Lil Wayne Says He "Loves" And "Misses" Trina [VIDEO]

Latifah Muhammad — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:15:54 +0000

It looks like Weezy wants that old thing back. The rapper hit up Miami's LIV nightclub for a Mother's Day celebration over the weekend and the only thing on his mind was Trina. Wayne and Trina were an item a few years ago, but haven't really spoken about each other in public in a while. Aside from making lots of babies, Wayne also has a girlfriend. Meanwhile, his former lady is heavy on her rap hustle, and just launched a lipstick line.

During his appearance at the venue, Kobe's No. 1 fan grabbed the mic and asked for his ex. "Is Trina in here? Where is Trina?" he said. Luckily for him, the Diamond Princess just happened to be in the building, as he professed his love.

Check the video after the jump.

7 Female Rap Beefs (That Didn't Involve Lil Kim)

Latifah Muhammad — Fri, 11 May 2012 23:14:59 +0000

Try as she might to keep the focus on her music, Lil Kim just keeps getting dragged into rap beef. Sure the Queen Bee is known to clap back at just about any other female rapper who steps to her, but now that she's older she's trying to keep it professional.

After putting her issues with Nicki Minaj behind her and reaching out to fellow MC of the moment, Azealia Banks, the Brooklyn native found herself smack dab in the middle of a rift with the aforementioned newcomer, via Twitter. Rather than engaging in the foolery, Kim opted to keep her mouth closed until Banks tired herself out. In honor of the ever present female rap beef that has been littering your Twitter screens as of late, we here at Hip-Hop Wired decided to open up the vault to the female rap beef of yesteryear. Check out seven other rap beefs, that didn't involve Lil Kim.

Hip-Hop Wired Presents: A Tribute To BET Uncut

Kazeem Famuyide (@RealLifeKaz) — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:08:14 +0000

Six years. It's been six long years since the last episode of the legendary BET Uncut aired on July 8th, 2006. The series that spawned cult classics and made major label artists go back to the drawing board to appeal to the shows ever growing audience. Without a doubt the most controversial show in the history of Black Entertainment Television, BET Uncut, marked a cultural shift in the way we see music videos, musical related content, and where we draw the line of decency when it comes to Hip-Hop.

Without the popular show to house all of these videos, where would a internet juggernaut like WorldStar be? Would an artist like Lil' Jon have become as popular as he did? Will we ever know what that thang smell like? Will we ever see another credit card slide down a woman's buttcrack? All questions that demand answers. With news breaking out that Nelly and T.I. are ready to release the sequel to the show's most popular and controversial video, "Tip Drill," let's look back at some of the most notable videos in the history of BET Uncut. Think we missed one of your favorite videos? Let us know down below.

Trina Says She Doesn't Mind Kreayshawn & V-Nasty Using The N-Word

Danielle Canada — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:04:59 +0000

Rapper Trina is speaking on a what's been a recent hot topic, white rappers that use the n-word in their rhymes.

As previously reported, the internet was in an uproar after white femcee V-Nasty released a video where she proudly used the word to refer to herself and her friends.

Her affiliate and white girl mob member Kreayshawn has also been catching flack for the same thing.

Now in an in a new interview, Trina's speaking on the subject and blowing it off.

According to the 'baddest' it's not a big deal, just a matter of respect.

“I don't see what the big deal about it is,” she tells BET. “It's a matter of respect, if you're not being disrespectful, if you're not doing it in a racist way…I'm not really the person that care's too much about all that.”

She also adds that there are much more important issues at hand.

"It's so much more serious stuff going on in life. Let's worry about voting for Barack Obama for president again. I don't think the N-word is such a big deal, we've been saying it for years, decades, white, blacks, Hispanic, Jamaican, Haitian, Chinese whatever. It is what it is, we didn't create it, we didn't start it and we're not going to be the last to say it. It's going to continue on and on and on so we just need to focus on what's important."
