Lil Wayne is not taking his foot off the pedal. Rumor has it that he is prepping another album for a summer release and more.

Complex is reporting that Weezy might have another project in the works. While the details have yet to surface the clues are apparently right in front of our faces. Earlier this week the “Uproar” rapper announced an upcoming tour with Blink-182. When fans hit Ticketmaster and purchased their passes they were pleasantly surprised with a prompt saying “Each ticket comes with “a physical CD per order” of either “blink-182’s or Lil Wayne’s forthcoming album.”

Additionally TuneChi has been dropping coffin emojis throughout all of his recent social media posts which alludes to his much delayed Funeral album.

In other Wayne news it seems he has parted ways from his longtime partners and managers Cortez Bryant and Mack Maine. As spotted on Vibe the New Orleans native apparently terminated the services of his childhood friends prior to the release of his last effort Tha Carter 5. Carter’s former attorney Ron Sweeney has filed a lawsuit against the two claiming they conspired to get him fired.

The Blast reports “Sweeney claims he worked with Lil Wayne for nearly 14 years and provided around-the-clock services to the rapper for 10% of the income of the deals he worked on. He believes he helped Wayne and his businesses generate tens — if not hundreds — of millions of dollars over time.”

While Bryant nor Maine have formally commented on whether or not they still handle Weezy’s affairs their personal IG pages indicate everything is business is as usual. Cortez’s last couple of posts show him out and about during the NFL draft representing the Young Money Sports agency.

Nicki Minaj and Management Team Mutually Part Ways

Amid recent career struggles, a new report reveals that Nicki Minaj has decided to part ways with her longtime management team. The exclusive report from Variety revealed that the 36-year-old lyricist and her management team of Gee Roberson, Cortez Bryant and Blueprint/ Maverick Management have mutually decided to separate.

Neither party has released any further details regarding the split, however, the “Chun-Li” rapper has seen a good amount of negative press recently despite dropping a successful fourth album.

Fans will remember her New York Fashion Week dispute with Cardi B that resulted in some online shots from both sides. Nicki also went after Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner when the ‘Sicko Mode’ rapper’s ‘Astroworld’ album earned the number 1 spot on Billboard beating out Nicki’s ‘Queen’ album, which Nicki has disputed as being inaccurate.

The multi-platinum rapper has also struggled to execute her latest tour, which could be part of the reason Minaj and her management decided to part ways. Since the announcement, artists like Future dropped out of the tour.

This is not the only change in the tour.

Future and Tekashi 6ix9ine were both originally supposed to tour with Nicki overseas, and now neither will perform with her. Since Future decided to drop out of the tour and 6ix9ine is incarcerated, Nicki was left with the rising star, Juice Wrld.

Not only did the acts change, but Minaj caught a lot of flack for canceled shows that her team claimed was related to technical issues at different venues. The Variety report says that Minaj and her management team made the decision prior to Nicki’s performance at Coachella.
