Lil Wayne has admitted that he once got starstruck by LeBron James.<\/p>\n
App<\/a>earing on SportsCenter<\/em>, Weezy detailed meeting the NBA superstar on the set of a commercial for Beats.<\/p>\n Wayne said: \u201cI found myself asking him about his son and the NBA\u2014those discussions were monumental for me.”<\/p>\n Weezy also remembered the first time he met LeBron, when the future great was just a teenager.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI received a call from Slim, Birdman\u2019s older brother, who mentioned a promising player in the area eager to attend my show. He said, \u2018Trust me, Wayne, this kid is the next Michael Jordan.’<\/p>\n \u201cHe was just having a blast that night. Both of us remember it vividly; it was truly unforgettable.”<\/p>\n Wayne recently said that he no longer had aspirations of performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery time I looked, it was nothing that made me want to go inside and see what was going on,\u201d he explained, saying he didn’t watch Kendrick Lamar’s performance, before adding: \u201cThey stole that feeling. I don\u2019t want to do it. It was perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n He also alleged the NFL had been seemingly hinting that he\u2019d be chosen for the gig as they encouraged him to be more front-facing ahead of time.<\/p>\n \u201cTo perform, it\u2019s a bunch of things they\u2019re going to tell you to do and not do, asses to kiss and not kiss,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf you notice, I was a part of things I\u2019ve never been a part of. Like [Michael] Rubin\u2019s all-white parties. I\u2019m doing shit with Tom Brady. That was all for that. You ain\u2019t never seen me in them types of venues. I ain\u2019t Drake. I ain\u2019t out there smiling like that everywhere. I\u2019m in the stu\u2019, smokin\u2019 and recording.\u201d<\/p>\n And then when he still wasn\u2019t chosen, he says the NFL simply told him, \u201cWe ain\u2019t in charge [of the Super Bowl halftime show].\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cAll of a sudden, according to them, they got curved. So, I\u2019m going to have to just settle with whatever they say.\u201d<\/p>\n Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance would ultimately become the most watched in history.<\/p>\n The post Lil Wayne Admits He Was Starstruck By LeBron James appeared first on HipHopDX.<\/p>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
