Lil Wayne & Young Money are Releasing Prepaid Discover Cards
Lil Wayne’s label is moving forward with plans to release a line of credit cards, this time through ACCENT InterMedia.
Young Money Entertainment has announced plans to release the Young Money Prepaid Discover® Card that can bee purchased online at www.youngmoneycards.com.
The concept for the Young Money Card was developed by Horace Madison, founder of Madison Strategic Integration and business manager for Lil Wayne and Young Money, along with card-veteran Buddy Smith.
“We’re excited about giving people who may not have access to traditional banking accounts the convenience of plastic,” said Madison in a statement.
“Wayne wants to keep it simple and sleek, but load it with benefits that are meaningful to Young Money cardholders.”
Tim Clark, CEO of ACCENT also released a statement saying,
“Young Money artists have such a strong following, as demonstrated by their 50 million and growing fan count in social networks. We are excited to be working with such a powerful brand.”
Makers of the card boast that they’re keeping fees to a minimum and the card only has six fee types, including a $6.95 card purchase fee, with $3.95 monthly maintenance thereafter.
The program is also supporting charitable causes with a portion of the proceeds from every card sold to benefit non-profit organizations including Lil Wayne’s One Family Foundation.

Ludacris found a unique way to spend some of his hard earned money GWOP when he rented out the Atlanta Motor Speedway so he could take his Ferrari 458 Italia for a spin with no speed limits.
“If you don’t drive that on a track, that’s like buying an X-Box and only watching movies on it and not playing any damn games,” Luda said. “That is a racing car. That’s why we’re out here today.” Checkout video below:

R.I.P. Big Pun
Born Christopher Lee Rios (November 10, 1971 – February 7, 2000), better known by his stage name Big Pun (short for Big Punisher), was a American rapper who emerged from the underground rap scene in The Bronx in the late 1990s. He first appeared on albums from The Beatnuts, on the track “Off the Books” in 1997, and on Fat Joe’s second album Jealous One’s Envy in 1995, on the track “Watch Out”, prior to signing to Loud Records as a solo artist. Pun’s lyrics are notable for technical efficiency, having minimal pauses to take a breath, heavy use of alliteration as well as internal and multi-syllabic rhyming schemes. Big Pun died of a heart attack at age 28.

Behind the scenes Photo Shoot for upcoming Reality series “Dirtee Money”
Atlanta, GA – What do you get when you move a socialite, a media mogul and a Jackie-Of-All-Trades from Detroit to the ATL? You get “Dirtee Money”. This new Atlanta based reality series follows native Detroiters Dave Bishop, Fauna Burks and Sharonda Taylor as they steady rock from the Big D to the Peach Tree State.
The series chronicles the rising stars as they use their “D” game to bring about their soon to be undeniable “A” game. The three use principles learned from the hard, unforgiving streets of Detroit City to navigate through Atlanta’s southernplayalistic persona—and do so with all the flair and over-the-topness of Detroit royalty.
