Chris Brown Disses Drake On Freestyle, Shouts Out Lil Wayne

Chris Brown released a lyrical attack on Drake today over Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" beat. Chris' remix features several jabs at Drake's music, appearance and reputation--although Brown commends Drake's Young Money counterparts Lil' Wayne and Nicki Minaj --in lyrics like "One on one, what you scared bruh...Them eyebrows, man them shi*ts is Yikes!" and "OVO you overdose, YOLO no, I live twice!" Chris briefly references the alleged June 14 melee between him and Drizzy at NYC's W.i.P. nightclub, saying "They throwing bottles/I'm throwing models." It's still unclear what sparked that altercation between the duo. MTV News reported that a fight broke out at trendy W.i.P. nightclub in NYC in which bottles were allegedly thrown. A photo posted to Brown's Instagram showing the singer sporting a bloody gash on his chin quickly made its rounds. The singer's bodyguard also sustained a head injury as did NBA s

Wayne - the founder and co-head of Young Money Entertainment, the label Drake is signed to - has called on the musician and the 'Yeah 3x' singer to stop arguing because it is bad for business.

Sources say several people from Young Money including Wayne, Birdman and co-founder Mack Maine, have called Drake to tell him to make up with Chris.

Lil Wayne focuses on business, fashion

LOS ANGELES With a clothing line and a powerhouse group of artists under his umbrella, Lil Wayne claims he's trying to stay above the fray. The rapper says "there's no beef" between himself and Pusha T, despite back-and-forth diss songs released in recent weeks. Conflict between the two, simmering for years, boiled over when Pusha T of the Clipse signed with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music group released a track targeting Lil Wayne and his Young Money signee Drake. Lil Wayne, who rarely responds in such cases, quickly released a brief song online called "Ghoulish" aimed at Pusha T "and anybody that love him." But in an interview at a Los Angeles Macy's department store to promote his skateboarding-inspired Trukfit clothing line, Lil Wayne told The Associated Press he doesn't plan to escalate the Pusha T conflict.

Lil Wayne To Drake and Chris Brown: Get Over It

Rapper Lil Wayne, who was just in Atlanta for Hot 107.9's birthday bash, and fellow Young Money artists are concerned that the beef between fellow rapper Drake and Chris Brown could hurt business and are demanding they make peace, according to TMZ. Citing sources close to Drake, TMZ says he has been asked "to extend an olive branch" to Brown as a way of ending the feud that escalated after a bloody nightclub brawl June 14 in Manhattan. Brown appears on several Young Money tracks. The label was founded by Lil Wayne in 2003 and includes Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist and Mack Maine, among at least a dozen other artists. New York City police continue to investigate the melee, which left several patrons injured. Police have subpoenaed security tapes from the nightclub W.i.P, but no arrests have been made. According to the New York Daily News, at least eight people were injured, including Chris Brown, who suffered a deep gash to his chin after bottles flew. Drake's camp ins

Lil Wayne 'Didn't Rush' I Am Not A Human Being II

Lil Wayne made history when he released his I Am Not a Human Being LP . The Young Money cash king debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, making him the first artist since Tupac Shakur to notch a top spot while incarcerated. When Weezy drops I Am Not a Human Being II, he won't be locked down on Rikers Island, but he still has his eyes on that #1 spot. " I Am Not A Human Being II, that's what I'm workin' on right now, actually I'm finished. The difference between [this] album and the last I Am Not a Human Being would be the music wasn't rushed," Wayne told MTV News on June 16 in Atlanta after he finished performing at Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash. "Last time the music was rushed because I had to take that eight-month vacation on that island so we had rushed the music, but this time we didn't rush the music."

Lil Wayne wants Drake to end Chris Brown feud

Lil Wayne and his Young Money crew allegedly want Drake to end his feud with singer Chris Brown. Brown and the 'Take Care' rapper were apparently at the centre of a nightclub brawl last week , which resulted in the minor injuries of several bystanders. Sources tell TMZ that Drake has been urged by Lil Wayne and several other members of Young Money to try and reconcile with Brown. Wayne is reportedly afraid that the beef between Drake and Brown will affect business, as Brown sings on several songs with Young Money members, including Nicki Minaj's 'Right By My Side'. Friends close to Drake allege that he is unwilling to extend the olive branch to the 'Beautiful People' singer until Brown acknowledges that he was not at fault for the fight. Attorneys for Brown recently presented evidence to a judge which they claim proves that Drake instigated the incident.

Lil Wayne thinks none of the artists on his record label should be disrespected

He said: "That's a female, first and foremost Nicki Minaj is a female. I don't know what anyone else believes, but I believe females deserve the ultimate respect at all times no matter, when or where or how. "As soon as she called and told me she felt disrespected, I just declined everything. I pulled her from the show because no one that works with me will be disrespected in my presence as long as I'm on this planet." Wayne also pulled his artist DJ Khaled from performing at the same event following the criticism, but he admits he has no bad feelings because of it. He added to MTV News: "I expect the red carpet, in her manner, the pink carpet should be laid out for her. It's just an ex ecutive move, no salt, no bad feelings, no hard feelings."
