Lil Wayne Cancels Again

Lil Wayne’s show at the GM Palace in Vancouver last Monday was cancelled at the last minute and also cancelled for the gig the next day. I don’t know what his reasoning is but I give him props for letting everyone know 24 hours in advance as compared to his other cancelled gigs. According to the promoter’s media release “The Lil Wayne show has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond Live Nation’s Control.” Live Nation isn’t a babysitter and they can’t be responsible for keeping him awake or curing his hangovers. The singer was supposed to perform with Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and Drake. Ticket holders will be given refunds.

Drake Gets Signed

Rihanna’s rumored boyfriend, Drake, has just scored big time by getting a record deal with Young Money and Universal Republic. A lot of record labels were trying to sign him but he ended up going with Lil Wayne’s label for a cool $3 million. The rapper’s debut album ‘Thank Me Later’ is slated for a late 2009 release and features collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z. Drake will also be supporting Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy this summer on their Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival tour. He’s shaping up to be one of the hottest commodities of the year.
