America's Most Wanted Music Festival 2013

Don’t worry about Weezy. The Young Money rapper is doing just fine. To prove it, he’s released a video to TMZ, who reported a week ago that he was on his death bed after suffering multiple seizures.

“Tunechi in this bitch. I just wanna say thank you to all ya’ll for your prayers and ya’ll concerns and all that,” said Wayne. “I swear to God I felt that love when I was laid up in that motherfu**in’ hospital bed. But I want all ya’ll to know that I’m good, a ni**a more than good.”

He takes the time to plug his album I Am Not a Human Being II and upcoming “America’s Most Wanted” tour with some of his “closest friends in the game” including T.I., who joined him in the video.

“Hustle Gang and Young Money, partner. I hope you ni**as brung money ’cause it’s goin’ down,” said Tip.

Dates have yet to be announced, but the tour will kick off July 5. “We crankin’ that motherfu**a up,” he proclaimed. “Get you some BBQ on the 4th, come holla at us on the 5th.”

UPDATE: An official announcement regarding the “America’s Most Wanted Music Festival 2013″ has been made. In addition to T.I., Wayne will be joined by Future. Tour dates will be announced on Monday.

His partner-in-rhyme 2 Chainz sits down to dine with a table full of women and meets up with Weezy to rap atop a glowing cube. The visuals also feature a white tiger, bike stunts, and a temptress dressed in red.

Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj has fun with her family in the playful video for “High School.” Young Money’s First Lady filmed the Benny Boom-directed clip at a sprawling mansion in the L.A. area earlier this month. She soaks in a jacuzzi while flaunting her hot body in a neon green bikini, even inviting the crew to join in. Her Minajesty changes multiple times and is carried around set by a bodyguard.

Nicki’s Young Money boss Lil Wayne made his cameo just days before he was hospitalized for a seizure. Weezy suggests that she films in her birthday suit. “This is my dream,” he says, while singing the lyrics to 2 Chainz’ “Birthday Song.”

Birdman also pays a visit. Nicki originally wanted him to play her husband in the clip. “I would’ve loved that,” he tells her.
