Lil Wayne kept it short and brief, but his announcement at 106 KMEL's Summer Jam 2015 on Saturday, June 13, at Oracle Arena in Oakland, has sent shock waves throughout the industry.
During his set Wayne said that he had "just signed a deal with my motherfucking idol Jay Z." Does this mean he's managed to get out of his Cash Money deal and moved his Young Money imprint over to Roc Nation?
Since Wayne's didn't elaborate we're left to guess until more news comes out. Check out the footage below.
**UPDATE**
Lil Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant has issued a clarification of Wayne's statement.
"The Internet and blogs took his words out of context," Bryant tells Billboard. "When Wayne was speaking about the partnership with Jay Z, he was speaking about his new deal as an artist owner with Tidal."
MEXICO CITY (USA Today/MMA Junkie) – In a back-and-forth fight that threatened to end at any moment, UFC interim heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum spoiled Cain Velasquez’s homecoming and unified the title.
Werdum (20-5-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC) went toe-to-toe with Velasquez (13-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) over three rounds and hurt him enough to draw an exhausted takedown attempt, which he promptly capitalized on with a guillotine choke that forced a tap at the 2:13 mark of the frame.
“I had a good strategy,” Werdum said afterward. “I had a big dream, and I got it today.”
The heavyweight title unification bout was the main event of today’s UFC 188 event at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
Werdum, No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, took the Mexican-American Velasquez’s best shots and countered with his own, frequently staggering with champ with his right hand in a fight where elevation was a third opponent throughout the card.
“I was here for 34 days (before the fight card),” said Werdum, who acted as his own translator after giving answers in Spanish.
At 7,382 feet above sea level, both men showed signs of fatigue as the frantic pace of the fight extended into the second and third rounds. Velasquez, who hadn’t fought since winning a October 2013 trilogy bout with now-former champ Junior dos Santos, appeared to be severely affected by the altitude.
“For two weeks, I was out here training,” Velasquez, No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA pound-for-pound rankings and No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, said afterward. “I guess it wasn’t enough.”
Still, Velasquez kept his characteristically intense pace, hoping to take Werdum’s legs from him with persistent kicks. Werdum, meanwhile, worked a jab and worked hard to answer every attack.
When Velasquez knocked Werdum foe down early, he declined an extended engagement on the ground, fearing his Brazilian opponent’s dangerous submission game. Instead, Velasquez worked steady one-two combinations and overhand rights, pressuring his opponent to the fence. Every time, Werdum fought off the cage and caught the champ with his own combinations.
A knee at the end of the second round sent Velasquez wobbling back to his corner. A cut over his left eye bled generously.
Advised by his corner to take the fight to the ground, Velasquez put Werdum on the mat in the third. But again shying away from grappling with his opponent, a former jiu-jitsu world champion who once famously submitted PRIDE champ Fedor Emelianenko, he gave enough space for a standup.
Werdum then shrugged off a high kick and turned up the pressure on Velasquez, backing him to the cage with a flurry of punches. When Velasquez shot for a takedown, it came more from desperation than strategic thinking.
Velasquez immediately exposed his neck, allowing Werdum to execute a textbook guillotine that left no other option but submission.
“I train a lot, this movement,” Werdum said. “I trained a long time, and I know he was going to go for a takedown on my legs. I just waited for the right moment.”
Released seven years ago by the UFC on the heels of a knockout loss to dos Santos, Werdum completed a journey he began in 2012 after a lackluster loss to Alistair Overeem in a heavyweight tournament in the now-defunct Strikeforce. Frequently an underdog, he bucked expectations with a four-fight win streak that earned him a shot at the UFC heavyweight title.
After a stint as opposing coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America,” Werdum and Velasquez were scheduled to meet this past November at UFC 180 in Mexico City. But Velasquez suffered a bad knee injury, and the UFC installed former K-1 champ Mark Hunt in an interim title bout. Again delivering a shocker, Werdum knocked out the knockout artist with a flying knee.
Despite his five-fight streak, Werdum was a 4-1 underdog coming into the UFC 188. Velasquez, meanwhile, received a hero’s welcome in his first fight on Mexican soil.
“I’m sorry to everyone here,” said Velasquez. “My dream was to fight here and win in front of everyone. I didn’t do it tonight, and I’m sorry. I can’t ask for more motivation for me to keep on getting better, come back, and win that belt back again.”
Before UFC 180 and UFC 188, Werdum did his best to charm the Mexican fans by speaking Spanish at every turn. When he walked to the arena, however, he received a significant number of boos.
While he might not have completely won over the crowd tonight, Werdum’s heart and poise made a lot of headway. And it’s doubtful he’ll be the underdog for a while.

(Syracuse.com) An Upstate New York prison worker has officially been described as an accessory to the escape of two convicted killers, and more details about their relationship have emerged.
Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie told the Plattsburgh Press-Republican on Thursday that Clinton Correctional Facility employee Joyce Mitchell"has been very cooperative since she was identified as an accessory to the escape."
Mitchell, 51, also known as "Tillie," was a supervisor in the Dannemora prison's tailoring department, where inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat worked. The Albany Times-Union reports she admitted smuggling in power tools for them to cut through steel walls and provided access to a cell phone.
Wylie told NBC News on Friday, however, that Mitchell did not provide power tools. The prosecutor said she did bring in contraband, but wouldn't specify what it was.
Mitchell is believed to have also agreed to drive a getaway car for the pair, but changed her mind at the last minute and was hospitalized with panic attacks.
A CNN source said Mitchell, who's married to another prison employee, told investigators that Matt, 48, made her feel "special." But she may have also had an affair with the younger Sweat, 34.
A state official said the State Department of Corrections received a complaint within the past year about a relationship between Mitchell and one of the two escapees. ABC sources said the man was Sweat, but the DOC's internal investigation didn't lead to any discipline for her.
According to the Times-Union, prison employees and correction officers are prohibited from having relationships with inmates or doing them favors, including contacting family members.
It's unclear what charges Mitchell may face, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday: "Anyone who we find cooperated with the escape or facilitated the escape, that is a crime in and of itself and we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law."
Authorities said they may have "contained" the criminals in the small North Country town of Cadyville, between Plattsburgh and Dannemora. WFFF-TV reports a bedding spot was found in the woods where they may have slept after bloodhounds picked up the pair's scent at a nearby gas station and Subway restaurant.
Matt is described as a white male, 6-feet tall, 210 pounds, with black hair and hazel eyes. He has tattoos on his back that say "Mexico Forever", a heart on his chest and left shoulder, and a Marine Corps insignia on his right shoulder.
Sweat is described as a white male, 5-feet, 11-inches tall, 165 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. He has tattoos on his left bicep and his right fingers.
Both escapees are considered extremely dangerous. Sweat was serving a life sentence for shooting the sheriff's deputy 15 times in 2002. Matt was in prison for the kidnapping, murder and dismemberment of a man who had fired him from his job at a food warehouse.
The state has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the capture of both men. People with information can call 1-800-GIVE-TIP.
