We told you about Birdman copping a new Bugatti Veyron here on PaperChaserDotCom the other day. At the time there were only pics available. Today we get the visuals courtesy of Derick G.
Stunna doesn't hit the car's top end speed of 253 mph, but why would he need to?
Also I stand corrected on the price tag. I thought it was $2.1 million, turns out it's actually $2.5 mil.
Stunna says in the video that the car is "rich n*gga sh*t", and I'd have to agree.

Young Money femcee, Nicki Minaj shows no signs of letting go of her grip on the best female rapper in the game title. At the very least, she is the most popular and continues to make all the right career moves.
Her latest single, "Your Love" holds the #14 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart and she was just nominated for an MTV Video Music Award in the Best New Artist category.
"I feel like I've died and gone to heaven," Minaj told MTV of the VMA nomination. "I definitely thought I'd get one someday, but not before I put the album out. I never thought I'd get a nomination [this year]. ... I didn't even think I'd get invited!"
Expect more new music from Nicki very soon. She recently told Billboard that she is putting the finishing touches on her next single. "I think you guys are going to be really happy with it," she said.
Nicki's debut album, 'Pink Friday' is due out November 23.

Stunna just copped an all red Bugatti Veyron which probably cost him at least $2 million dollars for the European sports car.
The Wall Street Journal estimates the yearly upkeep on the car runs at about $300,000 and is akin to running a private jet!
With a roster of artists that includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne, expect Birdman to continue having expensive tastes for a long to to come..
My only question is, where the hell do you drive a car that tops out at a reported 253 MPH?

Drake has already been thanked by the fans with a platinum plaque. Now, the 23-year-old says he wants to reciprocate the love by gifting them a free mixtape. His all-R&B project is coming sooner than later, he says.
"Me and 40 working on it," Drake said in Toronto at his OVO Festival. "I got you. I think I got a great body of work with that tape. I'm gonna do it like I do all my other tapes. I'm gonna make a night out of it. Just make sure you're on the Net that night downloading, and it's yours. I feel the people deserve it. It's hard for me to put out free rap albums these days. So the best I can do is switch genres and put something out for free. It'll be yours very soon."
Although Drizzy didn't reveal any of the records we may find on the tape, Mixtape Daily is guessing that the leaked "Fall for Your Type" (the record appeared unfinished on the Net several weeks ago) may appear somewhere on there.
" ''Fall for Your Type' I wish was on there," he said Sunday while talking about records such as "Darlin' " — another leaker — that didn't make Thank Me Later. "But I have other plans for that record, so it's gonna be good."
As for his next official LP, Drake said he may be simplifying his song structure some.
"What I want is just for the records to be able to be played and enjoyed without it being too complex," he explained.

Foxy Brown insists there were no shots fired at Nicki Minaj. The Brooklyn veteran disputes claims she was dissing the Young Money MC during a recent show at Manhattan's B.B. King Blues Club & Grill. Brown says that, in fact, she thinks Minaj has been doing an exemplary job at navigating the music industry.
"What's funny, I actually applaud Nicki for it," said Foxy, who was accompanied by her manager earlier this week during a visit to the MTV News studio. "I think she's doing an incredible job of branding herself. When you're a boss bitch, you give it up. Send her a Chanel bag or something," she laughed. "If you're winning, you're wining. That's just how I see it."
When Foxy was asked whether she shared the same line of thinking as Lil' Kim, who believes that a rising female MC like Minaj should pay homage, Brown insisted, "I'm not caught up in that at all ... I'm not even in that category. I'm still one of the youngest female rappers in the game. [Other female rappers] may feel like that because they're older, but I myself am still young. I don't feel that. I applaud what she's doing.
As for Foxy's comments at her B.B. King's show over the weekend, Brown addressed her female rap counterparts mixing hip-hop and dancehall saying, "I'm the only rap bitch in the game that f--- with all hip-hop, all dancehall, and I'm the only bitch that can do that for real"
Brown told us that yes, she was referring to Nicki's Caribbean accent on the remix of Gyptian's "Hold You," but no, she wasn't throwing jabs.
" 'Cause everyone thought it was me on that dancehall record," Foxy explained. "It's something I created. That's something that had never been done before — hip-hop and dancehall together — until I did it. I didn't do it just to sell records. I didn't do it as a ploy or gimmick. My parents are from Trinidad. I'm Trinidadian. I'm West Indian. That is the music I grew up on. To incorporate that with hip-hop was the biggest thing ever.
"My ex-fiancé is Spragga Benz; [he] had the most amazing dancehall hook and we went crazy on it. I think anybody that does that after, [people will be like, 'Is that Fox?'] Then the little ad-libs [Nicki does on the song], 'whoa, whoa,' that's my trademark. People will start to question that and say, 'Was that Foxy?' But what I said onstage is what is said. I back up and stand behind everything I say two million percent: I am the only Trinny chick that can kick yard sh--."
After viewing Drake's 'Best I Ever Had' video, no one could deny the rapper had a fondness for females with buxom bosoms. In a recent interview with Canadian reporter Nardwuar, the former 'Degrassi' star further discussed his inclination for women with large breasts as well as being a fan of the well-endowed actress Pam Grier.
In the clip, Nardwuar inquired about a recent show in Cleveland, Ohio, where Drake used a "bra stand." The Toronto native, accompanied by producer and friend 40, let the interviewer in on the special dedication he gave to women during his concerts. "I put like the biggest breast bras on my mic stand," he admitted. "I try to showcase the fact that a full chest is nothing to be ashamed of."
Drake went on to discuss his admiration for the female anatomy. "You shouldn't go get them reduced. Breasts are a beautiful thing." While 40 laughed beside the rapper, the "Find Your Love' performer let loose about a secret possession in his collection. "I actually have an entire trunk, I think there's about 4[00] or 500 bras in this trunk," Drake said. "It's a black trunk and I carry it with me on the road. It's pretty much every bra I've ever received."
During the exchange, Nardwuar presented the Young Money affiliate with a vinyl soundtrack from the blaxploitation film 'Coffy.' Drake, visibly surprised, held the collector's item, decorated with Pam Grier's image, and revealed some shocking information about the popular movie star. "This woman... Oh man, this is gonna sound so weird," he continued, "When I first discovered what masturbation was, I used to jerk-off to Pam Grier. I think Pam Grier is really responsible for shaping my taste in women if you really look at her."
Drake's current fling, Maliah Michelle, shares some of the actress's voluptuous assets.

Four years after a shooting left an unarmed Sean Bell dead (on the eve of his wedding) and two of his friends wounded following a tragic incident with New York City police, the city has agreed to pay $7 million dollars to settle a federal lawsuit filed by Bell's family and his friends.
According to The New York Times, in the early hours of November 25, 2006, five New York City police officers fired 50 shots into the car Bell — who was to be married that day — was driving outside a club in Queens, New York. The car reportedly struck a detective in the leg and hit a police van before the officers began firing. None of the three men in the car — Bell and his friends Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield — were armed, although the officers apparently believed at least one was.
In what's seen as the closing chapter in one of the most controversial police shootings in New York City history — three officers were acquitted of manslaughter and reckless-endangerment charges in 2008, a ruling many activists and rappers spoke out against — the families of the victims are looking to move past the tragedy.
As part of the settlement, Bell's two young daughters (whom he had with his fiancée, Nicole Paultre Bell) will receive $3.25 million; Guzman (who was shot 17 times) and Trent Benefield will receive $3 million and $900,000 respectively, according to Times.
Earlier this week, Foxy Brown — a close friend of Bell's fiancée — said Paultre Bell is a strong woman who remained in high spirits throughout the four-year ordeal.
"She just handled everything so gracefully," Brown said. "She just did everything with grace and class."
G-Unit member Tony Yayo, whose G-Unity foundation gave proceeds from a recent event to Bell's family, said the settlement is long overdue.
"I think it's a beautiful thing, but rest in peace to Sean Bell," Yayo said. "I mean, you have times now when a police officer can shoot you in your back, handcuffed on the floor, in a train station in front of everybody and get two years," Yayo said, referring to the Oscar Grant shooting in Oakland, California, in which found a transit officer was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month. "So Sean Bell's people deserve that money, definitely, and blessings to them."
