Earlier this year, Baby E chopped it up with TM NYC for a 1 hour and 30 minute virtual interview that you can watch in full below.

From the 33:10 mark, Baby E spoke about how he first linked up with Lil Wayne through a guy called Petey Lo and how he then got signed to Young Money. The Pensacola native was hesitant Petey really knew Wayne at first until the YM affiliate got Weezy on a Facetime call with E to say a quick message: “Is this real enough for you white boy?” LOL.

Baby E then discussed “Finessin’“, Tunechi‘s working process and witnessing him record more or less 20 songs every single day, Birdman, the best advice he ever received from Tune, his favorite collaboration with Mr. Carter being an unreleased song titled “Girls From The Hills“, and why and how he left Young Money. He also added: “it’s really sad to me we [himself and Lil Wayne] have so much great music that will never see the light of day”.

The former YM artist also confirmed he has wrote “a lot of stuff” for Lil Wayne and that Wayne does not move anywhere without a gun or blunt on him. Baby E then shared a story of how one time they were all on tour and they all threw away their drugs off the tour bus as they were arriving to a checkpoint, but left all of the machine guns!

According to TMZ, Lil Wayne has been accused of pulling out an assault rifle on one of his security guards during a fight at his mansion in Hidden Hills, California.

The bodyguard has told the police that the dispute all started when Tunechi claimed he had been taking pictures and leaking them to the media. He says Tune asked him to leave his house before then turning to physical violence and waving a gun at him, which resulted in the security guard going to the bathroom.

After the bodyguard had left Wayne‘s crib, he went to the guard booth and called the cops, but when they had arrived to the property, Mr. Carter had already left. Even though he had reported this incident to the police, the security guard does not want to press any charges. The cops are also questioning this story as the guard does not have any marks or injuries on his body.

Back in January of this year, Weezy was pardoned by then-U.S. president, Donald Trump, after he plead guilty to a federal weapons charge and was facing up to 10-years in jail!

UPDATE (04/01/2022): TMZ are now reporting that the bodyguard has changed his mind and does want to file charges against Lil Wayne for this.

For #ThrowbackThursday today, here is an interview Lil Wayne participated in with BLOW! magazine back in early 2006 to promote his Tha Carter II album.

Weezy spoke on his youth days of hanging around on Apple and Eagle Street in Hollygrove, accidentally shooting himself while playing with a gun and getting punished for it, how he first met Birdman and Slim, staying loyal to them, how Hurricane Katrina affected him, and more.

Also in the conversation, Tunechi showed off the first tattoos that he got inked on his body. You can check it all out in the #TBT video below, enjoy!

Pharrell Williams recently sat down with N.O.R.E. aka Noreaga and DJ EFN for an interview on the latest episode of their “Drink Champs” podcast.

At the 1:04:30 mark of their conversation, Pharrell shares a story of Lil Wayne taking him to a club in New Orleans, Louisiana one time that he says “was the most gangsta shit”. He mentions it was “white tee central” and all 3,000 people in attendance had a gun, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Later on around the 1:10:00 mark, the Virginia Beach music artist was asked about his thoughts on the Wayne vs. Pusha T beef and says it didn’t make him happy at all. You can check out Pharrell‘s full convo on “Drink Champs” below.

The YNT founder also revealed him and Tunechi had serious thoughts about leaving Cash Money and signing to either Diddy (Bad Boy) or Master P (No Limit), and told the story once again about how the two of them caught crabs (pubic lice) from two Houston sisters before Tune then passed them on to Antonia “Toya” Johnson!
