No, my kids are bigger fans of Batman and Spiderman.įollow The Mag on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Rappers' kids are usually bigger fans of athletes than their own dads. Whatever message you take from it is your choice. I'm not sending a message because that message may not get across. It's supposed to be personal, a reflection of me, unless you have somebody writing it for you, and everybody know I'm not that artist. I never try to send messages through music. I wasn't the best at basketball, wasn't terrible. I still say what I want to say - it just sounds better and makes more sense. My thoughts on Donald Sterling are I have no thoughts about a man who doesn't, or can't, think. Well, I'm cool with it because CP3 is at point guard, and he's my brother. I'm just a regular fan, but Miami wasn't too happy about the things I was saying. I'm a Lakers die-hard, a superfanatic, and I'm super-happy on that sideline, and I'm super-close, so you can hear everything I say. I was just heated about getting thrown out their game with the Lakers, that's all. The "F- the Heat" sing-along at my show ? Fact.
The Packers because my late dad went to their Super Bowl game in New Orleans in 1997, and he came home with a bunch of Packers paraphernalia, so my bedroom was full of Packers posters. Why do I like the Red Sox and Packers? Pedro Martinez was my favorite player, followed by David Ortiz. I don't know if I'll do another, but if I could've had any athlete tease my music, it would've been the late Junior Seau. I have his number, so I had my homey hit him up: Can you put this video of Drake out, as a little tease? He did.
I saw that and thought, That's dope as hell, so that's what we're calling the campaign.
People have to go out to watch movies, and they don't watch movies that they don't like.
I have movie star friends too, but movies are a choice. It wasn't planned or paid - I only went to the homeys as a favor for a friend. So I had the homey hit him up simple procedure: Hey, can you tweet this? And he did. My homey Cortez came up with it: What do you think about Kobe tweeting the album art? I'm like, what do I think? That'd be dope. Also, I believe athletes want you to know who they are - not just how they play. Music is youth, sports is youth, and to the younger players, music is their motivating force. Plus, everybody knows I'm in love with sports, so it's a way to be involved. I know sports, worldwide, is forced on you all day, every day in a great way. He also said he likes the things I say about him in music. I think I put a song out for him - I don't know, I've done so much music. When we met, I told Kobe I'm a huge fan and he told me he's a huge fan, which was a total shock. I wanna be what I am.īut meeting athletes is the coolest. You can call me Wayne, brah.Īthletes wanna be rappers, rappers wanna be athletes. Donald Sterling? Yeah, he went there too.
Here, Wayne, 31, tells how the collaboration taught him about the intersection of music and sports. Lil Wayne got pals Kobe Bryant and Floyd Mayweather to tease his upcoming album, Tha Carter V, on their social media.
