Lil Wayne making movies
Looks like Lil Wayne is looking to break into Hollywood like many of his rapping contemporaries.
The Cash money Millionaire has allegedly been shooting a movie in his home city New Orleans with label boss Baby Williams, who Wayne considers his father.
The movie titled Like Father Like Son will be released around the same time as the album the two are working on of the same title.
Lil Wayne also cancelled more shows this week after leaving a string of disappointed fans throughout New York and Boston last weekend. The reasons for the canceled shows are due to insufficient provisions for the rapper and his entourage it is being reported.
