Despite some recent controversy and a backslide in buzz (mostly due in part to the excessive pushing back of Rebirth), Lil’ Wayne is back in the headlines for breaking records.
This time, the Cash Money superstar broke the record for the highest gross for any Hip-Hop tour ever (that Billboard has tracked). According to a Reuters report, the dreadlocked rapper, who made quite a sizable media splash after the success of his massive-selling Tha Carter III, has raked in $42 Million over a 78-performance North American tour between Dec of 2008 and Sep of 2009.
No word yet on what Weezy plans to spend the money on, but conventional wisdom says cough syrup. But if he really wants to make the transition to stadium rock- how about some damn guitar lessons, Wayne?
