Lil Wayne Ordered to Pay Over $5 Million to IRS
Lil Wayne is in trouble with the government yet again. Though the Young Money boss recently paid off a $1.13 million tax lien in Dade County, Fla., in November 2010, he has reportedly been hit
with another IRS bill, this time for a whopping $5,610,034.
The IRS has been hounding Wayne for unpaid income taxes for years, filing a lien against the rapper back in 2008, going after his One Family Foundation charity in June 2010, for the years 2004, 2005 and 2007. Now the government is seeking more than $5.6 million for income earned during the years 2008 and 2009.
According to the new lien, Wayne owes $3,335,077.95 for revenue earned in the year 2008, and $2,258,956.04 for 2009. The address listed on the lien, which can be viewed here, is Weezy's $12.9 million, 15,101-square-foot mansion on a private Miami island, which is apparently for sale.
Wayne is currently listed as a self-employed small business owner. His long awaited new album, 'Tha Carter IV,' hits stores May 16

Lil Wayne Admits He Loves 'Jersey Shore' (interview)
In a recent interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, Lil Wayne discussed life after prison, sober living and his new favorite show, 'Jersey Shore.'
Though he was incarcerated during the second season of the popular MTV reality show, Wayne told Angie that he's since made up for lost time. "On the real, I just started watching 'Jersey Shore,'" Wayne explained. "You can ask them, I'm mad I missed out. And then the other day Vinny had on a 'Free Weezy' shirt, I rocks with 'Jersey Shore,' man."
In particular, Wayne said that he "rocks with" the ladies of the 'Shore,' though diminutive fireball Snooki did not get love from the Young Money boss. "I like Deena and I like Angelina and, um, Jenni," Wayne revealed. "Now if I catch one of them, it's on."
Weezy also gave props to several male members of the cast, marveling at the way they bring girls home from the club. "I like they swag. I like Pauly D swag and Vinny's swag. I ain't really on Ronnie and Mike like that," Wayne said. "I like the fact that they set the trend you supposed to live by as a young male in this world. They go to the club, and they really come back with something like every time. Every time, fool. That's my favorite show right there."
In the interview, which aired March 29, Wayne further revealed that he works too hard to listen to Drake and Nicki Minaj's albums, and that retiring at 35 would be "enough" for his career. "People think that when you say you work hard, they think you put two extra hours in. This is my life," he explained. "That's why retiring at 35 would be a life lived, because this music thing is my life. So retiring at 35 would be enough. I'm 28."

Nicki Minaj Gives Lil Wayne a Lap Dance on Stage (VIDEO)
The average person probably wouldn't give their boss a lap dance, but Nicki Minaj is far from average.
Minaj hit up the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, N.Y., on Sunday, March 27, with Lil Wayne, as part of his I Am Music II tour. While performing cuts off 'Pink Friday,' Minaj gave the New Orleans native and her Young Money boss a little treat.
"You got three rules, legs open, hands behind your back, mouth shut. Let's go!" Minaj told a clearly ecstatic Wayne, as he sat waiting for his dance. After the fact, the rapper was apparently so excited that he fell out of his chair. Minaj then went back to performing her feature on Sean Kingston's 'Letting Go (Dutty Love).'
Watch the video
The 26-year-old New York native, who has had a whirlwind of a year since coming out as the star female of the Young Money crew, was happy to give her hometown a show to remember and thankful for what she got in return.
"Dear New York, you gave me life tonite," Minaj tweeted. "You were amazzzingggg. U are EVERYTHING. U have no idea. Best homecoming ever!"
Next up, the Young Money crew will head out to University Park, Penn., on Wednesday, March 30. The I Am Music II tour wraps up April 29 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Paris Hilton Interviews Lil Wayne About Prison
Lil Wayne and Paris Hilton aren't exactly peas in a pod, but that didn't stop Interview magazine from pairing the two together for a chat about life, music, family and jail.
Lil Wayne spent eight months of 2010 in prison -- something Hilton is familiar with, to a lesser extent -- and has been enjoying time with his four children since being released.
"My main thing is to chill with my kids," Weezy tells Paris. "They live with their moms, but they're always with me."
Wayne is renowned for his tireless work ethic, and with 12-year-old daughter Reginae, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. "My daughter loves to work, as well -- she loves to record and stuff -- so I like to work with her."
Also, Lil Wayne has two pet sharks. Read on for more interview excerpts.
On solitary confinement in jail: "For me it was okay, because it just meant that I was alone with my thoughts. There were times when it was pretty tough to be by yourself, and to have no television, no sort of nothing. That was kind of tough. But I didn't have to be in there long. It was just a month. I was okay. I did fine."
On life after jail: "You're definitely more in tune to what you're doing. You're definitely more humble. I think that most people who come out of that situation just want to make the most of life afterwards. Honestly it was just one big humbling experience."
Lil Wayne on living up to his self-proclaimed best rapper alive title: "It's very exciting. I love pressure, so I guess if that brings forth pressure, then I'm up for it. But, you know, titles are titles, and names are names. As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me."
Does he worry about offensive lyrical content? "No. That's one thing about me, and I think that's what most of my fans enjoy about me, that I don't hold nothing back. I do exactly what I want to do, and say exactly what I want to say. Sometimes I consider the fact that I have a daughter, but I also think about the realities of the world, and just let her know that this is the reality and this world is crazy and there are people out there that are a certain kind of way. I mean, once I get through that hump, then, like I said, I just say what's on my mind."
On rapping about money, sex, violence: "Music is a reflection of who you are, and if those things that you mentioned are what your music is all about, then I guess that's who you are. I mean, I think it's just that simple. You have to be someone who is able to speak about different things. I speak about what I speak about, and I guess that's because I'm a crazy-ass n***a. [Hilton laughs] Kanye [West] speaks about a lot of different things, but that's because of who he is. You have Jay-Z, and he speaks about more corporate things, and I'm quite sure he's a pretty corporate guy. But I guess it's all who you are."
Hilton's goals for 2010: "I'd really love to finish my album, because I've been working on it for so long, but I've had so many other projects that it's hard to focus on one thing. I'd also love to just continue doing my businesses, and be more confrontational with people, because I let a lot of people get away with stuff because I don't say anything. So, personally, I wish that I would be stronger with people."
Weezy's goals for 2010: "I want to bank a cool $50 million at least. At the end of this year, I want to be able to say that I banked $50 million. Not generated $50 million, but actually banked $50 million."
