Award winning and platinum selling artist, Lil Wayne, is now the proud father of Dwayne Carter III who was born yesterday in a Cincinnati hospital. This is Wayne's second child.

Lil Wayne Helps Rebuild

Hip Hop power player Lil Wayne is helping to restore his hometown by donating $200,000 to rebuild New Orleans’ Harrell Park, the rappers childhood playground.

According to reports, the park was being used as a trailer site for Sewerage and Water Board workers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Due to heavy equipment and machinery being used, the park's track field and community center were ruined.

Wayne hopes that this will help kids steer clear of trouble in what is reported to be one of New Orlean's more violent neighborhoods.

“You can't really tell them (kids) what to do these days,” Lil’ Wayne stated to Louisiana’s WWLTV.

“When you tell them what to do, that's when they get angry when you tell them be like me because it's hard to be like me. So, the best thing you can tell them is try to do right.”

After multiple appearances of the infamous Styrofoam cup attached to Lil Waynes hand, it's sparked up some debates as to the contents of the cup.

When it was announced that the fatal drink played a key role in the death of Texas legend Pimp C, Wayne felt the need to state his addiction to it.

Following urges by friends and family, particularly his mother, to quit downing the lethal drink, Wayne responded by saying that quitting feels like "death".

"It ain't that easy - feels like death in your stomach when you stop doing that stuff. You gotta learn how to stop, you gotta go through detox. You gotta do all kinds of stuff. Like I said, I'm a selfish person. I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. It's gonna be hard to tell me I'm slipping. It's hard to sit and tell me 'Stop. damn, how can we tell this guy to stop when every thing he do is successful? This guy is making progress. He just went and talked to kids and that stuff was amazing.' Feel me? So what am I doing wrong?" Wayne vented in a recent interview with MTV."

Despite the frequent requests for him to stop the use of syrup, Weezy says it's pushing him to want to do more.

"It's inspiring me, but I'mma tell them now they better stop. Cause they [are trying to] push me off the edge. If I jump, I'm taking the world with me. That's my word."

Wayne stated in the same interview.

Lil Wayne Sued by The Rolling Stones

Abcko Music inc. the publishing company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones song "Play With Fire" is sueing rapper Lil Wayne for using a sample of the song without permission. Lil Wayne has been accused of copyright infringement and unfair competition. Lil Wayne used the Rolling Stones sample on his Carter 3 album to complete the song he titled "Playing With Fire". The version Lil Wayne produced has been altered in a noticeable way and the hook from the original song has been used in Wayne's version as the chorus. Abcko Music is irate about the Lil Wayne song claiming that his lyrics are "explicit, sexist, and offensive" and that the reason for the lawsuit is to protect the image of The Rolling Stones and the song they originally made. No specific ammount is known at this time, but it is believed to be a multi-million dollar lawsuit. The record sales for Lil Waynes album have exceeded expectations and Lil Wayne has made over 10 million dollars to date from his album. The popular song "Playing With Fire" has been highly credited for some of the albums success and has been a fan favorite since the releasing of the track. Abcko Music understands the popularity of the stolen song and is seeking to be reimbused for the profit The Rolling Stones helped Lil Wayne to see.

Fans of the eccentric rapper have already got a preview of what to expect from Wayne with the first single of Rebirth titled, "Prom Queen". To date Lil Wayne has released 3 different songs from the album, each of them falling into the rock genre and portraying Lil Wayne in a way none of his previous songs have. Being the most successful hip-hop artist in the world just wasn't enough for Lil Wayne.
