After his performance with 2 Chainz at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, Lil Wayne hosted a launch party for his Beats Pro headphones at the Playhouse nightclub in Los Angeles.
In attendance were, of course, Dr. Dre and Interscope head honcho Jimmy Iovine. The event was full of star power, however, with Wiz Khalifa, A-Track, DJ Drama, Machine Gun Kelly, French Montana, and more.
After the event, Wayne released his new song “No Worries,” which he performed at the VMAs, on iTunes.
Below is an image of an advertisement from the event, spotted at theUrbanDaily.com:

How long will the earphone trend last?
As long as iPads, iPods, iPhones etc and other portable media devices are around… a long fucking time
Beats by Gay (YMCMB)
LOL beats by gay
I don’t get it.
Lil Wayne leaves the rap game for skating, then comes out with “Dedication” 4… Pretty ironic especially as it was delayed because of his lack of dedication to rap. He even said that he was bored of rap…
And now all this Dedication stuff?
Dude is not dedicated at all.
I’m no wayne sympathizer but he said he was gonna take a break from rap after he released dedication 4
Seriously? Dude’s been working non-stop for the last 10 years. Just because he has invested his recent time to a new passion that writes off his dedication? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?
he hasnt been working non stop for the last 10 yrs, remember he took a little break to go to prison
Anotha way wayne can take udumb asses money
*Comes with a complimentary cup of lean
wayne can have all the money in the world but he still cant skate for shit
beats by lil Gayne in stores now !
Lil Wayne will destroy Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and Ludacris. da King of Hip Hop will rule da headphones business. lmao
You’re fake since there’s no swag at the end.
if i see anyone with some Lil Gayne headphones on, they getting knocked the fuck out n robbed
Insult him, the admit that you would rob the headphones. I smell jealousy and poorness
Fuck you nigga, what you need them headphones for?
Go for it and rob me of my beats studios, my 90 pound husky is always with me and i carry a big knife so better carry a gun , then your ass is in jail over headphones
Ja Rule’s headphone line is still better
Where can I find them?
i hear ja rules headphones are big in prison
^ Yes it is it’s called Beats Behind Bars by Ja Rule
lmao @ everybody releasing their own headphones now
shit’s starting to get corny
Thought since they were Wayne’s they would have zebra stripes and have fur on them
This shits lame now. Wayne does everything they tell him to. They use him like a washed up whore. You ant Dre my nig!
Great, now every rapper has a line of headphones. What an original move, Wayne.
…all from the same company. lol
So THAT’S why he was wearing Beats during the VMAs.
why would a person seriously show up to an award show wearing headphones? like how disrespectful can you be
i seen him courtside at the ball games listening to his ipod too, fuckin joker
List of niggas that have a line of headphones:
Dr Dre – Beats by Dre
50 Cent – SYNC
Ludacris – Soul by Ludacris
Ice Cube – Solo by Cube
Lil Wayne – Beats Pro
Rick Ross – Maybach Phones
Drake – Gayness by DraKKKe
Eminem – Honkyness
Fuck you talking about I never heard of no Maybach phones you a phony nigga
rza got some headphones too dawg, wu-tang foreva
He is making up half of these headphones, if eminem was to do a headphone it would probably be some model of beats. and non ones buying rza’s headphones. i havent seen one person buying any of those except beats honestly. everyone hates on beats but they are nice looking and good for hip hop music i just wished wayne wasnt added as a spokesperson.
50’s headphones are SLEEK, not SYNC and Lil Waynes are still beats by dre.
no sleek aint happening no more he suing them, its sms by 50 cent now
This shit tired as fuck these niggas launching headphones all the time but they all have the same quality
Fuck this suing ass nigga, next thing you know he’s gonna sue Dre for selling more headphones than him.
lol
Lil Wayne sucks, but saying “Lil Gayne” is corny..
no
“Where can I find them?”
At Kmart.
I’d rather have Ja Rule’s “Beats Behind Bars” headphones instead of Wayne’s headphones
Me too.
HAHAHA. I love the fact the slogan is DEDICATION when just a month ago he said he was bored with rap and is putting it on hold. FUCK WAYNE
dedicated to the money
he a corporate slave
dedicated*
dedicated*
and fuck wayne
Curtis Jackson gonna b mad as hell.LOOOOOOL.
I don’t people understand that Dre and Jimmy are getting a cut of this, it’s not Wayne doing his own thing.
HAHAHAHAH!!! Y’all already know about that? Amber Rose just got pregnant LMAO
All you niggas need to stop hating Lil Wayne…. He’s the Best Rapper Alive… Entrepreneur… Father…. Actor.. And mentor
So what he’s going to make billions of dollars off of his new line of headphones, we all know he’s a genius
Rebirth classic
500 degrees classic
C4 classic
Based God!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I agree that he may be the best “ACTOR” in rap.
Yea….. And your “Mother” is a good actor as well, when I said lights, camera, action… She sucked my dick for 60 seconds and swallowed all of my mintuemaid!!!
Based God!!!!!!!!!
These comments have turned into such a joke. Maybe 1 or 2 comments out of 50 are worth reading. smh
Eat a dick and stay off this website
Based God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOSE > BEATS
TRADITIONAL > TRENDY
Agree. BOSE priced that much for reason, while Beats by Dr.Dre are like Apple – no doubt that they are great, but there are products on the market with significantly better price/value ratio. Even if you can’t be act the fashionable douchebag with them.
HAHAHA. You must be joking. Bose headphones are the original “costs way more they are worth headphones”. As far as being overpriced and overrated, Bose is no different than Beats.
If you’re going to condemn a company, don’t name one that is just as guilty.
this knee grow just gotta launch himself outta this planet!
sooo hope waynes not on detox if we ever see it
He was wearing these during the VMA’s like a douche. Fuck this guy.
They should have done this deal a few years back. Beats headphones have lost their lustre, and Lil Waynes reign at the top of hiphop is over. They’ll make money but half what they could 2-3 years ago
The Beats headphones haven’t lost their luster lol.
hey google this group. BABYLON FEAT. YUNG RIDAZ ‘FLY HIGH’
Wackest song I ever heard in my life.
WHatever you do, don’t listen to that wack shit
That song gave me aids.
“if i see anyone with some Lil Gayne headphones on, they getting knocked the fuck out n robbed”
Look at what a nigga comes down to, robbing niggas over A FUCKING HEADPHONE LMAO
Lil Gayne! Hilarious! I have nothing against gays, though.
them headphones gonna b dope as fuck
but on a lighter note
i bust a nutt on the walls and let it crust over and peel the paint off just to piss my mom off
FUCK JA RULE, HURRICANE CHRIS IS THE LAST HOPE FOR HIP HOP, THINK ABOUT IT, HES MORE LYRICAL THAN JAY Z AND SLAUGHTERHOUSE, HE RESSURECTED DEATH ROW RECORDS, HE DROPPED STAT QUO, CASHIS AND BOBBY CREEK FROM ROCAFELLA RECORDS, HE WON THE BEEF BETWEEN HIM AND SOULJA BOY, HE WRITES LIL WAYNES RAPS, AND HIS PUBIC HAIR HAS MAGICAL MATERIALS THAT MAKES GRASS GROW TWICE THE SPEED AS WATER, HURRICANE CHRIS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THAT NIGGA, FROM HIT SINGLES LIKE WIPE ME DOWN AND DID IT ON EM, HURRICANE CHRIS HAS SHOWN US TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT MAINSTREAM RAP IS THE CURE FOR HIP HOP, WHY WANT UNDERGROUND HIP HOP?

Greateast M.C/ Lyricist of all time
Illmatic
Reasonable Doubt
Ready to Die

Based God!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought “I’m Gay” was an album, not a mixtape, dumbass
Beats by Dre are the biggest Hipster headphones ever… BOSE ALL DAY!
This idiot is doing anything he can to stay relevant. I can’t belive that Dre went to this event!
people like you make him relevant.
Panasonic DJS400 for only $30.
your welcome
rappers are all followers…they don’t have any fresh ideas or business ventures that will allow themselves to gain profit for the next sum odd years
um, last time i checked, headphones were created way back in like 1920, so dr dre and 50 cent didn’t create nothing. why don’t you create a new hip hop website, instead of just doing like everyone else, by leaving comments…lol
It’s amazing the amount of hatred and love an artist receives after making over $50,000,000.00.
What does making money have to do with anything? Ni99as are excluded from being wack when they get to a certain tax bracket?
man, you are dead on the money with your point.
money and fame brings out the hate from jealous lames.
Donald and the two Anonymouses are fucking stupid.
I think I’ll just stick to my apple headphones. I understand that the Dre headphone are regarded as a luxury type of headphone but I still believe that its overpriced.
Every headphone has the same name lol Beats by Someone I’ll make my own line Beats by Harold and y’all niggas will have to buy it
In that pic it his face looks like he thinking
“G*dd**n these mutha***kas feel cheap.”
LOL
“Ni99as are excluded from being wack when they get to a certain tax bracket?”
Absolutely. How dumb is Wayne really if he makes millions making music alot of people seem to like? It’s a game, and he’s playing it because he can. Can you?
Swerve
that i love you so much
