Anuel AA sat down with Big Boy for an interview at the end of last year on his Neighborhood show, which you can check out down below.

From the 11:40 mark of their conversation, Anuel recalls watching and learning from Lil Wayne as the best artist in the world to try and be the best artist himself that raps in Spanish. Even though Tunechi was huge in Puerto Rico, AA wanted to replicate everything Tune did but in Spanish.

The Puerto Rican music artist also reflects on Weezy being the number one rapper in the world, putting on the likes of Drake and Nicki Minaj, and taking inspiration from the Young Money CEO: “He was the number one in the world, nobody can tell me nothing else. He was looking untouchable.” Click here to listen to Anuel AA and Wayne‘s “Ferrari” collaboration!

Lil Wayne recently participated in a 1-hour conversation with former American football player Marcellus Wiley on his “More To It” podcast, which is a show featuring interviews with entertainers.

In their convo, Wayne discussed growing up in the 17th Ward of New Orleans, signing to Cash Money Records, dressing up as Michael Jackson and performing for his family at a young age (this is when he realized he loved performing), his late stepfather Rabbit, the Cash Money/Ruff Ryders tour, Slim Williams, the moment when Birdman and Slim knew he was a solo artist and not a Hot Boy anymore, and being a student of the game every single day.

Also during their talk, Weezy spoke on wanting to become the ultimate music artist, how it feels to be in the conversation for the greatest rapper of all time, Roger Federer being the G.O.A.T. in tennis, playing tennis himself with his homie T@, the time he said he does not believe in racism on “Undisputed”, what he would tell his older self if he could go back in time, the Green Bay Packers, preferring American football over basketball, preferring Los Angeles over Miami, and what the hardest part and the best part about being Lil Wayne is.

You can watch a clip of Tunechi‘s interview with Marcellus after the jump below, as well as also listen to the full podcast on Apple Music.

In a recent Twitter Spaces conversation, Juelz Santana gave Lil Wayne his flowers, and put a stop to anyone who believes Wayne copied his and Dipset‘s style.

From personally seeing comments on social media that said Tunechi had bit The Diplomats‘ style, Juelz shut down these claims by saying Tune did what he had to do to become “the best rapper in the world”, which is by studying the game.

“You know, especially these blogs and sh*t, they try to separate or try to throw salt in the game. They love to hit me with the ‘Oh, Wayne took all this from you.’ I be like, man, Wayne is a student of the game just like we’ve all been students of the game. So Wayne did exactly what he was supposed to do. Wayne studied every artist… and he took what he needed to take, and he incorporated it into his style and what he needed to do, and became the best artist that he needed to be for his self.”

The Harlem rapper also added that they “all took sh*t from each other”, as well as called Weezy his “brother”. You can listen to Santana make these comments after the jump below! Do you agree with what was said?
