After the December 29th concert at the Premiere Entertainment Center, Lil Wayne was supposed to attend the official afterparty at the Congress Ballroom in Chicago. This afterparty was being thrown by Ming's Dynasty Records.

This appearance was a makeup appearance for an afterparty Lil Wayne was paid for and missed in August after the Chicago Summer Jam given by Ming's Dynasty Records and The Ark Entertainment.

Lil Wayne spent hours backstage getting high and went on stage too late to attend the afterparty. An infuriated group of men associated with Ming's Dynasty Records and The Ark Entertainment stormed Lil Wayne's hotel room and assaulted Lil Wayne's camp including security and forced Lil Wayne's Manager Cortez to come up with $15,000 cash in order to leave Chicago standing up.

The cash was paid on the spot and Lil Wayne and his camp was allowed to leave Chicago without further harm. If Lil Wayne's camp was smart they would have known not to try to cheat this record label owned by Chicago Ganster Big Ming 6'7'' 320 pounds (Chicago's version of Suge Knight) and it's main artist Skee Franchise who is a notorious street thugs from Englewood, Chicago's roughest area.

Lil Wayne was also hit with a bottle while on stage at the concert. That incident appears to be unrelated to the hotel assault.
