Lil Wayne Leads Packers' 'Roll Out the Barrel' Chant at Lambeau Field: 'One of the Dopest Times of My Life'

When Lil Wayne took the stage at the Delano in Miami Beach on Friday night (Jan. 31), it was already raining. By the time he finished his roughly 40-minute set, severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect throughout Miami, and the streets of South Beach were starting to flood. Thankfully, before the worst of it, Wayne managed to fit in a rapid-fire set stuffed with some of his most classic hits, though -- oddly -- not a single song from his new album Funeral.

One of the biggest turning points in Lil Wayne’s career is when he ditched the pen and paper. Back in 2002, he dropped a 35-minute song released as a mixtape, called “10,000 Bars”—which marked the last time he ever wrote his rhymes down. Now that he released his long-awaited LP, Funeral, he reminisced on that moment on Drink Champs.

Fans have long been awaiting Lil Wayne's new LP, but there's one special piece no one would have expected to see even one week ago: a nod to the late Kobe Bryant.

Along with dropping his long-awaited LP, Funeral, Lil Wayne appeared on REVOLT’s Drink Champs, where he revealed that he hasn’t profited off his run of 20 mixtapes.

After a slight delay, Lil Wayne released his latest album, Funeral, early this morning. On “Not Me,” the Young Money rapper appears to reference the 2015 shooting of his tour bus that was tied to an associate of Birdman and Young Thug.

Lil Wayne spent years working on his new album Funeral, but after the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, the rapper made a last-minute addition to the eighth track, “Bing James”. The 37-year-old honored the Los Angeles Lakers legend with a 24-second moment of silence, a nod to the jersey worn by Kobe throughout his legendary 20-year career.

As a diehard Los Angeles Lakers fan, the loss of Kobe Bryant has left a hole in Lil Wayne's heart. It looks like Weezy honored the late five-time NBA champion in multiple ways on his Funeral album, which dropped Friday (Jan. 31).

Lil Wayne just dropped his long-awaited LP, Funeral—and the Jay Rock-assisted album cut, “Bing James” ends on 24 seconds of silence in honor of the late Kobe Bryant.

Lil Wayne is the latest guest on the “Drink Champs” podcast with Nore, and aside from talking about his new album “Funeral,” he also talked about how Jay-Z has been there for him throughout the years and has helped him when needed. He also reflected on how he’s so focused on what he’s doing he’s not always aware of some of the changes that go on within the industry.

Lil Wayne joined the Drink Champs podcast in support of his Funeral album, which dropped on Friday (Jan. 31).
