For episode 413 of “The Joe Budden Podcast With Rory & Mal“, the three guys sat down with Jim Jones for an interview, which you can check out below.

At the 2:53:00 mark of their conversation, Jim recalled a crazy story that included the time when the late Stack Bundles begged him to get Lil Wayne featured on their “Weather Man” collaboration back in 2006 to which he was successful in doing so.

However, Jim Jones goes on to say that he “wanted to fuck Weezy up” after Wayne went and rapped a similar hook on Fat Joe‘s “Make It Rain” single. Even though he “loves Weezy to death”, Jones did mention he was ready to take it to next level after he saw Tunechi at a club before Juelz Santana stepped in and stopped anything from escalating. The Dipset rapper also revealed Tune gave him an explanation over the “Make It Rain” chorus and that was: “Yo, I be high”!

Not long after Donald Trump officially pardoned Lil Wayne, the Young Money CEO took to his Twitter page to share a statement about the situation and to thank the 45th president of the USA, as well as his attorney Bradford Cohen.

“I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank [attorney Bradford Cohen] for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!”

Tunechi‘s attorney also participated in an interview with The New York Times recently where he claimed Tune did not meet up with Trump in October, 2020 just to receive a pardon like a lot of people are suggesting.

In related news, fellow rappers and peers of Weezy, such as Fat Joe, 2 Chainz, Busta Rhymes, Royce Da 5’9″, Wack 100 and Lil Skies, have all reacted positively on social media to the pardon news. Check it out below!

While on “The Fat Joe Show”, J. Prince broke down the story to Fat Joe about how his son Jas Prince first discovered Drake and brought him to Lil Wayne.

J. Prince revealed his son Jas was originally on tour with Tunechi because they all had a relationship and he had told his boy to not come home broke with all that access to power. After agreeing to start a record label with Tune that was 50/50, Jas told his father he wants the first music artist they sign to be Drizzy.

The Rap-A-Lot Records CEO wasn’t feeling Drizzy Drake‘s music at first (says it was too soft), but he told Jas to take Drake back on tour with you again and make sure Weezy puts his arm around him on stage. You can check out J. Prince share the full story in a video after the jump below!
