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!

Earlier this week on December 4th, Meek Mill paid a visit to ESPN’s “First Take” sports television show to promote his new album, Championships.

During his appearance, Stephen A. Smith made a top 5 list of rappers that he thinks makes the biggest impact among NBA players in the locker room. This list included JAY Z, Drake, Migos, The Notorious B.I.G., and Tupac Shakur.

When Stephen sat down, Meek mentioned that Lil Wayne should of been on this list before Max Kellerman then said the same. Mill also revealed that Wayne is in his top 3 of all time list. You can check out what went down in the video after the jump below!

2 months ago, we saw a clip of Lil Wayne and John Wall shooting videos for “30 Minutes To New Orleans“, “3 Peat” and “6 Foot, 7 Foot” at the private TRUKSTOP skate park in Miami, Florida.

It turns out that Tunechi and the Washington Wizards player were interviewing each other about hip-hop and NBA, which we will be seeing soon with Bleacher Report. Tune even jokingly said Wall has retired from basketball and is now signed to Young Money as a rapper!

BallIsLife have also released some behind the scenes footage of what went down during John and Weezy‘s meet for season 2, episode 6 of their “Summer of Separation” series that you can watch below (starts at the 7:30 mark).
