Lil Wayne Refuses To Be Searched At Fashion Rocks

We already know Lil Wayne was in New York for his impending court appearance but he was also supposed to be performing at the 200 Fashion Rocks event. So what was in Wayne's bag that had him so spooked that he wouldn't let security touch him?

Seems that the rapper left when he found out he’d have to go through security. “When Lil’ Wayne showed up to perform in the show - and he showed up on time - he was carrying a bag and refused, point blank, to go through security,” one senior production person told The New York Post.

“Everyone else - including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock - went through security, and we couldn’t make an exception. He’s obviously not a Boy Scout and has a history with drugs and guns. “But he wouldn’t budge and refused to have his bag searched or have a security wand passed over him. Then he started getting abusive: ‘I don’t need your [bleeping] show - I’m leaving if you make me do this.’ So he had to leave.

Honestly, I think we can all guess what was in the bag or maybe dude was just a little over paranoid... you know those drugs are one helluva thang!

The report continues as saying, “He got back in the car we’d paid for and drove off. Minutes later, we got frantic calls from his management and record label begging us to have him back. We said, ‘OK, we have an opening at 7 p.m.’ The next thing you know, Wayne’s people are saying, ‘Can we do a bit later. He’s not going to be ready.’ “We had a crew of 250 people waiting for him . . . Then he calls at, like, 9:30 and says, ‘I’m five blocks away,’ which is like 500 blocks away in New York traffic, so we just pulled the plug. It was just so disrespectful to the crew and to the 5,000 audience members. Unbelievable.”

Lil’ Wayne’s manager didn’t return calls. Meanwhile, the rapper attended a Manhattan court hearing yesterday on whether cops violated his rights after a concert with Ja Rule at the Beacon last November. That’s when they stopped and boarded his tour bus and found him sitting on a bed in his boxers, allegedly tossing a Louis Vuitton bag containing a 9mm gun to the floor, The Post’s Laura Italiano reports.

Weezy needs help... he's taking that whole rock star thing too far. The drugs.... im just saying, no one wants to hear a Kurt Cobain story in reference to Weezy.

dude is alot more talent sober, his music was better (IMO) in his MORE sober years, not saying that he was ever totally sober...
