May 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Reginae Carter’s high-profile life has been a part of her career since she was just a young child. However, she has not been the face of flashing her things as most social media figures do. Being that she is the daughter of rap legend Lil Wayne and entrepreneur Toya-Johnson Rushing, she frequently shows love to her parents. Her unproblematic approach is constantly praised by her fans as he does have a heavy social media presence. Unfortunately, Reginae revealed someone tried to break into her home.

On Tuesday, Reginae Carter took to Twitter to express her feelings about almost being a victim of burglary. “Two guys tried to break in my home last night .. So Glad I wasn’t there people are sick!,” she said. She also revealed her plans for how she will soon live more discreetly. “This is my sign to get Tf out of here .. and to be more private and more to myself about everything,” she said with a red double exclamation emoji.

Reginae Tweets Her Frustrations

Moreover, Reginae has begun to document her life adding youtube to her list of ventures. Her channel content consists of vlogs showing some elements of her life. Each vlog has surpassed over 100k views as her fans tune in to see what she will vlog next. Last year, her relationship with Youtube sensation, Armon Warren went public. He is a frequent face on her youtube as she documents their love. Additionally, he bought her a promise ring which symbolizes a promise to love prior to a more serious engagement. The couple typically appears on each other social media and has been looked at as couple goals due to their light-hearted content. Subsequently, their public display of love has been trolled. In April, Reginae got into a short feud with DJ Akademiks over his comments about her father and her relationship. He has since apologized for his insensitive remarks.

Furthermore, the situation behind Reginae’s home reaching near-burglary has become a “sign” for the popular socialite. As a prevalent face for Gen Z, her supporters can await to see the changes in her approach as a public figure as she wants to become more private.

May 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

will.i.am and Lil Wayne both have extensive resume’s when it comes to their features and overall music catalog. Moreover, it’s a surprise as to why we don’t have more collaborations between the two icons. For as long as they’ve been in Hip-Hop we’ve only gotten two tracks with both of them. Jay Rock’s “All My Life (In The Ghetto)” and Wayne’s feature on the “Scream & Shout” remix. However, that all changes today with a new single from the rap powerhouses.

will.i.am and Lil Wayne have come together for their first collaboration track titled, “The Formula.” Not only that, it’s been a decade since the global producing legend released a solo single. Additionally, will.i.am is a big fan of Formula 1 racing, which most likely prompted the naming of this song. Formula 1 racing has become one of the fastest-growing sports to date. Furthermore, the 2023 FIA Formula 1 champion season will have more F1-inspired tracks as part of the Global Artist in Residence alliance. Interestingly, the release of this track from will. i.am culminates some buzz before the release of the Black Eyed Peas frontman’s solo album in the fall.

will.i.am Releases F1-Inspired Single

The track feels like an attempt at a summer bop, perfect for watching F-1 racing. It won’t be long ’til we see this in every commercial while the F-1 championship series is happening. “The Formula” track is the first of many tracks to be released and will also be featured during the Formula 1 Grand Prix broadcast. The Grand Prix starts this weekend May, 7, 2023.

Nonetheless, there’s no argument that the single is absolutely electrifying and energetic. Not only that the F-1-filled bars from Weezy make for a triumphant single. It’ll be interesting to see how Formula 1 follows this track. As Formula 1 racing and music begin to come together at break-neck speed, will.i.am is at the forefront delivering only the best. Additionally, the forward-thinking production from the legendary producer is second to none. The contagious rhythm and infectious pulsating bassline make for the perfect single to kick off the F-1 Grand Prix. Have you listened to the new track?

May 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of the upcoming F1 Grand Prix Race in Miami, which is set to take place this Sunday (May 7), will.i.am has shared a fiery new collaboration with Lil Wayne.

On “The Formula,” the pop and hip-hop veterans remind listeners of their place in the game. Will experiments with drill sounds as he delivers snappy, clever bars.

“Lightning quick, y’all can’t stick with it / I stay slick like I’m liquid / Super complex, ain’t comin’ simplistic / I told ’em, I told ’em, I told ’em I’m sick with the cold / So let me encode ’em / I got the ammo, so watch me reload ’em /I’m comin’ with flammables, time to explode ’em,” he raps.

Swooping in with some more heat his Wayne, with a verse chock-full of car metaphors

“Call me, ‘Weezy F1’ / My car fly like the Jetson’s / You a small fry, need ketchup / Fall behind or you can catch up / You can fall down or you can step up / Been a long time since I messed up / I told Father Time I’m his step-son,” he raps.

In a recent interview with us, Will pleasantly recalled meeting Wayne for the first time, and described the vibe he got from him.

You can listen to “The Formula” above.

The single drops tonight at midnight, but ahead of the release, will.i.am spoke with Uproxx about working with Lil Wayne.

Both Will and Lil Wayne have been in the game for nearly three decades. In our interview, Will recalled his first time meeting Weezy and how he had a familiar energy.

He doesn’t quite remember how exactly their first meeting happened, however, Will has nothing but fond memories of Weezy.

“All I know,” Will said, “is that when I first met Little Wayne, I felt like I’ve known him my whole life because he has that ‘this is my cousin, this is my family member,’ vibe. So, I don’t remember the first time. I don’t know if it was in the early 2000s, I just know when I met him, I had the vibe that I’ve known him forever.”

Will.i.am and Lil Wayne’s new single is part of a series of singles by various artists that will arrive this summer, and an album that will drop in November.

Lil Wayne Visits The Houston Astros

May 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne has been very active in the sporting recently. Aside from the usual pictures of him at various NBA events, he has been making his presence known. He face-timed both the Cavinder Twins as well as LSU during the NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship Tournament. He is even reportedly collabing with LSU freshman and rapper Flau’jae Johnson. Wayne is currently touring the US in his “Welcome To Tha Carter” tour. It began in Nashville and is set to end in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, the Houston Astros are off to a strong start in the 2023 MLB season. The defending champions, at the time of writing, are second in the AL West. They are 2.5 games back from the Texas Rangers, whose massive off-season spending is paying off for the team. The Astros are currently five games into a six-game homestand before taking to the road to face the Mariners, Angels, and White Sox. However, they recently struggled, winning just two of their last five games.

Lil Wayne Visits The Astros, Gets Custom Jersey

According to a post from the Astros, Lil Wayne paid a visit to the Houston dugout on May 2. Wayne was in Houston for a stop on this “Welcome To Tha Carter” Tour. The video, captioned “game recognizes game”, shows Wayne eagerly meeting players. He is also heard greeting infielder Alex Bregman with the moniker “Tiger”. This is likely a reference to Bregman’s collegiate career at LSU. Bregman was a standout player at LSU. However, he never appeared in the College World Series while with the Tigers. The Tigers would later finish runners-up in the 2017 College World Series.

However, things didn’t just end with a quick visit. Wayne took photos with members of the team. Furthermore, he was presented with a signed #27 jersey with the nameplate “Tunechi”. #27 is the current number of second baseman Jose Altuve, who has worn it since 2011. What’s amusing about this entire encounter is that back in 2008, Wayne revealed in an ESPN article that he was a Red Sox fan. Does still back the Sox? Or has he changed his allegiance to Houston?

Lil Wayne Stops Tour Bus For His Personal Chef To Cook Him Meals

May 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne committed to eating healthy early on in his career and he continues to maintain a better diet than most touring artists. It’s no secret that the tour life can be strenuous for artists. Between time restraints and moving from city to city, it’s hard to find a home-cooked meal. However, Weezy found himself a solution to that. The Louisiana-bred rapper doesn’t go anywhere without his personal chef, especially when he’s on tour. He revealed that he pulled his bus over to have his chef whip him up a healthy meal.

“We had pulled over to eat, and you know, I don’t eat fast food so we pulled over to cook,” he said. “Eat healthy young men, young women.” Several bags of groceries are aligned on the ground along with a small set-up where his chef whips up meals for himself and everyone else on the tour. Although some artists would just wait for catering once they get to the venue, Lil Wayne clearly prefers to have someone on standby, in case he gets hungry.

Lil Wayne Avoids Fast Food At All Cost

A post shared by Lil Wayne (@liltunechi)

Wayne explained to Zane Lowe in February that he hasn’t touched fast food since he was 19 years old. He explained that his mother, who was also a chef, encouraged him to ensure that he was eating healthy foods. “When I was 19, I moved to Miami and my mom is a chef and she was very happy for the move because New Orleans is crazy. One thing she really wanted me to do was get a personal chef,” he said.

He added, “So from the age of 19 to now, I’ve always had a personal chef. I haven’t eaten any fast food forever, I don’t know what McDonalds smell like. Only Gym I know is Jim Jones. I can’t lift a weight, I don’t do no workout.” Still, Lil Wayne remains an avid skater, so it’s not like he’s lacking physical activity. Plus, he’s certainly putting in tons of cardio on stage every night on the Welcome To Tha Carter tour. Check out Lil Wayne’s video above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Arguably the most significant contributor to Birdman’s net worth is his co-founding of Cash Money Records, which he established with his brother, Ronald “Slim” Williams, in 1991. Cash Money Records has become one of the most successful independent record labels in the industry.

The label has signed and released music from some of the biggest names in hip-hop, such as Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj. These artists’ successes have brought in millions of dollars in revenue, substantially increasing Birdman’s net worth.

Birdman’s entrepreneurial spirit has also played a significant role in his net worth. He has ventured into various industries, including fashion, spirits, and oil exploration.

In 2006, Birdman and Lil Wayne launched the fashion brand/Cash Money off-brand YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Billionaires), which became a popular streetwear label. Moreover, he invested in a spirit company called GTV Vodka, which has brought in additional income.

His foray into the oil and gas industry with Bronald Oil & Gas, however, did not prove as successful as his other ventures.

Real Estate Investments And Lavish Lifestyle

Birdman’s real estate investments have contributed to his wealth as well. He owns several multi-million-dollar properties in cities like Miami and New Orleans. These properties not only serve as homes but also as investments that can appreciate over time.

It’s worth noting that the entrepreneur is known for his lavish lifestyle, often showcasing luxury cars, jewelry, and extravagant parties. While his spending habits may not directly contribute to his net worth, they are a testament to the wealth he has amassed over the years.

Birdman: Legal Issues And Controversies

Birdman’s wealth has not come without its share of controversies and legal issues. He has been involved in numerous lawsuits and disputes with artists signed to his label, such as Lil Wayne and Tyga. While these issues have the potential to impact his net worth, Birdman’s fortune remains substantial.

Conclusion/TLDR

Birdman’s estimated net worth of $150 million in 2023 can be attributed to his successful music career, record label, and business ventures. His influence and accomplishments in the music industry, as well as his diverse portfolio, have allowed him to amass a considerable fortune.
