Rick Ross Speaks On Lil’ Wayne Health Issues

Naturally, Rick Ross was able to vibe with VIBE on the matter of health among one of his peers, given that he’s had a couple of seizures himself:

“Yeah…that’s the homie, I had a few words with Birdman and it’s all positive,” he said on Wayne’s status.

Given his own battle with balancing work and life, Ross said it’s about prioritizing. “It’s just all about putting yourself first and we always reiterate that with each other: ‘Get rest,’” he said. “Sometimes, your desire can overwhelm the things you know that are right for you.”

UPDATE: Paul Anka Slams Jay-Z, Claiming He Was Disrespectful

UPDATE: Forget the above video and everything below….Anka has done a full backslide.

Legend Paul Anka (look him up) feels that Jay-Z disrespected him by not returning his phone call. This is especially important because Jay-Z actually used Anka’s music before. From TMZ:

Anka was outside Madeo restaurant in L.A. last night, when we asked about his upcoming album “Duets” — which features collaborations with legends like Willie Nelson, Gloria Estefan and Dolly Parton.

But you know who isn’t on the album? Jigga … because according to Anka, Mr. Knowles didn’t have the common courtesy to return a simple phone call!!!

Anka says he feels completely disrespected — and says Jay acted “inappropriately” towards him … especially since Jay once sampled Anka’s biggest hit “My Way” on a rap song.
