Lil' Wayne

Lil' Wayne, the self-proclaimed best rapper alive, is in talks to close out "The Bet Awards" next month as well as star in the upcoming Fast And The Furious flick.

"I'm really excited that Usher is opening the show," BET's executive vice president Stephen Hill told Billboard. "I'll give you a little tidbit - Lil' Wayne is probably closing the show. So, we have a grand opening and grand closing."

Lil' Wayne has racked up three nods for "The BET Awards," with nominations for "Best Male Hip-Hop Artist;" the "Viewer's Choice" award for his hit "Lollipop;" and "Best Collaboration" for DJ Khaled's "I'm So Hood (Remix)." The award show is set to air on June 24.

Wayne is also in talks to appear in the upcoming movie, The Fast and Furious 4. He let the cat out of the bag during last week's "BET Awards" press conference. The flick, which is scheduled to hit theatres in 2009, stars the original Fast and The Furious cast; Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez.

While Weezy is still in talks with the Fast and the Furious producers, he has secured a role in the upcoming Forest Whitaker film Patriots, which began filming in Wayne's New Orleans hometown this month. The movie will also star rapper/actor Bow Wow and is set to open in theaters in November.
