Lil Wayne May Have To Give Up His Cash Money

Written on Sunday, April 9th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 0 comments to this post

As the success of his new album, The Carter II escalates, Lil Wayne (AKA Dwayne Carter) looks like he’ll have to pay out his ex-manager around $1 million over the next 2 years.

Melissa Philipian of Miami’s White Tides Entertainment in Miami, Weezy’s ex-manager, has officially filed a lawsuit for failing to pay her back commissions totaling $500,000. In addition to that she claims her contract states that 15 percent of his next two years earnings is owed to White Tides Entertainment. Weezy signed the contract for her management in June 2005. He fired her in December last year after being unsatisfied with the standard of hotel room that she booked for the southern rap star when touring before Christmas ‘05.

Since signing with White Tides management, the company had arranged deals with advertisers for product placement, various appearances on other artists albums and had booked 21 concerts for the Ca$h Money Mogul. Miami Herald interviewed Philipian’s lawyer Richard Wolfe, who recently stated in the publication that, “We’re probably looking at damages in excess of $1 Million.” He then went on to comment that, “Sometimes artists make it big, and then forget about the people who helped them get there.”

Despite managerial beef Lil Wayne’s career has been blossoming with his Reebok deal and his latest Album, “The Carter II” which is doing well in the American Billboard Charts at the present moment.

Snowman Young Jeezy Feels the Heat in Miami Shooting Incident

Written on Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 by Cinzano D :: 0 comments to this post

Early Saturday morning Young Jeezy, born Jay Jenkins, was busted on weapons charges after a shootout on a busy South Beach strip involving some of his friends.

Miami Beach police arrested the Atlanta-based rapper and charged him with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm. No one was injured.

According to HipHopgame.com A fight broke out at about 5:30 a.m. Friday morning in the 1200 block of Washington Avenue when Tramiel De Juan Golden — a producer — was caught fighting on tape with several men, who were not identified. Young Jeezy was with the group.

A passerby, Marco Raez, turned on his video camera, and started filming. Golden demanded: ”Give me the camera.” The feud escalated. When Raez refused, another man Raheem Karriem, who was also with Golden, lifted his shirt to reveal a gun tucked into his waistband.

Karriem began shooting. Raez surrendered the camera Miami Beach Police spokesman Robert Hernandez said about nine men, including Young Jeezy, got into two separate SUVs and fled the scene.

Karriem got into a black Landrover while Jeezy jumped into a Lincoln Navigator, police said. Before he was stopped by police, Karriem smashed into three parked cars, causing thousands of dollars in damages.
Police caught up to the Navigator moments after the incident occured. Jeezy, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, pointed his fingers at officers, making believe it was a gun.

Officers found a semi-automatic firearm under his seat and another similar firearm, near the armrest. Jeezy was arrested and charged with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm without a permit, while Golden was charged with strong armed robbery. Another man, Steven Lesly Savain, of West Kendall — who was also with the group — was taken into custody. Read more about… Young Jeezy Snowman
