The highly anticipated collaboration album between T-Pain and Lil Wayne is still in the works.
In a recent interview with MTV News, T-Pain said "We got 12 songs right now. We going slow; there's no rush. It can come out whenever. We're gonna keep it pushing, however. It's gonna be pushed."
"T-Wayne is an entity that's just gonna take over a side of the game. It's two artists that done collaborated with every artist in the industry except each other. Being that we getting together, this T-Wayne movement is getting crazy," he added.
Although T-Pain and Lil Wayne already have 12 songs recorded the two haven't been in the studio together. Most of the tracks are emailed and done separately.

Apparently Bow Wow wants a new "leash" on life... starting with another record label.
Sources report that the rapper wants to part ways with Columbia Records. Bow Wow confirmed the rumors on his Twitter page, "Yep! It's true! I want off Columbia. I'm asking to be released. NO they not dropping me I'm askn. Not happy there. Been like dis 4 5yrs."
Bow Wow, born Shad Moss, blames the demise of the partnership on the label's minimal experience in working with Hip-Hop artists.
"I think Columbia's problem is that they don't know how to work with rappers," Bow Wow says. "I'm really the only rapper on that label. My labelmates consist of John Legend who they work extremely well with, Beyonce Knowles who they work extremely well with, but when it comes to rappers they're not really a rap label, they don't get it."

 LOS ANGELES – The MTV Movie Awards were a blood bath Sunday night with "Twilight" taking five trophies, including best movie. But it was Sacha Baron Cohen who gave the show it's trademark bizarro moment when he landed upside-down on the lap of Eminem, who may or may not have been deeply offended.
"Twilight," the popular vampire drama starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, sucked up golden popcorn trophies for best movie, best fight, best kiss, breakthrough male performance and breakthrough female performance during Sunday's freewheeling and often-bleeped ceremony at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
"The fans are the ultimate driving force," Stewart said while accepting her best female performance trophy (which she promptly dropped on the floor, breaking off a chunk of the golden popcorn). Awards were decided by fan votes.

Although it's been widely reported as the 100% bona fide truth, T.I. and his long time girlfriend, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, did not tie the knot, says the rapper's publicist.
The rumors of the couple's supposed wedding began to swirl weeks ago, but Essence magazine told yesterday's (May 27) readers that the wedding took place weeks ago in a private Miami ceremony.
