Lil� Wayne has signed on to become an official member of Boyz N Da Hood (BNHD) and Young Jeezy has exited the ranks, according to sources. Lil Wayne, President of Cash Money Records will join the Atlanta-based super-group along with existing members Big Duke, Big Gee, Jody Breeze, a representative for Universal Record confirmed. Initially, T.I. was included in the group as well, but his representatives at Atlantic Records denied. �That�s false. He�s not going to be in Boyz N Da Hood,� a rep in the Atlantic publicity department said. Blok, founder of Boyz N Da Hood and Blok Entertainment, also confirmed the news of Lil� Wayne�s inclusion, but countered stating that T.I. was in the group. Despite persistent rumors, Blok said there is no bad blood between Young Jeezy and the rest of the group. �Jeezy only signed on for one album and that�s my whole campaign � it�s not a replacement it�s a continuance. We�re not beefing. All of us are brothers. That�s very important, it�s a continuance. This is the way it was set out to be when it first started,� Blok told AllHipHop.com. Blok also stated that the original roster of Boyz N Da Hood included T.I., Trick Daddy and Sean Paul of the YoungBloodz and the newer members replaced them. Young Jeezy has experienced solo success with his platinum-selling Def Jam release Let�s Get It: Thug Motivation. Representatives at Def Jam for Jeezy were unaware of the Boyz N Da Hood personnel change, but Jeezy commented on his status with the group in a previous interview. �I was a solo artist first. I�m definitely a boss. I always had a label. I always had a movement. The whole thing with Puff [Bad Boy Records], we sat down and worked it out. I already had my solo situation at Def Jam,� he told AllHipHop.com. �My album was set up to come out first, before I did the little situation [with Bad Boy]. But just me being a gangster and real about what I�m doing agreed to push my album back so I could get the Boyz N Da Hood project rolling. I just want the fans to know it ain�t me acting funny or nothing like that. It�s just that I got a solo album out, so just like how I went on a Boyz N Da Hood promo run, I gotta do mine. Everything I do with them, I gotta do for myself.� While Jeezy was a member of BNHD, he was also signed to Def Jam as a solo artist and had to promote both the group album and the Def Jam opus at the same time. Jeezy frequently missed promotion and marketing tours with Boyz N Da Hood, but continued to push both projects. The BNDH self-titled album hit stores on June 21, while Thug Motivation 101 was released on July 26.
