“I met [Lil Wayne] a few months ago, and he’s honestly — I don’t even know if he’ll want people to know that he’s incredibly polite and respectful. He’s so talented and very funny. And really optimistic, and super supportive of me, which I’ve really, really appreciated so much. I sent him a couple of my songs. He’s been diggin’ on them for a while. Then he heard ['Make It Rain'], and he was like, ‘All right, I’m gonna kill it!’”
-”Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester, announcing that she recently collaborated with Young Money CEO Lil Wayne on a song called “Make It Rain.” Before her performance at last night’s event for the opening of the new American Eagle store in Times Square, Meester told MTV News that the legends about Wayne’s unconventional work ethic have not been exaggerated. “It was like, literally, 4 o’clock in the morning,” Meester said of one of their sessons. “He was so sick — he didn’t even write anything down. He just, like, vibes to the music and dances. I don’t even know how he does it; he’s amazing.” Meester’s musical career has already gotten off to a strong start, as she has had notable, head-turning collaborations with Cobra Starship, Robin Thicke and now Weezy. Her full-length debut doesn’t have a release date yet but is expected to hit the streets some time in January of 2010. In the meantime, she’ll keep things feisty as Blair Waldorf on “Gossip Girl.” [Source]
