As we reported last week, Luther Campbell has given Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled and Diddy until January 2012 to start giving back to the city of Miami in the form of community work, or risk having their passes revoked.
Campbell, also known as Uncle Luke was the front man for the Miami-based rap group 2 Live Crew. More recently he had an unsuccessful run at the Mayor’s office.
The ultimatum was issued via an article Campbell wrote for the Miami New Times.
I’ve got a message for Lil Wayne, his Cash Money Brothers, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all the rappers from other parts of the country who now live in Miami. I’m tired of seeing these cats using up our beaches, soaking up our sunshine, taking over the nightclubs, and sleeping with our women without investing anything into the community. I want to know when Lil Wayne is going to do more than show up courtside at the American Airlines Arena. Hell, it’s not like he paid for them anyway. You know he got comped.
This free loading and mooching of my city has got to stop. There used to be a day when out of town rappers were scared to throw their weight around Miami. It didn’t matter if they were coming from New York or Los Angeles, they knew better than to act like they owned this mother f*****.
Artists knew better than to come to Miami and disrespect us.But now folks in Miami’s entertainment industry have gone soft, turning into a bunch of groupies just because they want to say they drank Rozay with the Cash Money crew.
Lil Wayne has finally responded. Writing on twitter that Campbell is “trippin.” More surprising was the shot Wayne took at DJ Khaled, saying he wasn’t “feelin” the DJ.
I think Luke is pretty serious about that deadline, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
What do you think of Wayne’s new beefs with Khaled and Campbell?
Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke is getting tired of celebrities living in his city, but not giving back to the community.
The former 2 Live Crew front man wrote an article yesterday for the Miami New Times calling out Diddy, Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled. He’s giving them until January 2012 to start helping in the community or risk having their Miami passes revoked.

Just cause Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled are from New Orleans doesn’t mean they don’t have to be a part of the community. They’re getting rich under fun and sun. They rap in their songs about King of Diamonds and LIV nightclub, where Lil Wayne was partying it up with Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks after they beat the Miami Heat for the NBA championship.
What kind of sell-out move is that? I want to see Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all their boys start doing more for Miami. I want to see them doing fundraisers to help youth sports and after school programs. I want to see them at FCAT rallies. I want to see them do like Pitbull who works closely with the Kiwanis Club in Little Havana and DJ Irie who puts on a charity weekend for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
I’m giving them a deadline. They got until January 1. If I don’t see them giving back to the Magic City, I’m gonna have their Miami cards revoked. They won’t be getting into any more nightclubs. They won’t be able to go near our women. And Lil Wayne is gonna have to find floor seats for New Orleans Hornets home games because he won’t be allowed inside the Triple A.
