The working relationship between Skip Bayless and Lil Wayne goes way back--before the addition of Stephen A. Smith on First Take. Lil Wayne's first appearance on ESPN's popular morning debate show came in 2012 when he took a break from his tour to surprise his good friend on set. In the years that followed, the founder of Young Money would make numerous appearances on First Take before Skip made the jump to FS1 in the Fall of 2016. Lil Wayne assisted the monumental shift in morning sports debate shows by writing and performing the theme song for "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed." A track that Skip often refers to as one of Lil Wayne's greatest hits.
Last week on The Skip Bayless Show, the award-winning sports commentator from Oklahoma City revealed that Lil Wayne recently texted him the brand new theme song for the upcoming Undisputed relaunch. The 71-year-old heaped praise on the track from his "brother Lil Wayne," saying that the re-make was even better than the original, which he did not think was possible. On Monday, Skip took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself standing next to Lil Wayne, along with the announcement that they had just shot a video for the show's new song called "Good Morning."
FS1 will relaunch Undisputed on August 28th. Lil Wayne will join the debate desk every Friday to talk sports with his longtime friend.
