It's obvious Lil Wayne could care less what people think about his choice of wardrobe, but that doesn't mean he won't continue to be criticized.

Weezy and his YMCMB crew were performing at the MTV2's “Sucker Free Awards” at LIV Fontainebleau Miami Beach on Friday when a fan started to get on him about his giraffe-print pants.

The fan started screaming at Wayne, who was also wearing a yellow ski hat and matching fanny pack to "take off Lil Kim's jeans" and "f*ck Nicki Minaj."

Weezy was nominated for “Artist Of The Year” and “Album Of The Year” for Tha Carter IV. The show will air December 4th on MTV2 at 11P/10C.

Peep the hilarious clip below as well as YMCMB's full set which included performances by Lil Twist (“Turnt Up”), Tyga (“Rack City”) and Birdman featuring Lil Wayne ("Y U Mad).

Jay-Z has decided to pull his Occupy Wall Street themed t-shirts from Rocawear's website amid criticism he was trying to profit from the movement without giving anything back to the cause.

The plan was to sell the t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase "Occupy All Streets" for $22 with all of the money going back to the company.

"Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a scrotum," says Grim, described as one of the leaders of the Occupy movement by TMZ. "To attempt to profit off of the first important social moment of 50 years with an overpriced piece of cotton is an insult to the fight for economic civil rights known as #occupywallstreet."

A spokesperson for Rocawear confirmed to Gawker.com a couple of days ago that the company had no plans to share the wealth at this time.

The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.

TMZ reports they have been trying to contact Hov's camp for two days with no luck.

Manny Pacquiao was taken to the limit Saturday night before escaping with a majority decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez in their welterweight title fight.

Pacquiao won on two scorecards, while the third ringside judge had it a draw. It was a narrow escape for the Filipino congressman, who took as much punishment as he got over 12 rounds.

The third fight between the two was as close as the previous two, and by the time they finished 12 arounds the outcome was still in doubt. Pacquiao won some rounds with sheer agression, while Marquez won others with brilliant counterpunching, keeping Pacquiao from getting inside.

Marquez was a 7-1 underdog, but it was clear early he would be in this fight. He picked Pacquiao apart with right hands almost every time he tried to get inside, and landed good hard flurries throughout the fight.

Pacquiao was the aggressor throughout, and landed some sharp punches of his own. But when the decision was announced, the crowd booed roundly and, once again Marquez had lost a close fight.

One ringside judge had it a 114-114 draw, while two others favored Pacquiao by 115-113 and 116-112. The Associated Press had it 114-114.

The sellout crowd at the MGM Grand arena threw bottles and cans toward ringside after the decision was announced, with one full can hitting a ringside writer. Marquez, who had been bitter about the scoring in the first two fights, stormed out of the ring.

Pacquiao continued his remarkable run with the win, but it didn't come easy. He had trouble all night finding his range and, when he did get inside, Marquez often moved to the side and landed a counter right hand.

It was the third close fight between the two men, though this one was fought at 144 pounds instead of 125 as was their first fight seven years ago. That fight was a draw, while Pacquiao won a split decision in the second bout in 2008 at 130 pounds.

"My fans are very happy because they thought I won," Pacquiao said when asked about the crowd reaction.

Marquez fought going backward all night, and that might have been his undoing. While he landed well at times, Pacquiao was in his face most of the night.

"I got robbed," Marquez said. "I don't know what else I can do to win."

Pacquiao earned a minimum $22 million for the fight, while Marquez got $5 million.

A new Drake biography is headed our way in comic book form.

FAME: Drake will cover Drizzy's career from his days as an actor on Degrassi: The Next Generation, to his rise to fame in the music business.

“What makes Drake such a distinctive creative personality is that he's not just one thing. His music encompasses hip-hop, rap, old style rhythm and blues, soul and pop," the book's author, Marc Shapiro told MTV.

Shapiro goes on to describe the Young Money artist as being “refreshingly real and down to earth."

"When was the last time you heard of a celebrity blowing off a lucrative tour to be at his mother's side during her stay in the hospital? Drake did just that. You could die of old age waiting to find somebody who has as much soul, creatively and as a human being, as Drake," says Shapiro.

FAME: Drake is being published by Bluewater Productions and will be available January 2012. The book will feature the art of Mike J.C. The cover was illustrated by Joe Phillips.

Master P is back with some new No Limit Soldiers, and is looking to reclaim his spot in the rap game. 

After forming the group, Tru, with his brothers C-Murder and Silkk the Shocker, P went on a hell of a run in the 90's. His No Limit record label was home to acts such as Snoop Dogg, Mia X, Mystikal, Fiend and more before the label was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2003.

P has re-launched the record label as No Limit Forever. He told BallerStatus in a recent interview that he's ready to go with a new project.

"I named this new record TMZ - Too Many Zeros because it's true when they say 'more money, more problems'. I'm on my Donald Trump swag. I could lose it all and get it back in 72 days," Master P told Ballerstatus. "Good or bad, when the media is on you, that means you are still relevant." This album is street, controversial, and real. This is Master P's re-introduction back into the music business. But it's not about him this time, it's about the next generation of stars that he and Romeo have discovered."

Romeo will serve as President of the new label. Master P's brother, Valentino was named vice president, while Silkk The Shocker has been named chief operating officer.

The new roster of artists include T.E.C., Black Don, Miss Chee, T-Bo, and Bengie B, among others.

Do you think No Limit can reclaim it's spot?

Bow Wow releases a new video dedicated to his love of the sticky icky.

The song is off his new mixtape, I'm Better Than You.

Oscar De La Hoya is trying to get his personal life back on track. The former boxing great has come clean in recent weeks about his cross dressing fetish as well as cocaine and alcohol abuse. Pictures of him dressed in fishnet stockings and high heels are plastered all over the internet from one of his alcohol fueled parties with model Milana Dravnel.

When the pictures initially surfaced, De La Hoya said the photos were fake and reportedly paid Dravnel $20 million dollars in hush money to make the problem go away according to Fox Sports. As part of the deal Dravnel had to agree to give back the fishnets, heels and lingerie she had kept from their party.

After going to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse the Golden Boy Promotions CEO finally admitted it was him in the embarrassing photos.

"Let me tell you, yes, yes, it was me (in those pictures)," he told Univision in September 2011. "I am tired now of lying, of lying to the public and of lying to myself."

Seems as if Oscar might have to make one more admission if new allegations turn out to be true.

The New York Post is reporting that De La Hoya is being sued by model Angelica Marie Cecora for emotional distress, false imprisonment and assault and battery stemming from a drug and sex orgy at the Ritz-Carlton in New York.

According to the report De La Hoya hired Cecero through a modeling agency. After the two had dinner Oscar asked her to spend the night, which she agreed to.

Once in the hotel room Cecero alleges that De La Hoya got smashed on alcohol, then started trying on her lingerie.

“It was beyond kinky,” the 25-year old told The Post. “Things that I don’t even know how to explain were done with him. He started to put my stuff on, my underwear. I had a skirt with me. He put that on. He was the exact same size as me. He fit into the tiniest pair of underwear that I had been wearing. He was dancing, playing around with my [clothes], playing a woman, very feminine."

Cecero says the two had sex and that De La Hoya ordered drugs be delivered to the hotel. After that, he became even more out of control. She decided to call her roommate to join them.

“She is a dancer. I thought he would definitely be interested in her,” Cecora said. “He had asked her to bring some stuff with her. Some more underwear, some vibrators, toys . . . She brought a vibrator, a dildo, a bong."

De La Hoya reportedly started snorting cocaine and asked her to perform a very extreme sex act. She told him that she had never done anything like that before and claims the images still haunt her.

“He was in these positions that [still] keep flashing into my head," she said.

Eventually Cecero and her Russian roommate kicked De La Hoya out of the hotel bedroom so they could sleep, but he kept sneaking back in to crawl in bed with them.

After the pair made it clear they would leave if he didn't sleep on the couch, he eventually left them alone. When they awoke the morning after he was gone and left her with a $1500 hotel bill, which she did not pay. She claims De La Hoya's lawyer later tried to settle the bill with her.

A snippet of this song leaked earlier in the week. Here's the full version for your listening pleasure. This track is the title track from Rihanna's forthcoming Talk That Talk album, which swill be released November 21.

Juelz Santana was arrested last week on suspicion of making terrorist threats by New Jersey police.

The news comes from a TMZ report which says the rapper was also charged with disorderly conduct. While details are scarce at the moment, this is the second time this year Juelz has been arrested in New Jersey by cops he feels are simply harassing him.

Back in January 2011, the Diplomats member was arrested in Bergen County, New Jersey after police raided his studio and reportedly found two fully loaded handguns, ammunition, and 17 Ziploc bags of "a greenish brown vegetation consistent with the appearance of marijuana,"

"They always picking on me, that's the best way I could put it," he told the Hot Boyz on Chicago's Power 92 back in January after posting $125,000 bail. "But by the graces of God, everything should be OK. I wasn't really caught with anything in my possession. They said they found some things in the studio, which I have no idea about. We'll see how everything pans out, man."

The Skull Gang boss was also prevented from performing at Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. album release party in March 2011 after cops stopped him from entering New York City's Webster Hall. Police subsequently searched his car for weapons and drugs, but found nothing. He was ordered not to enter and missed his performance with Brown according to the New York Post.

"The [police] just follow around and sniff around for something to happen," his rep told the New York Post at the time.

In this latest run-in with police, Juelz's car was also impounded after he reportedly refused to allow it to be searched.

He is currently free on $46,500 bail.

Charlie Murphy was asked to name the wackest rappers of all time by DJ Vlad, and the comedian had no trouble coming up with some names.

Making the list were Lil Zane, Kool Moe Dee, The Fat Boys, Vanilla Ice, himself and Nick Cannon.

"Nick Cannon has to go on the list too," Murphy said. "I Don't believe none of his sh*t. One part of rap is I have to believe you... I don't believe him. Eminem dissed you and your wife and you didn't do nothing to this n*gga. He disrespected the mother of your children and you didn't do nothing. To me on that alone, you don't qualify to be a rapper. If a man can disrespect your seed and your wife and I don't hear about you being separated from this n*gga you need to start singing."

Despite leaking almost two weeks early Drake's Take Care album is expected to do big numbers. As we inch closer to it's November 15 release date, Drizzy is making the rounds, doing interviews to promote his sophomore disc.

One such interview was with GQ magazine. During Drake's sit down with them he opens up about the Jay-Z/Lil Wayne rivalry, his ideal chick, people thinking he's emo and more.

GQ: You announced the title of this album, Take Care, with us back in December. What does it mean? 
Drake: No one has actually asked me that yet. I came up with the name when I was on a bus in Birmingham, England, going to a show. "Take Care" is this thing we use in passing conversation to dismiss bullshit like, "Oh, you couldn't make it on time? Oh, take care, take care." We've always used that and then I really took so much care making this album. I knew I was going to go home and take longer than six months, I knew that I was literally going to take care of making this project and be attentive, be clear, be immersed in it. "Take Care" worked.

GQ: You seem more excited releasing Take Care than you were with Thank Me Later. Do you have any regrets with your last album?
Drake: No, I never regret. It did amazing things for my career and as a sonic composition, I'm still proud of it. It was just very weird to make an album, for sale, in four months on a tour bus. It wasn't So Far Gone. So Far Gone was my first album, so I felt like it was unfair to me. Like damn, I just made So Far Gone. Now I have to come right back out with another piece.

GQ: And that is what people were going to call your first album.
Drake: Right! This is what people are going to call my first album when really [So Far Gone] was my first album. I shouldn't have to rush this because I just gave you a body of work. Give me a minute. So I made Thank Me Later and it did great for me but you're right, I was immediately on to my next one.

GQ: So what's different now?
Drake: I'm going to make this a moment for myself. I followed through on my vision...even the songs that are out now like "Trust Issues"and "Club Paradise," "Free Spirit," "Headlines," "Make Me Proud," "Marvins Room," "The Motto," I'm all very proud of. That's an album in and of itself and I have nineteen more songs to give you on November 15th.

GQ: So rank them, if you will, best to worst: So Far Gone, Thank Me Later, and Take Care...
Drake: It's hard for me to put So Far Gone second because it's the first time anyone ever really paid attention or heard me. But I'm going to be honest with you, Take Care, then So Far Gone, then Thank Me Later...

GQ: Some of the features on this album are crazy. Wayne, Nikki, Rihanna, some unknown guy named Andre 3000...
Drake: He murdered that sh*t! He killed it and 40 switched the beat, it's nasty. I didn't get to see him record, but speaking with him was great and we even spoke about projects beyond "The Real Her."

GQ: You said that, "Just by buying your album, you know a lot of shit about me." So let's break down some lyrics. "Why is this so familiar? Just met/already feel like I know the real her." 
Drake: I guess sometimes I feel like I'm laying next to the same woman over and over again. The things that they say, the place they are in their life, the concerns they have about me and my life. I feel like I deal with the same women repetitively. The ones I'm referring to in that song have all fucked the same rappers. So, yeah, that's why I say we just met but I think I've already met the real her, because I've already met you so many times, in different shapes and forms—it all feels familiar.

GQ: Who's the ideal girl for Drake?
Drake: Who's the ideal girl? She is very funny, very supportive, understands that right now I'm trying to build with somebody. The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer...

GQ: Or being seen.
Drake: Or being seen! She's probably in New York to be honest with you. There are a lot of good women in New York.

GQ: The next lyric is from "Marvins Room." Everyone with vocal cords uploaded their own version of your song to YouTube. Whose version was your favorite? 
Drake: I mean everybody says Jojo's but you know I don't really have a favorite. Actually, my version is my favorite and I never say stuff like that. But really though, my version is my favorite because there is such a story behind it.

GQ: Let's get into the story. "The woman that I would try, is happy with a good guy." Who's the girl you're talking about?
Drake: It's not about one particular female. It's just an emotion that I've experienced. I've texted girls late at night saying, "I miss you," and she'll be like, "I'm out on a date." She is happy, somewhere else.

GQ: Wait, you're one of the top artists in the world right now. That still happens to you, in 2011? 
Drake: Yeah, definitely.

GQ: What type of wildly successful girls are you dating to where they'd dis you? Oprah?
Drake: [laughs] I wish I dated Oprah. No, they're mostly girls from Toronto that know the real me and don't give a f*ck about who "Drake" is or what he's accomplished. And then there are a lot of girls who get a kick out of doing that to me because of who I am. A lot of girls want to purposefully drive a point home.

GQ: When Lil Wayne and Jay-Z made passing references to each other earlier this year, did you feel like you were in a compromising situation? We know you really look up to Jay and you really look up to Wayne.
Drake: I'm just riding with Wayne, always. I'll never sit here and say that Wayne compromised me. I'm just doing what I got do. I'm a Cash Money soldier. That's who I ride for.

GQ: Do you think it was blown out of proportion?
Drake: I mean, not really. I think it was pretty clear-cut. I think anybody denying anything at this point is silly. And I've said that before for either of them to say, "Oh, no man, I didn't mean it," it's like, "Yes you did, man". But it's all good, it's what rap is about. It's a competitive business.

GQ: You appeared on Wayne's "It's Good," which made reference to Jay. Would you have gotten on "H.A.M." with Jay-Z, where he made the initial reference?
Drake: If I had heard it? No. Because Wayne's done way more for my career than Jay-Z. Wayne is the reason I'm here. Jay-Z did that for Cole, that's his artist. Cole's my brother, he's an artist I respect so much but I know he'd say the same thing. We've got bosses. We're just falling in line, doing what we got to do.

GQ: People talk a lot of sh*t, anything you wish they'd stop saying?
Drake: That's tough. I wish that we lived in a time and a generation where people would stop viewing my honesty as overly emotional. People always act like I spend my life crying in a dark room. I don't, I'm good. I'm a man. I want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullsh*t. I don't think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. And how they remember you is up to you. I just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because I wake up every morning and I'm me.
