Lil Wayne received a citation from Kenner County officials in New Orleans, Louisiana, for failing to maintain the landscaping of his currently-for-sale $1.7 million mansion. In short, Weezy got told to mow his lawn!

The citation was written to Dwayne Carter (Lil Wayne’s given name) sometime between Feb. 26 to March 2.

The Times-Picayune quotes realtor Lincoy Moliere as saying “It’s an immaculate property.” “It’s in great condition. It’s going to make somebody happy.”

The 10,000 sq. foot “celebrity mansion” was originally bought in 2006 for a cool $1.75 million. There are five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool house, a fitness room, a home theater, a salon room, and a four-car garage. The master suite comes with a fireplace and has his and her baths in addition to a steam room sauna and Jacuzzi.

Moliere wouldn’t say if Wayne is currently using the property and he wouldn’t comment on the recent citation.

If you’re ever in the area and want to check out Weezy’s crib, Moliere says he hosts open houses every Sunday from 2-4pm. Just remember that the house doesn’t look like it does in the photo above anymore!

At last weekend’s NBA All-Star Game, Lil Wayne showed up in customary Weezy swag – aka million dollar diamond encrusted headphones. The headphones, from Beats by Dr.Dre and $200 a pop, were taken up a notch by the Young Money rapper and revamped to match his gold-and-diamond bedazzled grill (yes, he actually did this, and yes, pigs do fly).

Of course, Carter is known for his flashy and often confusing garb – the bright green spaceman UGG boots in Drake’s “The Motto” video, the fanny pack episode for B.o.B’s “Strange Clouds“, etc. So really, blinged out headphones are simply Weezy’s way off stepping up his game, you know, his way of showing the world that he’s “top dog” while you’re “top ramen.” Ahem, duh.

The official trailer for Willow Smith’s newest single “Fireball” featuring Nicki Minaj just dropped.

The video was shot last month in Los Angeles. In the 30-second trailer, Smith wears a variety of over-the-top, camouflage inspired, out of this world outfits. As for Minaj, well she wears a dress made out of stuffed animals and rainbow go-go boot covers… I wouldn’t expect anything less, would you?

There’s a lot of dancing and I’m actually excited to see what choreography this video has in store for viewers.

After watching the trailer, I was browsing some of the recent comments on the trailer on YouTube and there are several negative comments focusing on the inclusion of Minaj in this project. Now mind you, Smith is an 11-year-old and Minaj looks like she came out of a modern day, hip-hop fairy tale. Just look at the screenshot above. Minaj doesn’t look raunchy. She in fact, is the epitome of ‘Harajuku Barbie’.

Smith plans to drop her debut album, Willow: You Think You Know Me, this April. Jukebox, a producer who worked with Smith on tracks including “Whip My Hair,” said the album will focus on Smith’s youthfulness.

“Willow is a combination of what ‘Whip My Hair’ was. Willow just isn’t a pop star, she isn’t just an urban artist; she’s very international,” he said. “A lot of her music has a very big influence of everything from rock to pop to hip-hop.”

“It’s just the whole process,” Jukebox added. “You got to think about it: She’s a 10-year-old girl. She’s gotta have a life, she’s gotta be a kid.”

I think Willow Smith is a very talented, mature, and confident young girl. I’ve read articles that have labeled Smith as a child diva, but I really don’t see it. Do you hear about Smith talking smack on other artists or asking for ridiculous wardrobe room demands? She loves music and entertaining, and she’s just extremely lucky to have grown up with two amazing mentors to get the right opportunities. Everyone wishes for the best opportunities. There’s no need to hate on those, especially an 11-year-old girl, who are able to get the best opportunities.

Check out the trailer below. What do you think?

The track is just what I expected from Nicki. It’s raw Nicki just doing her thing. No need for cameos or feature artists here. Although I will say that Nicki’s various voices are starting to get unoriginal. On that note, her dumb faces are starting to get annoying too. Anyone agree with me?

Listen to the track below.

The Harajuku Barbie’s dreams are finally becoming reality.

Hip-hop and rap superstar Nicki Minaj will be immortalized as a hot pink wig-wearing, expensive plastic doll. The Nicki Barbie will be up for auction to benefit charity. The proceeds from the auctioned doll will go to Project Angel Food, an LA-based meal delivery service for patients with HIV and AIDS.

The doll will be available this Wednesday, Dec. 7. Bidding starts at a cool $1,000.

I really don’t think the Nicki Barbie looks that much like Nicki Minaj. I think it’s mainly the eyes that throw off the look. Honestly, if you stripped this Barbie of everything, it would look like any other Barbie. I bet I could recreate the Nicki Barbie if I wanted to, just give me an old Barbie and a gift card to Michaels.

In the end, it’s all for charity. I hope the doll auctions for a lot of money to help all the patients!

Drake has split with ICM (International Creative Management) and the firm will no longer represent the rapper in domestic touring. Last month, Drake was reported to have designated the majority of his representation to WME despite his longtime ties with ICM. A WME rep assured reporters that the Young Money/Cash Money artist will continue to be represented by HHS78, the management team of Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua and Gee Roberson, in addition to WME. HHS78 is known for its A-list clients, including Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.

Why the sudden change? A source explained to the New York Post: “Drake just felt like there were too many hands in his pockets…He was getting pulled in too many different directions.” With the recent success of his Take Care album, it seems that Mr. Graham (aka Drake) is keeping a close watch on his piggy bank.

Nicki Minaj fans, time to get super excited!

Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED will be released this Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14).

The title refers to Minaj’s flamboyant alter ego Roman, who has been described as Minaj’s gay male counterpart.

Roman has made feature appearances on Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge” featuring rapper Eminem and Trey Songz’s “Bottoms Up.”

Minaj tweeted yesterday (Nov. 22), “Pink Friday : ROMAN RELOADED will be released on Valentines Day, 2012. Heeeee’s baaaacccckkkkk.”

To clarify if the new album would be a re-release or include new tracks, Minaj tweeted earlier this morning: “Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED | Valentines Day| 2012 | Not a Re-Release | ALL new tracks | YMCMB | *salutes the nation*”

I’m excited to see what the self-proclaimed harajuku barbie queen (or king?) has whipped up for us next.

In the meantime, fans should expect a new music video from her collaboration with French DJ David Guetta. The Young Money rapper joined David Guetta this week to shoot the video for “Turn Me On” in Los Angeles. “Turn Me On” is off Guetta’s album Nothing But the Beat.

Side-note: If you didn’t already know, Nicki wore a pink fried chicken wing necklace last September for the iHeart Radio Festival. The necklace was created by jewelry brand Onch Movement. I hope that thing isn’t real…

Lil Wayne stopped by his hometown of New Orleans to pass out free turkeys last Friday (Nov. 18). He joined fellow Young Money Cash Money Billionaires (YMCMB) members Birdman and Slim along with a few others. This year marked the 16th anniversary for the annual tradition.

“It’s actually been my first time back here for the past eight or nine years and they’ve been doing this for fifteen years,” Weezy told MTV News. “Me just being super busy, always on tour or something like that. But this is amazing, especially experiencing it now from this point of view, a 29-year-old perspective of a person with everything—not everything—a person with the things that he needs in place.”

“I’m able to give. Those times I did it years ago, I was just a kid and I was just doing it because Baby and Slim, we were giving away turkeys at a park,” he said. “Now it’s a totally different feeling because I can actually give you that and say here, ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’ and I can provide that for you. That’s a different feeling in general and it’s a beautiful feeling overall.”
