Lil Wayne doesn't seem to be welcome in Miami after comments he made about the Miami Heat during All-Star weekend in Houston back in February.

At the time Wayne said he smashed Miami Heat player Chris Bosh's wife. He then in some more jabs at the team.

"F*ck LeBron. F*ck She Wade. F*ck Chris Bosh. F**k all y'all," Wayne ranted.

Veteran Miami rapper Trick Daddy was not happy with the comments and found himself inside of King of Diamonds at the same time as the YMCMB CEO recently.

According to TMZ, Wayne started to get a bad vibe from Trick Daddy and decided to leave the club with Young Money President Mack Maine. As Wayne was exiting someone from Trick's crew allegedly threw a lit cigarette into Wayne's dreads.

Before any drama could pop off, KOD security separated the parties and Wayne left.

A member of Trick Daddy's crew told the Miami New Times that Da Mayor "sent Lil Wayne packing like a little b*tch."

However, King of Diamonds' Disco Rick denied that was the case. 

"Lil Wayne is KOD. Trick never made him leave," Rick said.

A spokesperson for the club told TMZ, "It's sad they had to revisit a situation that was Internet beef ... while surrounded by naked girls."

Check out pics of Lil Wayne at KOD's on the night of the incident below.

Cuban-American activists and Republican politicians have been up in arms since pictures surfaced of Jay-Z and Beyonce in Cuba celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary on April 4th.

Americans are prohibited from traveling to Cuba “unless authorized by a general or specific license.” The Treasury Department said B and Hov were licensed to travel to the country for an educational exchange.

Just as things were starting to quiet down, Jigga released a song this morning that raised some eyebrows.

“I turned Havana into Atlanta... Boy from the hood/ I got White House clearance... Obama said, 'Chill you gonna get me impeached/ You don’t need this sh*t anyway, chill with me on the beach', Jay raps in "Open Letter."

During a press conference today, Politico reporter Donovan Slack asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney whether President Obama gave Jay-Z and Beyonce special clearance, based on the song's lyrics.

"I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury. Because Treasury offers and gives licenses for travel, as you know, and the White House has nothing to do with it," Carney said. "I am absolutely saying that the White house from the President on down had nothing to do with anybody's travel to Cuba that is something that Treasury handles. It's a song, Donovan. The President did not communicate with Jay-Z over this trip."

STAR clears up the rumors about DJ Aliaz and Buc Wild being dead, Trick Daddy running Lil Wayne out of a Miami club, cursing out the cable company, failing as a parent and today's generation of Twitter snitches.

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.

Considered radio pioneers by many, Star & Buc Wild have set precedents on the urban landscape and were recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."

Star & Buc Wild made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 (2000 - 2003) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.

Star & Buc Wild's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat and shot97.com and VH1 (Reality Television).

This clip is from their LIVE show (12noon -- 2pm) on http://shot97.com.

With all of the controversy surrounding his popular song "U.O.E.N.O.," Rocko can't afford to let Rick Ross' date rape lyrics on the track derail it.

"The record instantly became a smash in the streets," he told Hot 97. "So with me, I feel like I'm a street artist so I feel like the record with Ross will always be the original record. But because of the type of attraction the record has, as far as ... radio and all over the country and things of that nature, it puts me in a position to where I have to change it."

Enter Wiz Khalifa. The Taylor Gang boss hops on the track with Rocko and Future in place of Ross. This could be the first of several remixes, but rest assured Ross won't be on any of them.

Charlamagne Tha God sat down with Vlad TV recently and spoke about Katt Williams.

"Katt Williams gonna die," Charlamagne said. "If Katt Williams does not change his ways. If Katt Williams does not start moving in a different route. Katt Williams is gonna end up in jail or dead because it's only but so many times somebody that's 4'11 and 90 pounds gonna keep trying people."

Katt heard about Charlamagne's comments and responded.

"You could say that about most of the black men I know and somehow be correct. Saying that somebody is gonna end up dead or something else is almost not even worth saying. I don't know anybody who didn't end up dead," said Katt. "The real question is, if he were to die would anyone care?"
