Bun B has been friends with Lil Wayne since he was a teenager. The Houston legend said having Wayne out of the music game for a year will be a greater loss than people are realizing.
"I feel bad, because I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army," Bun B said. " ... Let's just keep it real: Lil' Wayne is not just the biggest rapper, Lil Wayne is the biggest pop star right now. Maybe Susan Boyle is on his level. But when you talk about music, nine times out of 10, Lil Wayne's name is gonna come into the conversation. I feel bad for any brother or any sister that's gotta go to jail. I feel especially bad for a person like Lil Wayne who's really riding the wave right now. But he don't have a lot of time. He's doing it on the Island. As wild and as ill as the Island is, I think at the same time, he'll be all right. When you in that state jail and you dealing with those lifers, you got a lot of other issues at hand."
While in jail, Wayne should just focus on serving his time productively and not worry about fellow inmates, Bun said. , Wayne should just focus on serving his time productively and not worry about fellow inmates, Bun said.
"I don't think it will be smart for him to go to general population," he said. "A person like Lil Wayne doesn't have to prove anything to anybody in general population exposing themselves to that yard. It's not about being real. It's too many people who have way too much to gain, and [there is] so much he could lose by trying to prove something. ... That's nota good look. ... It's a little bit different when a person like Lil Wayne goes to jail. All we can do is pray for him. Pray for his spirit."
Bun, who championed his late musical brother Pimp C years ago when Pimp was in prison, said he admires the attitude Wayne's musical family has in this tough time.
"I just left Miami. People [were] trying to keep their heads up and sprits up while the young man was around, but they are hurting," Bun said. "One thing I noticed from the Young Money camp is that they're not being down because of their careers and they're worried about a co-sign. They are worried about a friend. That's what I see from Drake, Nicki, Stunna. ... These people are concerned about a friend going to prison."

Last we reported about the launch of Birdman's energy/oil business Bronald, which he actually founded a few years back with his brother Slim.
To honor the company, the CEO/rapper tatted it's logo on the side of his head.
Then, just last month, major publications (Bloomberg being one) began to question the legitmacy of Bronald Oil & Gas, interviewing major energy companies in the areas Birdman was said to be doing biz. Come to find out, nobody ever heard of them, nor did it seem that any oil biz was actually being done, despite Birdman claiming that he's been making "good money off that."
Whatever the situation is, Birdman isn't repping Bronald Oil & Gas any longer ... well, at least, on the side of his head.
These pics popped up on the Internet recently, displaying some of Stunna's new tatts -- three new red stars on the right, left and back of his head to accompany the one he already had on top.

Lil Wayne just announced that Cory Gunz has signed to Young Money.
This is a great addition to what is already a very strong list of artists on the label.
Cory with his spit fire rhymes and sick lyrics should be a top priority. While many fans await Drake's debut disc, Cory shouldn't be far behind.

NEW YORK (AP) — Lil Wayne has been sentenced to a year in jail after pleading guilty in a New York City gun case.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper was taken away in handcuffs Tuesday to start serving his term immediately after his sentencing. He pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and admitted having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007.
.
He paused momentarily before leaving and nodded to Cash Money execs Birdman and Slim, who were present in the courtroom. Just like that, Wayne was goneHe'll serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison. He could be released in about eight months with good behavior.
Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, has been one of rap's most prolific and profitable figures in recent years. His Tha Carter III was the best-selling album of 2008. His sentencing was postponed last month so he could undergo surgery on his bejeweled teeth.

This Week's Main Pick
Street King: Tyga
Holding It Down For: Young Money
Mixtape: Black Thoughts
Real Spit: This tape has nothing to do with the Legendary Roots Crew's lead MC — it's all about Young Money's West Coast rebel Tyga.
"Basically, I named the mixtape Black Thoughts because when you think of the word 'black,' you think of great, confidence, individuality. I feel like the music is solid. I'm a solid individual. The music is solid. We put 'thoughts' behind it because basically all the music is things I think about, things people think about doing, things I've thought about doing or I've done. I put it all together and made Black Thoughts."

Nicki Minaj's latest string of guest appearances have garnered her plenty of attention — actress Michelle Trachtenberg even posted a vlog of herself singing Nick's verse to Robin Thicke's "Shakin' it 4 Daddy." The blogs are also buzzing about her verse (and Freddy Krueger look) in the Ludacris "My Chick Bad" video, as well as her appearance in the Mariah Carey "Up Out My Face" clip.
Will these famous collaborators return the favor and jump on Minaj's debut LP?
Lil Wayne may have an impending jail sentence, but in recent days some news about the MC has set the Internet chatter ablaze: Does he have another baby on the way?
The Cash Money MC has been spotted attending events and snuggling with a new artist on his Young Money label named Shanell. The Massachusetts-born/Atlanta-raised songstress (real name: Shanell Woodgett), sister of former Danity Kane member D. Woods, began as a background dancer for artists like Kandi Burress, Petey Pablo and Ne-Yo before deciding to write songs. Teaming with her high school friend and producer Bangladesh, Shanell recorded a demo tape and aimed to become an artist herself along with writing for other people. She met Wayne while serving as a back-up dancer for Ne-Yo during the Up Close and Personal Tour (which featured the rapper along with Chris Brown) and eventually passed the rapper Bangladesh's beat for "A Milli," which became a huge street hit for the Young Money leader. Soon after, Shanell joined Lil Wayne's artist enclave and began recording, touring and performing her single "Play in My Band" as well as co-writing songs for Wayne.
Now, as she preps her as-yet-untitled debut album, Shanell said the rumors about whether she's dating Lil Wayne have run rampant but have no basis in reality.
"Basically it came from a corny rumor that escalated," Shanell told MTV News. "First I was dating him, then I was his girlfriend, then we were getting married, then we were settling down and now I'm pregnant. It's so foolish we've haven't paid it any attention."
So what of the widely circulated photo where the two are hugging?
"We're taking a picture," she said.
The singer-songwriter says that the dating rumors were fine, but the pregnancy chatter was not.
"All the rest of the rumors were kinda funny except that one," she admitted. "When my mother called me like, 'Um?,' [I was] like, 'No! Are you serious?' I don't care about the rumors, but I just want people to know that I'm not pregnant. I've got an album coming out, I'm a dancer, I'm in shape and children are not anywhere in my future."
Lil Wayne agrees.
"Let me clear up this rumor, man: Shanell is not pregnant from me," Wayne said in a serious tone on a Ustream video last weekend. "Shanell isn't even pregnant! Period. Clear that up right now, man. Everybody talking about Shanell pregnant by ... No, she not even pregnant. Period."
Lil Wayne may not be the father this go round, but he saw the birth of three sons — from an unnamed Ohio native, singer Nivea Nash and actress Lauren London — between 2008 and 2009 alone. His first child's name is Reginae Carter, from his marriage to Toya Carter.

Back in December, the Page Six ran a report about Lil Wayne's marijuana obsession standing in the way of him unloading one of his properties.
According to the paper, when a couple came to see the property, they were greeted by scantily clad women and an overwhelming smell of marijuana.
Weezy never addressed the rumors, until now. In a recent interview with Tim Westwood, the rapper revealed that some of the reports were actually accurate.
But, he said it didn't scare away buyers. It actually was a selling point for him.
"We're not having trouble selling it, but all the other stuff is true," Wayne told Westwood. "The people that are coming to look at it like that more about it. That's like waking in Bob Marley's crib and you still smelling weed and his bed still messed up, and food still on the table. You're like, 'Leave all that sh**. I want to buy all that sh**.' "

Cash Money Records CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams has made a lot of wise investments over the years, but one he truly regrets is working with R. Kelly.
When asked by Ozone Magazine what his worst investment ever was Birdman said.
"Probably the worst investment I did was f*ckin’ with R. Kelly. That was a waste of my time. I could’ve made money if I wasn’t f*ckin’ with that clown-a** n*gga."
The two were supposed to record the album 'Best Of Both Worlds 2' back in 2003 but for whatever reason the album never came out.
Birdman also confirms that the star tattoo on top of his head represents an oil rig. He and his brother slim have been in the oil business for 5 years now.
