Lil Wayne shoots nine videos in one week

Lil Wayne has reportedly made nine music videos over the past week.

The rapper teamed up with director David Rousseau to make the promo clips before starting his imminent prison sentence.

"We shot some s**t from the We Are Young Money compilation album, we shot something from [Wayne's forthcoming] Tha Carter IV and some stuff from [Wayne's new album] Rebirth," Rousseau told MTV News.

"We knew what our deadline was. We're trying to get maximum coverage for Wayne. Most of the time we only shot Wayne's verses - we'll finish the rest of the videos off in the next couple of weeks."

Rousseau revealed that he was contacted by record label Young Money head Ronald Williams, who told him to pause other projects to focus on Wayne.

"We were put on hold, Cash Money said, 'This is our deadline. This is a hard deadline'. It was basically a Mission: Impossible scenario.

"Everybody is on board because everybody knows what's at stake. Unlike T.I. and some of these other guys that've disappeared while they were in, the point is to keep Wayne [visible] on TV and everything for whatever time he's in. He's at the height of his career, you can't let that momentum slip."

Rousseau added that he is considering entering the Guinness Book of World Records for the most music videos shot in 48 hours.

Wayne's prison sentence was yesterday delayed until March 2 to allow the rapper to undergo essential dental surgery.
