Colby Covington referenced Lil Wayne during a press conference for UFC 286 between Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman III.

While talking to the press about how he kept being at The O2 arena in London a secret, the American mixed martial artist said the following:

“A lot of people in England, you guys like to quote Shakespeare. In America where I come from, we like to quote the great poet Lil Wayne… and just like Lil Wayne said: ‘real Gs move in silence like lasagna.’ Shout out Weezy”

You can watch Colby quote Weezy in his press conference below. If you recall back to last year, Covington called Tune the greatest rapper alive and mentioned he would be featured on his next album!

During their conversation, Ferg spoke on how his “No Ceilings” collaboration with Lil Wayne and Jay Gwuapo that was produced by AXL Beats came about, as well as how close he was to asking Skepta and Octavian to feature on it.

The Harlem rapper also discussed “having the G.O.A.T. [Lil] Wayne jump on a [UK] drill joint” and revealed Wayne sent his verse back to him the following day after first sending the track! You can check out exactly what Ferg said in the video below.

I have chosen a single from London titled “B4 U Go” featuring 2 verses from Lil Wayne for this week’s “Feature Friday” edition.

The Ric & Pres-produced song was recorded in 2009 for the Atlanta native singer’s debut studio album, Man Of My Word, which never ended up being released.

“And before I go she tell me I’m the best; Then she kiss me on my chest, then I tell her I’m impressed; I confess, we obsessed, then we do it on the desk; Then we let the housekeeper come and clean up the mess”

You can listen to “B4 U Go” below.

Since his 36th birthday, Lil Wayne has been spotted rocking a new custom necklace with an 18-carat yellow-gold pendant in the shape of his face on it.

It turns out that this pendant, which features 2 white diamonds for Wayne‘s tear drop face tattoos, was gifted to him for his birthday from a close friend. You can get a better look at the chain after the jump below.

A 29-year-old art student named Joy Bonfield-Colombara was struggling to pay her £9,500.00-a-year course at the Royal College Of Art university in London, England and considered on dropping out until she received an e-mail from one of Weezy‘s close friends.

Joy revealed to the BBC that she had 2 – 3 weeks to create the pendant in time for Tunechi‘s birthday and after selling it to Tune‘s friend for “thousands” of pounds, the money she earned was used to help pay a “chunk” of her course fees so she could carry on at university! What are your thoughts on the piece?
