A private early birthday party was set up for Lil Wayne at The Nice Guy restaurant in Los Angeles, California on September 25th to celebrate him turning the big 40-years-old.

Tunechi arrived to the birthday bash with his four kids and Dhea Sodano. Other members of Tune‘s family such as his mother Jacida Cater, and close friends like Skip Bayless, Shannon Sharpe, YG, Yella Beezy, Gudda Gudda, HoodyBaby, T-Streets, Mack Maine, Cortez Bryant, Allan Cubas, T@, Petey Lo, DJ Scoob Doo, Marcus Wiley, Emmanuel Acho, SpanishMike, Phillip Lopez, Yosef Ratleff, and Theotis Beasley also attended.

For Weezy‘s biggest surprise of the night, one of his favorite music artists of all time, Keith Sweat, came out to perform a few of his songs live. You can check out some footage from the party below, which shows everything that went down during the evening. I have also included a video showing many of Wayne‘s peers (Drake, Kanye West, Janet Jackson, NBA YoungBoy, Snoop Dogg, Barry Bonds, Floyd Mayweather, Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman, YG, Missy Elliott, 2 Chainz, Wyclef Jean, and DJ Khaled) wishing him a Happy Birthday!

Over the weekend, Lil Wayne hit up the studio with Wyclef Jean to work on some new music (see pictures above and below).

Similar to his recent studio session with Juelz Santana last week, Tunechi brought out his one of a kind Fender Jaguar guitar again.

Wyclef and Weezy have previously collaborated on “Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)” and “Operate On Me” in the past! Are you looking forward to hearing the new music they were working on?

The “Feature Friday” edition for this week is a freestyle from Nicki Minaj called “Higher Than A Kite” featuring a verse from her Young Money boss Lil Wayne.

This Jerry Duplessis, Sedeck Jean and Lil Wonda-co-produced song is a recording over T.I. and Wyclef Jean’s “My Swag” for the Barbie‘s mixtape, Sucka Free, which was released back in 2008.

“I do what I does, I come through this bitch wrist bluer than ‘cuz’; I’m so 5 Star, soo woo to the Bloods; And before I had a mirror, I knew who I was”

You can watch a “Higher Than A Kite” music video that was directed by Jordan Tower below. Click here to watch a documentary that also shows Nicki and Wayne recording their verses for this track!

They will join a host of hip-hop acts including Pharrell Williams, Chris Brown and Queen Latifah at the Black Entertainment TV (BET) two hour event ‘SOS Saving OurSelves – Help for Haiti‘, which will be broadcast live from Miami on February 5. The event will air on US TV channels MTV, VH1, BET and Centric at 8pm EST.

The group, which featured the rapper, his Haitian cousin Pras Michel and Lauryn Hill, split up in 1997. He told BBC Radio 1Xtra: “Everyone is doing different relief and when the time is right, the vibe is right, The Fugees should definitely contribute a single to go into Yele Haiti (Wyclef Jean’s charity). I think it would raise a lot of money.” The rapper helped actor George Clooney organise the previous ‘Hope For Haiti Now’ telethon and gig, which took place earlier this month. It has so far raised $66m (£42.1m), reports BBC News.

I wonder what song(s) Lil Wayne will perform… could it be a brand new song dedicated to the victims of Haiti ❓
