Over the weekend, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and pretty much every other artist affiliated with either Maybach Music Group or Young Money Cash Money Billionaires, descended on D.C. Various combinations of those celebs hit up D.C. Star, Love, the Park at Fourteenth, and Stadium all weekend long, and yesterday news of their exploits began to pour in.
Here's some crazy stuff that happened!
Nicki Minaj looked bored at Park at Fourteenth!
Lil Wayne did the dougie at Stadium! (Well, kind of)
Drake's beard looked really beard-y!
Cash Money honcho Baby AKA Birdman, AKA Bryan Williams AKA the No. 1 Stunna was at Stadium, with Weezy, and there are unconfirmed reports that Stunna was drinking Stunna while there. Incredible.
All of these celebrities were in town for the occasion of Wayne's Sunday night concert at Verizon Center, which sounds almost as fun as all of the crazy pre-show festivities and after parties.
