Yesterday, Lil Wayne made an appearance on ESPN’s “The Jump” show via Skype from his home to chop it up with Rachel Nichols, Matt Barnes and Amin Elhassan.

During their conversation, Tunechi spoke on how special it was for the Los Angeles Lakers to win the 2020 NBA Finals championship in the same year we lost Kobe Bryant, how it has been for himself to deal with the loss of Kobe, and what their relationship was like.

Weezy also discussed attending the LA Lakers games virtually from his home, where he ranks LeBron James as a Laker, how it was to switch roles and ask questions instead of answering questions on “Young Money Radio” earlier this year, and more. Check it out below!

Earlier this week, Lil Wayne shot a music video for his “NFL” single featuring his Young Money artists and fellow L.A.T group members Gudda Gudda and HoodyBaby.

The visual is being directed by Eif Rivera and it is being filmed for Amazon Prime. You can check out some behind the scenes footage and another photo from on set of the “NFL” video shoot below!

Are you happy this collaboration is receiving the video treatment?

After the Los Angeles Lakers won the recent NBA Finals championship, Lil Wayne appeared on the “ALL BALL with Doug Gottlieb” podcast, which you can check out below.

During their 50-minute conversation, Wayne spoke on being a Lakers fan, first meeting the late Kobe Bryant, having some stuff in the works with Kobe before he passed away, his thoughts on LeBron James moving to the Lakers, and how he will be celebrating their latest win by going to the studio.

Weezy also discussed growing up in New Orleans, how his stepfather Rabbit convinced his mother Cita to be a rapper, recording a recent feature for DMX, the recording process for his very first album, his favorite meal that his mom cooks, his favorite sneakers, his half-brother Semaj, buying a Nissan Pathfinder with his very first paycheck, the success of his first solo album Tha Block Is Hot, why so many artists in the music industry try and sound like Drake, the last time he was on stage, and the “colossal” change in how music is downloaded now compared to how it was at the start of his career.

Before his interview with Doug Gottlieb wrapped up, Tunechi recalled his trip to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia at the end of last year and told the story of how he nearly didn’t get into the country, as well as how “Your Excellency” helped him out!

A couple of months ago, 2 Chainz appeared on the “expediTIously” podcast to chop it up with T.I. about music, investments, T.R.U. record label, Atlanta, and more.

Just before the 30:00 mark, Tity Boi spoke on his relationship with Lil Wayne, how their ColleGrove joint album came together from Chainz wanting to give back to Tunechi after Tune gave him the “Duffle Bag Boy” hook which changed his life, and Weezy having a skate ramp in his studio.

Later on in their conversation (1:11:45) that you can check out below, 2 Chainz discussed Lil Wayne‘s work ethic. He also mentioned “Free Roscoe” at some point in this interview, which I find strange considering he is currently locked up behind bars for shooting at Wayne‘s tour bus!
