Unlike a lot of artists who use the word "lil" before their stage name, Lil Wayne is actually little. Midget little, tiny. bite sized, and he feels that he's gotta sling.

Weezy is so adamant about protecting his vertically challenged ass that he didn't wanna go through a security at Fashion Rocks. He cancelled his performance instead. Doin' it fo the fans.

"When Lil' Wayne showed up to perform in the show - and he showed up on time - he was carrying a bag and refused, point blank, to go through security.

"Everyone else - including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock - went through security, and we couldn't make an exception. He's obviously not a Boy Scout and has a history with drugs and guns.

"But he wouldn't budge and refused to have his bag searched or have a security wand passed over him. Then he started getting abusive: 'I don't need your [bleeping] show - I'm leaving if you make me do this.' So he had to leave, I mean, who knows what was in that bag?
