We recently told you Wayniacs that Lil Wayne has picked up 3 nominations for MTV’s Video Music Awards, and now MTV has just confirmed that Weezy will be performing at the show as well! Right now, we don’t know what songs Tunechi will be performing at the show, but maybe he will perform a new track off his Tha Carter IV album because the album is set to drop at midnight after the VMAs go off. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28th at 9PM EST from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

“Being a nominee and performer on the VMAs once again is an honor because everyone doesn’t get that opportunity,” Wayne said in a statement. The event coincides with the August 29 release of his upcoming album. “Looking forward to performing on the show, and having Tha Carter IV drop the same week!”

After the jump, you can check out a few photos from a recent Lil Wayne photo shoot that could possibly be used for Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album booklet.

In the video above, you can see some footage of Lil Wayne rocking out to “Racks On Racks” live at the House Of Blues after party in New Orleans on April 15th. I wonder if Tune will do his own “Racks On Racks” remix”

Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and My Chemical Romance are going to be performing live on an NBC Carson Daly Special taking place this Thursday (December 16), in New York at 6:30PM. The show will air live on December 31st at 10PM. If you’re in NY this Thursday, then you can get some FREE tickets to watch the performance which is taking place on a roof top here! But you Wayniacs will have to hurry up, because there are only 500 tickets available and it’s first come, first served.

In other news, Tunechi is MTV News’ #5 Man Of The Year!

Two days ago, we posted a video of Drake confirming that Weezy did a verse to his “Light Up” track saying: “Lil Wayne recorded one of his greatest verses ever over the phone for my track with Jay-Z – Light Up” . Earlier today in the United Kingdom, Drake went on Ustream live to promote his upcoming album Thank Me Later and he also played Tunechi‘s phone call with the recorded verse on. Don’t forget that this is only a rip of a video from the phone recording, so the quality will not be the best until Drizzy releases it. You can check it out below:
