A couple of days back we reported that the Theatrical Teamsters Union had shut down Lil' Wayne's video set and sparked a dispute over the number of union bus drivers hired to work on the shoot.

According to SOHH.com, and Ubina, a producer at FM Rocks-the production company that works with video director Benny Boom, and who has admitted that the teamsters came to the 116th St. and Park Ave. location, but denies that production was shut down.

"They didn't shut us down," Ubina told SOHH. "We were shooting on the roof when the teamsters came. It didn't affect us at all.

"Half of my crew didn't know what was going on cause we were shooting on the roof," added the producer. "That's when I'm reading that they shut me down. That'll never happen on a Benny Boom set. Jesus Christ can come down and it would not be shut down."

According to the report Weezie didn't even notice the unionists and reports that 60 men turned up were way off the mark.

"It was about 11 of them," revealed Ubina. "I can show you a picture of all of them. There was 11 guys that showed up in a van. I had three tour buses of crazy country hoodlums. Who you think would... I ain't even gonna say anything else."
