After the Los Angeles Lakers won the recent NBA Finals championship, Lil Wayne appeared on the “ALL BALL with Doug Gottlieb” podcast, which you can check out below.

During their 50-minute conversation, Wayne spoke on being a Lakers fan, first meeting the late Kobe Bryant, having some stuff in the works with Kobe before he passed away, his thoughts on LeBron James moving to the Lakers, and how he will be celebrating their latest win by going to the studio.

Weezy also discussed growing up in New Orleans, how his stepfather Rabbit convinced his mother Cita to be a rapper, recording a recent feature for DMX, the recording process for his very first album, his favorite meal that his mom cooks, his favorite sneakers, his half-brother Semaj, buying a Nissan Pathfinder with his very first paycheck, the success of his first solo album Tha Block Is Hot, why so many artists in the music industry try and sound like Drake, the last time he was on stage, and the “colossal” change in how music is downloaded now compared to how it was at the start of his career.

Before his interview with Doug Gottlieb wrapped up, Tunechi recalled his trip to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia at the end of last year and told the story of how he nearly didn’t get into the country, as well as how “Your Excellency” helped him out!

According to court documents obtained by the Miami Herald, Lil Wayne has admitted to owning a gold-plated pistol that was found in his luggage on his private jet that got raided at Miami International Airport on December 23rd by federal agents.

After numerous drugs including heroin, ecstasy, cocaine and marijuana, a gold-plated .45 caliber handgun along with bullets and $25,938 in cash was found, Weezy has told the FBI agents and ATF officers that the gun was given to him as a Father’s Day gift.

Tunechi was never charged in the case and the feds allowed him to leave after their search, but if the case ever makes it to a large federal grand jury, then it could cause serious issues for him especially with the fact that Tune is a convicted felon from a weapons case over 10 years ago!

After first hearing news that Lil Wayne‘s private G-V jet had been raided at Miami International Airport on December 23rd by federal agents, due to them receiving a tip about drugs being transported on the flight, more details about the search have surfaced online.

According to Page Six, a gold-plated .45 caliber handgun and numerous drugs including heroin, ecstasy, and marijuana were all found inside a designer handbag once the FBI and ATF officers had boarded the plane from acquiring a search warrant. Wayne‘s personal chef was also found carrying approximately 20,000 dollars in cash.

Tunechi has not been charged from this search and even went on Twitter to say everything is “All goody”. Howard Srebnick, who is Tune‘s lawyer, refused to comment on the items found but did tell the Miami Herald newspaper that his client was “cleared”. However, if a large federal jury is enlisted, Weezy could still face weapons and drug charges in the future!

Last month on March 9th, Lil Wayne put on a live concert at Melbourne Showgrounds in Victoria, Australia for a stop on the 2018 Jumanji Festival.

Before jumping on a flight to Sydney, Weezy also met a few of his fans at Melbourne Airport’s private jet base and posed for pictures with them.

After performing live in Bloomington, Indiana on March 3rd, Lil Wayne headed to the IND airport so that he could leave the city and head to the next one on his “The Dedication Tour“.

Just as Tunechi‘s private plane was set to take off, a Lockheed C-130 Hercules military aircraft pulled up next to him. Tune then told his pilot to shut down their engine, so that he can go and meet all of the men in uniform (there was around 30) and shake their hands, as well as thank them personally for their sacrifice.

Amanda Lickliter was one of the people at the airport who witnessed all of this and she shared a post on her Facebook page with a photo saying how impressed she was with Wayne‘s act of kindness. You can check out that photo and message after the jump below!
