Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson recently chopped it up with Jayson Tatum for episode 35 of their “All The Smoke” podcast (see below), which is of course the same podcast Lil Wayne appeared on last month.

Around the 54:00 mark of their interview, Jayson was asked about music and went on to name his top 5 music artists. Weezy, who the professional NBA athlete called a G.O.A.T., was mentioned in this list along with JAY-Z, Drake, The Notorious B.I.G., and Nelly.

Not long after this conversation, the Boston Celtics player was asked which music artist he would love to have name-drop him in one of their songs and he answered with Tunechi or Yo Gotti. He then added it would be great to hear Tune reference his name on one of his next mixtapes like a Dedication 7!

Lil Twist recently sat down with Shirley from Baller Alert for a one on one interview, which you can watch below.

During their conversation, Twizzy discussed his feature on Lil Wayne‘s “Ball Hard” song off Funeral, how the verse came about after Wayne paid a visit to Los Angeles to pick up some weed, their “Popular” collaboration off I Am Not A Human Being, never dropping the “Love Affair” remix with Weezy and Nelly, earning a co-sign from Birdman, witnessing Nicki Minaj record in the studio, and his favorite Tha Carter album.

The YM artist also talked about his relationship with Justin Bieber, being blessed by Tunechi with Young Money chains at “Lil Weezyana Fest”, and his Young Carter mixtape was due to be released while locked up in prison but Cortez Bryant‘s “timing is fucking horrible” and “bad”. He also confirmed Tune will have a couple of features on his forthcoming Young Carter 2 project!

For episode 2 of UNDISPUTED’s “#SkipRidesTheTrollerCoaster” series, Skip Bayless revealed how his relationship with Lil Wayne came to be.

At the 6:05 mark of the video below, Bayless told the story of how he first met Tunechi in 2008 (which involves Nelly), mentioned they talk regularly and text all of the time, discussed Tune‘s passion and knowledge for sports, praised the “No Mercy” theme song, and called him a “creative genius”.

The sports columnist also explained how much of a good guy Wayne actually is by sharing another story that involved Craig Humphreys‘ son Sam, who found out he had testicular cancer at the age of 21-years-old. After finding out that he is a huge fan, Weezy made a 20-minute phone call to Sam for support. Skip then went on to say he believes this motivated Sam to battle the cancer before adding that him and Mr. Carter shared a joke about it always being “all the white kids” – even at his concerts!
