Tune gonna perform his new single

Tomorrow night (September 6th), Lil Wayne will be attending and performing live at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, which will start at 8PM EST. MTV confirmed earlier today that one song Weezy F Baby will definitely be performing at the show is his new single, “No Worries“, for the first time live since it dropped on his Dedication 4 mixtape.

I wonder what other track(s) Wayne will perform? Maybe “My Homies Still“? Anyways, Tune is also nominated for two awards at the event, so fingers crossed he picks up those!

Hit the jump to check out more photos from Tunechi‘s rehearsal that took place on Monday, September 3rd, courtesy of John Shearer (Invision). He can be seen rocking his TRUKFIT apparel with an Odd Future “Golf Wang” t-shirt. Do you think Weezy will wear something similar to his skinny leopard pants that he rocked at last year’s show :?:

Looking at these nominees shows you how much of a conglomerate the music business is, if you aren't apart of the 3 major labels you get no recognition.

Warner, Interscope, and Universal music groups are sucking the life out of the music business.

 

[Lab Baby]

^^^^Interscope is under Universal.

 

[RichPorterOfTheIC]
