Rep Denies Lil Wayne's 'Rebirth' Pushed Back for Summer Release

The 'Prom Queen'-led album which is Lil Wayne's first foray into rock genre is still set for February 2 U.S. release with the inclusion of new tracks.

A spokesperson for Lil Wayne has thrown cold water to rumor suggesting that the rapper's forthcoming album "Rebirth" has been pushed back to June 22. The publicist said the effort will still hit the U.S. market on February 2.

Led by single "Prom Queen", "Rebirth" is Weezy's first rock-inspired album. In December 2009, it was reported that its 500 copies have been prematurely shipped off to Amazon customers, causing it to leak six weeks prior to the release date.

When it arrives across the country a week before Weezy is sentenced for an illegal weapon possession, the album is confirmed to be different from the leaked ones. Young Money boss Mack Maine tweeted, "Leaked 09 Rebirth isn't going to be 2010 Rebirth."

Before being slated for February release, "Rebirth" was rumored to come out on December 21, being paired with the Young Money compilation album "We Are Young Money". The effort which boasts Weezy's duets with Drake, Nicki Minaj and his other crew debuted at No. 9 on Billboard Hot 200.

Jay-Z Begs to Be 'The X Factor' Judge

The rapper has offered himself to sit on the judge panel of the reality TV show if Simon Cowell needs help for the next series.

Rap superstar Jay-Z has begged Simon Cowell to let him sit on the judging panel during the next series of his British reality show "The X Factor". The singing contest, which featured a performance from the star's wife Beyonce Knowles in 2008, launched the career of Leona Lewis - and the "99 Problems" hitmaker is keen to get involved.

He tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Simon, if you need any help for the next series, let me know man and I'm your judge. There is a lot of untapped hip-hop talent in the U.K. and if they want my help finding some for the final 12 I am sure I could assist." And Jay-Z has his eye on launching current judge and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole's career in the U.S.

He adds, "I keep a close eye on the music industry throughout the world and I know how hot Cheryl is in the U.K. The U.S. market is the toughest one to break into, but once you do it is by far the most lucrative. I think Cheryl has that talent to do it."

"There is nobody in the U.S. like her right now, and I would be very interested in helping her break the U.S. market this year. Bey has seen her perform and she told me how impressed she was. I checked her out and I was impressed as well."
