Birdman knows how to take care of his family. The Cash Money CEO presented his star Lil Wayne with a Bentley Mulsanne, which costs around $285,000. “Everytime I do something for myself, I like to do it for my son too,” said Baby.

Mack Maine was also on the receiving end of his generosity, getting his own Rolls-Royce with a big red bow on top. “I think I deserve to be excited,” said the Young Money president. “I used to drive a Cavalier when I was 15. Who’d have ever imagined?”

But one thing Birdman’s money can’t buy is loyalty. “It’s priceless,” he said. “Being loyal, being down, hard work, and grinding, that’s what YMCMB about.”

Laugh out loud with Ke$ha in the comical video for “Sleazy Remix 2.0 – Get Sleazier,” which she officially released on her YouTube channel. Instead of enlisting her hip-hop collaborators Wiz Khalifa, André 3000, T.I., and Lil Wayne for the gritty visuals, the pop star casts some unexpected characters.

A drag queen performs Wiz’ verse, André 3000 is played by Napoleon Dynamite actor Efren Ramirez, and T.I. looks a little older (and whiter) as he raps in his wheelchair: “I was gonna take her, make her my new royal penis cleaner.”

Ke$ha explained the video’s origins. “This video is the product of my friends seeing how sleazy the already monumentally Sleazy Remix 2.0 could get,” she said. “Brace yourself because this video takes SLEAZY to a whole new level.”
