Artists: Lil Wayne/Zac Efron.
Rumor: The two of them are not only collaborating on a High School Musical remix album, they're totally making out. And Weezy's rubbed off so much on Zac, the Disney-bred cutie is dropping the N-bomb!
First Mention: The OC Weekly printed "The Efron Scandal," which made these claims, on Thursday, and author Ben Westhoff tipped us off to the story Friday.
