Karen Civil and her Live Civil brand partnered up with Lil Wayne on Friday (December 18th) to help give over 500 students in Haiti a happier holiday season with a Christmas Giveaway.

The students were each gifted an outfit from Weezy‘s clothing line TRUKFIT, a Live Civil Thinking Cap from Karen Civil‘s partnership with New Era, a book from Scholastic Corporation, and also a surprise visit from professional boxer Andre Berto – who dressed up as Santa Claus.

DJ Scoob Doo, who is Lil Wayne‘s videographer aka the guy who stole everyone’s money from pre-ordering The Nino Brown Story 3 DVD a few years back, will launch a new website next week showing exclusive footage of Weezy working, so we can all witness his amazing work ethic that I am sure most of us already know about. The project is called “Bread Over Bed” and in the clip above, Tunechi talks about the concept behind it.

“There’s no quit, there’s no stopping, there’s no such thing as a break and the best part about it is there’s no reason why, the reason is you. The reason why I don’t stop is because of me, the reason why I don’t sleep is because of me, the reason why I don’t take breaks is because of me. I don’t have to. It’s natural.”

In other Wayne news, you can watch some footage of him at Macy’s store in Beverly Center in Los Angeles, California on June 1st with Stevie Williams launching the TRUKFIT and DGK clothing lines after the jump below!

Lil Wayne and professional skateboarder, Stevie Williams, have now launched their clothing lines in a popular department store in the US called Macy‘s. This means that you will now be able to purchase TRUKFIT and DGK apparel from Macy‘s stores, as well as from their online website. Weezy and Stevie both celebrated by making an in-store appearance at Macy‘s store in Beverly Center in Los Angeles, California on June 1st.

Brian and Eddie Boss from DFA, who are regular visitors of LilWayneHQ.com, also had the opportunity to meet Tune at the store on Friday. They said Wayne was really chilled out and in a good mood, which shows that he was excited about his clothing line getting sold in Macy‘s.

You can view plenty more photos of Stevie Williams and Tunechi, who was rocking an orange and black TRUKFIT hat, an orange TRUKFIT t-shirt, drawstring pants and a pair of orange and back Nike Dunks, after the jump below:

Bay Area-based streetwear company, REBEL8, has a big fan … and his name is Lil Wayne. So, when Weezy hit them asking for some more gear, they blessed him with a custom, one-of-a-kind R8 fitted.

“Although REBEL8 has been grinding it out for over six years, we are still a very small clothing label,” Joshy D., REBEL8 co-founder, told BallerStatus.com. “When someone of such fame and popularity as Lil Wayne shows interest in the REBEL8 brand, it’s just a beautiful thing. Someone in the top 1% reaching down and picking our brand to represent and wear feels f***ing amazing.”

The company took an off-the-shelf R8 Logo New Era cap and applied one of Mike Giant’s signature fonts under the brim of the cap, reading “Young Money”, the rapper’s label, which he’s been rocking at shows on his recent tour.

Joshy D. also made it clear, the company has never paid for a celebrity endorsement, so Weezy’s interest in the brand is all his own.

“When Lil Wayne rocks REBEL8, it shows me that one of the biggest artists in the world who can afford any brand out there, and gets approached by hundreds to be endorsed, genuinely loves it,” he added. “We have never paid any celeb or ANYONE for that matter to wear REBEL8. Our growth and success is completely organic. Lil Wayne chose us, not the other way around.”
