We first heard about this last year, and now footage has surfaced online of Cortez Bryant and Matt Ferrigno teasing an upcoming Lil Wayne show that could possibly premiere on Netflix.

While talking at Midem 2019 in France, which you can watch below, Ferrigno discussed how platforms like Netflix are “dying to get more hip-hop content” and this would be a good thing for Tunechi to share his story on.

Tez then shushed Matt up and said it is coming within a year (so it should be this year as the interview was done in 2019). He also revealed the show would be a scripted television series based on the “Gone ‘Til November” journal that Weezy wrote while locked up in Rikers Island back in 2010.

Nivea recently paid a visit to DJ Vlad for a one on one interview that you can watch in full below.

Throughout the 1-hour conversation, Nivea discussed dating Lil Wayne, how he proposed to her in an elevator, Lauren London being pregnant with Wayne‘s baby while she was also pregnant with his baby, Wayne going to jail, how their son Neal Carter is doing, and how Wayne can’t make appearances to Neal‘s parent evening sessions at school, due to his fame.

The Georgia singer also spoke on “Dope New Gospel” making Tunechi‘s Tha Carter V album, revealed if she got paid for her feature, and announced her and Tune have an unreleased song by the name of “Loyalty” that was scrapped because Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna ended up releasing a collaboration by the same title. However, she did say the collabo “is so dope” and that she hopes Weezy will “release it one day”!

Have you ever wondered why Lil Wayne was never featured on his Young Money artist Nicki Minaj‘s debut album, Pink Friday, back in 2010?

As it was the seventh anniversary of the project yesterday, the Barbie revealed the exact reason as to why her boss and mentor wasn’t on Pink Friday via social media:

“After all his love & support, my mentor Lil Wayne couldn’t be on my debut album due to a gun charge in NY. That had me fucked up @ the time.”

If you recall, Weezy was locked up behind bars at Rikers Island for gun possession during the time Nicki was recording her album. This is why when he was released from jail, Minaj put Tunechi straight onto her “Roman’s Revenge” remix!
