Rumour has it Jay-Z has now successfully signed Lil Wayne to his Roc Nation label, paying his current label, Cash Money, $5m to get him out of his existing recording contract. A source told MediaTakeOut "The deal was in the works for a while; they just needed to get on the same page as to price. And [everyone's] there now".
Meanwhile, Wayne has failed to show up at a gig in Boston where he was due to play alongside Ne-Yo, Brandy, Yung Berg and his reported new label boss Jay-Z. The rapper was supposed to appear at a radio station organised Monster Jam event, but, according to the Boston Herald, was "unable or unwilling" to make his way through the event's security, so pulled out of the show last minute. No official comment from Wayne's people as yet.
