Lil Wayne has shown off his passion for music throughout his career, as well as his love for sports. Now, the emcee has spoken to NBA on TNT about LeBron James, speaking on when he first met James.
Wayne noted that Slim of Cash Money Records was behind him and James linking up, saying, “I had a show in Ohio and I was on tour with [Ja Rule]. Slim, Birdman’s older brother, called me he was like, ‘I got a player out there in Ohio. He want to come to your show. He gon’ be the one. I’m telling you Wayne, he’s a young Michael Jordan.'”
The rapper then said, “I’m like, ‘What? He’s a high school player.’ Can he even come to the show? Then I had to remind myself that I was in high school too.” Wayne then noted that Juelz Santana pulled up to the show the same day, which caused James to have to wait for over an hour. Wayne concluded that they eventually got LeBron: “I’ll never forget he had the time of his life. He remember that night, I remember that night. It was an unforgettable time.” Watch above.
