In another clip sent exclusively to MTV News by Weezy and his trusted videographer, we see Wayne as he learns of his sentencing delay. The clip begins with Wayne stepping off a private jet and walking into a waiting van. Later Weezy leaves his hotel, riding toward Manhattan — while in the Lincoln Tunnel, Weezy’s road manager E.I. informs him there’s been a fire at the court building.
“There’s been a fire in the court. I have one more day of freedom. For now, y’all keep it real, ’cause I will,” Wayne said.
“I’m ready. I’m all smiles,” he continued, pointing to his teeth. “They can’t break my strength. They can only lock me up physically. They can’t lock up my mind. They can’t lock up my heart. They can only take my time because the law alowws them to. Time is precious, but love is life. So therefore in the end my love will prevail.”

In the latest clip to come into MTV News from Wayne and his videographer DJ Scoob Doo, the Cash Money MC takes us on a trip to Miami, where he shot scenes for Diddy-Dirty Money’s new video “Strobe Lights.”
“I’m the hardest-working man in show business,” Wayne said on the way to the set. “Shout-out my n—a James Brown. Young Wayne Carter.
“Look at the attitude, though,” he continues with a buoyant swagger. “This is what you artists need to catch. Look at the attitude. No drugs, no nothing — I ain’t even get no p—-. I go away in two days, I ain’t even get no p—-.”
After Wayne goes in to shoot his video, we see him leave and go back to his Miami estate.
“There you have it. Nino. I don’t know how many videos we did,” he said. “But y’all saw it. Now I’m back where we started. I’m about to get my bottom grills and we party tonight. Nino! @liltunechi.”
Sunday night Wayne held a farewell party at Club Liv with his Cash Money/ Young Money family members such as Shanell, Mack Maine, Bow Wow and the #1 Stunna, Birdman. – MTV

MTV just let loose another clip from Lil Wayne’s Nino Brown: The Road To Rikers Pt. 2. Wayne talks about shooting more videos before he’s forced to turn himself in very soon.
One of the videos of the night was for the Rebirth track “Runnin.”
“I’mma show y’all the [work] ethic of a true artist,” Wayne says in the clip. “You know what I’m talkin’ about? Seven videos. I shot 10 in two days before. Now we about to do seven in one night. ['Runnin'] was one. Next we about to do Drake’s song called ‘Afrika Boombatta.’ ”
The New Orleans Fireman then began mulling over his wardrobe for Drake’s shoot. He was deciding between one of his brand-new tees promoting his Twitter account, “@liltunechi,” or a funky interpretation of deceased legend Marilyn Monroe.
“Gotta wear one of my ‘@liltunechi’ shirts on there,” Wayne said. ” ‘Cause that song is a fun song. So I could wear that. Then again it’s Drake, so you might wanna get a little fly for his sh–.”
Wayne then pulled out a T-shirt featuring Monroe with tattoos all over her arm.
“Yeah, that’s stupid,” the Birdman Jr. said of the Monroe shirt. “I might have to rock that.”
This latest clip of Wayne starts with the acclaimed performer showing off all the BET Hip-Hop Awards in his house. Later he says he needs more VMAs.
“I got a house full of BET Awards,” Wayne said with a grin. “I got one MTV Award. MTV, holla atcha boy now. I’m not gonna mess up your function. I’m just gonna come get my award, thank God, thank my ‘hood, thank my fam. I ain’t gotta perform.
“Give me an award for nothin’,” he continued with a chuckle. ” ‘The award for nothin’ goes to Lil Wayne.’ That’s all I need. MTV Award for nothin’, man.”

Here’s a clip from MTV of Lil Wayne’s upcoming Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers Pt. 1 captured by DJ Scoop Doo where he will be giving fans a look into his life as he prepares to do time in jail in just three days.
Wayne plugs his twitter:
“This is for my real fans,” Wayne said. “People who wanna know what I be doin’. I’mma let y’all in.”
From there, Wayne, who recently tweeted that he was giving up Twitter (although he’s tweeted since then), urged his fans to follow him at his page, “@liltunechi.”
He talks about wanting more followers than Drake.
“I just opened that up,” Weezy said. “I got almost 200,000 followers. I need more followers. I saw Drake had like 400,000 followers. I need more followers than Drake.”
And gives a little insight on how he got his “Lil Tunechi” nickname.
“My nickname is Lil Tune — my grandmother named me that,” he explained. “She’s passed. My grandmother, her name was Mercedes Carter. She named me Lil Tune. We just threw the ‘Chi’ on there. Like Gucci, I say ‘Tunechi!’ “
After the jump, MTV catches up with Nicki Minaj where she gives Lil Wayne some Twitter advice.

Fresh off of celebrating the New Orleans Saints’ Superbowl XLIV win, Birdman’s in the 504 to celebrate his birthday bash. How old did he turn? Who really knows. He’s still the best rapper over 55 years old.
Thanks, DG.
