R&B singer Amerie recently updated fans on her “Heard ‘Em All” Lil Wayne collaboration and said his “disappearance” from the accompanying music video was partially due to his newborn child with Lauren London.

In addition to the video, Amerie also explained her respect for the self-proclaimed ‘Greatest Rapper Alive’.

“He definitely is [going to appear in the video],” Amerie told interviewer Lola Plaku. “We just have to do that shot, which we’ve been trying to do — and he just had a baby and he has another baby coming soon, we of course don’t know what day is going to be so [sighs] hopefully it goes — no I’m not going to say hopefully it goes down; it is going to go down…Lil Wayne is great. I’ve liked him since he was with Cash Money…I’ve always liked what he does, and I love his energy. For me it was just awesome working with him. Of course I like the stuff that he’s done recently as well, but he’s just really into the artistry. He’s really into being an artist and I think that’s awesome. Because sometimes people are into the life, but not into the art of it.” (SOHH)

I wasn’t going to post this up because there is no Lil Wayne in the video above, and it has been a quiet day for news and music. But even if he does make an appearance, then we can see what the music video is looking like.

Weezy isn’t even mentioned in the behind the scenes, so this makes me think that Wayne is only going to be making a cameo… unless they do two versions of the song like Birdman did with Always Strapped.

On another note, a Young Money song leaked today called “The Dungeon” with the artists Lil Twist, Tyga, Jae Millz and Gudda Gudda. So if you missed it, then you can check it out here.

So what are y’all thoughts on the video ❓ Do you think Wayne will be in the video for his verse or just a cameo ❓

Amerie talks about her new album In Love & War (Nov. 3), hooking up with Lil Wayne, working with L.A. Reid at Island Def Jam, and the concept for the “Heard ’Em All” video on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Props Rap-Up

The life of a baby maker is hard work, so when Amerie and Lil Wayne linked to shoot her latest video it had to be done in Los Angeles so he could be close to baby mama no. 3, Lauren London. The 24-year-old actress and the rapper welcomed a son Saturday night at Los Angeles’ Cedar Sinai Hospital.

“[When] we were doing the video they were ‘we have to figure it out because nature might take its course,” she told The BoomBox. “We were like ‘lets go to where nature might take its course [Los Angeles] so we can get a pick up shot in case he gets the call.” The video, which was shot earlier this month, is for the single ‘Heard Em All,’ off her upcoming album.

“He’s awesome,” she said of working with Wayne. “He’s always really, really nice. The first time I met him we were doing this event together and we were sitting in the stands. Our handlers were transporting us in the building or something, I just remember thinking ‘he’s really down to earth. He’s really cool.’ I’ve liked him ever since he was in Cash Money, in like ’97. He’s always had a lot of charisma.”

Amerie is gearing up for the release of her fourth album ‘Love & War,’ her first on Def Jam Records. “[I’m] very excited about [the new album],” she said. “I love my fans [and] I really hope they love this album. I feel like they will if they loved the first one and the second one.”

Shouts to TheBoomBox, and I wonder if they are shooting the video with Wayne‘s verse as we last heard that Weezy was only making a cameo.

BrownSista is reporting that Amerie is shooting a music video for her single “Heard ‘Em All” from her upcoming In Love & War album. You can see a picture above, and Lil Wayne is supposedly going to be making a cameo in the music video.
