DX News Bits: Lil Wayne, Romeo

    Currently serving an eight-month sentence at New York’s Rikers Island for gun possession, New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne has formally been given the task of keeping a watch on suicidal inmates.

    “Wayne has a job — they got him on suicide watch for other prisoners,” ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Johnson told US Weekly.  Johnson, who is the mother of Wayne’s 11-year-old daughter, added, “He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don’t kill themselves. He likes the job even though they don’t pay him much.”

    Fans of the Young Money rapper can keep up with his status in prison here, where Lil Wayne plans to blog about his experience.

    In other news, rapper Romeo has joined the It’s Time Kids organization as a spokesperson for their new school campaign tour “It’s Time To Fatten Our Brains Not Our Bodies.”

    The tour, which begins on April 23 at 61st Street Elementary School in Los Angeles, aims to educate kids about eating healthy. Using his celebrity status to spread a positive message, Romeo explained, “It is an honor and privilege for me to be the national spokesperson for It’s Time Kids. This organizations purpose is to build a society that helps to motivate our young people to aspire for greatness, by being fit and healthy through education, entertainment and music.”

      1. HES FAKE GAY(LITERALY) AND UNTALENTED(BUYS HIS RAPS)…. JUS BOUT EVERY REASON U NEED TO HATE A GANGSTER RAPPER

    4. Good to see Romeo doing some positive work in a area our country desperately needs work in. Looks like Master P raised a good lil dude. My only question is why this was posted second to Wayne and his “job” in prison? I know the Wayne fanatics want to know whenever he washes his draws but this shit is ridiculous. DX, let this cat do his bid and spare us from his daily routine. There is alot more going on in hip hop….

    5. Big up to Romeo, educated kids on healthy eating is a good thing. Most of these ignorant niggaz on here will dwell on negative shit than the positive coz there brains can’t get past the hate, you too wayne keep them niggaz from killing themselves.
