The Young Money family, including Nicki Minaj, Drake, Gudda Gudda and Mack Maine were in the building, as well as Wayne’s Hot Boys partner B.G. and, of course, the Birdman. While the crew celebrated the Super Bowl victory of their home team the New Orleans Saints, the mood at the party had an undercurrent of sadness, as everyone was aware of Wayne’s fate. Last week, Minaj discussed her feelings about Weezy’s sentence with MTV News.

“It’s sad, because he doesn’t deserve to go to jail,” Minaj said about Wayne’s legal situation. “I’m a crybaby,” she added, fighting back tears. “You shouldn’t ask me stuff like that. Reality hasn’t set in that he has to go to jail. He shouldn’t have to go to jail.”- MTV

Word? “Doesn’t deserve to go to jail?” Sure, maybe if he’s being wrongly imprisoned. But the last time I checked, it was illegal to get caught with illegal narcotics and armaments. much less get caught more than once. Not saying I wish ol’ boy gets filet mignoned in prison, but come on now. Do I feel he should go to jail for breaking the law? Yes. Isn’t that why there are jails to begin with? I’m with LowKey on this one: “I have no remorse.”

Speaking to Hip Hollywood, Trevor says that his next album is tentatively scheduled for a 4th Of July drop. My opinion? He shouldn’t drop albums with such frequency, because the content… well, it kind of sucks. Just saying. “Throw the Water on ‘Em?” Dope. But I can’t even tell you that first single from his last album.
