Lately Lil Wayne has been everywhere. The rapper has performed at almost every award show in 2008 and is one of the top searched artists on the 'net, so it's no surprise he'd make sure he was at the most important event of the year ... the birth of his new son. "I delivered him. I held the left leg the whole time," Wayne said in a recent interview. "It was nasty, very nasty, but it was wonderful. October 22, 9:25 a.m., 7 pounds, 12 ounces. He's the best thing to ever happen to me, next to my daughter."

The rapper also made sure to mention that he's looking forward to releasing some new music, which includes a revamped 'Tha Carter III' and 'Tha Carter IV.' Wayne, however, chose not to explain why he didn't take the stage for the Boston Powerhouse show, instead the rapper cited "technical difficulties." According to media reports, Weezy failed to perform at Boston's TD Banknorth Garden because he refused to cooperate with security.
