I hit a couple stops on Lil Wayne’s Amerika’s Most Wanted Tour, including the kickoff (on my birthday!) on 7/27 in Scranton, PA. (Sadly I didn’t see any landmarks from The Office, LOL.)

Fun fact: Backstage at the Scranton stop, Tyga’s BFF/hypeman Trell was freaking the f*ck out because it was his first time ever outside of his Cali hometown. Meanwhile, Amber Rose was inviting all of us to her birthday party, LOL.

Another fun fact: I brought French with me to the Long Island stop. The kids freaked out at the hotel afterward when they met Nicki Minaj and they asked for her autograph, and because French had a big chain and just looked like a rapper, they got his autograph too. Pretty sure they didn’t know him. LOL!

In April 2009, I helped Mizay Ent. coordinate Nicki Minaj’s press run for her new mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty. We’d connected when I interviewed Nicki for AllHipHop.com, and they’d reached back out when Nick had to come to NYC for press – as the firm is Atlanta based.

I made a lot of good friends over the course of these few days from the stops we made including Rahim the Dream (at Vlad TV at the time), Lowkey and Andreas Hale (at BET at the time) and Shaheem Reid and Rahman Dukes (at MTV at the time.)

Lil Wayne headed out on the road with Keyshia Cole, T-Pain and a few others for the I AM Music Tour in late 2008. I attended the D.C., Baltimore and Memphis stops. (I just so happened to be in Memphis at the time for the 2009 SEA Awards.)
