The nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards have been announced and Lil Wayne has received a total of three.

Wayne was nominated in the “Song Of The Year”, “Best Rap Performance” and “Best Rap Song” categories all for his work on DJ Khaled’s “God Did” single, which also features Rick Ross, JAY-Z, John Legend and Fridayy.

Both Khaled’s God Did and Jack Harlow’s Come Home The Kids Miss You albums are nominated in the “Best Rap Album” category, and Machine Gun Kelly’s Mainstream Sellout project is nominated in the “Best Rock Album” category. I believe this means that if any of these albums win, Weezy will receive a Grammy award as he is featured on them.

For the ceremony, the 2023 GRAMMYs will be taking place February 5th from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. You can see what competition Tunechi has after the jump below. Good luck Tune!

Machine Gun Kelly has released a new documentary on Hulu called “Life In Pink” and there is a part in the doc about Lil Wayne.

Inside the documentary, MGK recalls what it was like working with Wayne on his Mainstream Sellout album and witnessing his recording process in person.

“I pressed play on the song, he’s like: ‘is that what we’re doing?’ ‘Yeah.’ He’s like: ‘alright, you guys got time?’ ‘Yeah, for sure.’ He goes in the courtyard, smokes fifteen blunts, he just takes each, his eyes are closed just playing the track over and over again. He comes back in the studio and we can see him in the courtyard, we’re just kinda sitting there amazed, like, that’s the G.O.A.T. forming his thoughts around a track that we made. He comes back in at 5:30 in the morning. He’s like: ‘y’all ready?’ He goes in the booth and he lays his shit like, one time. Just like, one time through.”

For Billboard magazine’s March 2022 issue, Machine Gun Kelly graced the front cover and was their main feature for the story to promote his new album, Mainstream Sellout.

In their cover story, the rapper/singer/actor talked about how some of the greatest rock stars of this generation are now actually rappers and the example he used was Lil Wayne.

“That motherf*cker is everything I loved about the rock stars from back then. That’s why it was so cool to watch Wayne. We’re like: ‘who is this martian?'”

MGK then proceeded to play Tune‘s “Ay!” verse and revealed how Weezy went in the booth after a 7AM skateboarding session to lay the verse down in one take. Check it out in the video below from the 5:45 mark!
