make sure that everybody got to play their part at the same time.”

Cash Money delivered Carter IV to Universal about 10 days in advance, which Williams says was necessary to press the two million units being shipped in its first week. “The goal is to sell a million-plus copies,” he explains. Although that’s likely what led to Carter IV breaking free, Williams says he’s actually OK with leaks, to a point. “I can deal with it for short period of time,” he says. It’s when you have a leak out for a long time that it’s crazy.”

In Cash Money news, the label are about to sign an internationally known pop group, who go by the name of Savvy:

Cash Money Records will expand the roster next week when they officially welcome the first pop group to their label. Internationally known pop band Savvy has inked a deal with Cash Money Records.

Savvy, the label’s latest acquisition, is an internationally known six–member teen band that’s featured in the international TV show “The Wannabes,” which will premiere in North America on September 5th on Starz Kids & Family. The group will be introduced to North America via their upcoming debut album for Cash Money Records.

This Monday (August 29th), Cash Money’s CEO’s, Bryan “Birdman” Williams and his brother, Co-CEO Ronald “Slim” Williams, will be on hand to welcome the group to Cash Money Records. The brothers will preside over a swanky event at 11:00 AM at The Montage Hotel, which is located in Beverly Hills. – AHH

Check out the two tweets above from Just Blaze (a producer) which I swiped from Nah Right! It looks like Lil Wayne was in the studio all night with Eminem yesterday creating some magic for Em‘s upcoming 2010 album – Relapse 2.

In other news, DJBMURDER from our forums received Lil Wayne‘s Rebirth in the post this morning from Amazon. This is a major big fail from Amazon, because Rebirth is supposedly going to leak any minute and there is still a month and 18 days until the album hits the stores. For proof, check out some pictures below:

I’m not sure what will happen now, but I do think the best option is to move Rebirth back to the December 21st date… Amazon are so fucked though!

QD3‘s Lil Wayne “The Carter” Documentary has finally been released, and if you didn’t order a copy yet, you can order one from TheCarterDoc.com. In the above video, you can see the first 10 minutes of the documentary were Weezy and Cortez Bryant speak about shooting himself, Hollygrove New Orleans, The Carter III bootleg, and much more.

Hit the jump to see an unreleased studio session of Lil Wayne recording a song (the “Flower” one) for “The Carter” documentary. He then later talks about expanding and improving his music:

Two months after being signed to Young Money Entertainment, Omarion has been dropped from the record company. Mack Maine tweeted this message on his Twitter which reveals that Omarion is fired because he has allegedly leaked his duet song with Lil Wayne.

“ATTN: Omarion is no longer Young Money … the song they leaked ft. Wayne is not official .. good luck 2 him in his future”.

Shortly after that, two of the Young Money‘s artists Jae Millz and Lil Twist re-tweeted Mack‘s message to show that it is not a rumor.

I really don’t know what to think of this, but it does serve him right for leaking a song as I’m sure rule #1 when you sign a YME contract is to never leak songs. Also O should of known better about this, because look what happened to Kidd Kidd
