    Lisa Ford / May 16, 2012

    Lil Wayne got on the mic and shouted out that he still loves rapper Trina at Club LIV in Miami 5/13/12. I usually don't get into artist's personal lives on this site, but I'm posting this because Trina is one of our Miami's own and we just wanna make sure that she ends up with the right person and is represented well. I think Trina and Lil Wayne would make a good couple...Trina would be good for his 'gangsta' image. Lil Wayne To Trina: "I…

    This Chicago TEEN is taking over the rap game right now! Just like the city he reps, CHIEF KEEF, goes HARD, and the catch? He's authentic.
