Lil Wayne isn't easily impressed by rappers nowadays but there was something about Eli Manning's verse that left him speechless.
During his appearance on ManningCast on Monday night, December 19, Wayne had a conversation with Peyton and Eli Manning on their podcast. Midway through, Peyton said he wanted to show Wayne his brother's rapping skills and played him a video of Eli in the studio. In the video, Eli rocked a yellow Celine hoodie with a matching bucket hat and gold Cuban link chain. At first, Wayne couldn't bring himself to udder any words but eventually he began to laugh.
"First of all, when I saw that, I just saw a picture of that first," Wayne commented about Eli's fit. "When I saw the picture I was like 'wait, is this really how Eli dress, this how he dress on his off-time for real? I didn't know what was going on, I saw the Cuban around your neck so I'm glad I saw the video of what that was all about."
Wayne also added that Eli "killed it" after Weezy saw him rap over the drill beat. Eli thanked him and told the veteran rapper "You are the inspiration." The clip stems from Manning's studio time with Fivio Foreign last month. The former New York Giant recorded a remix of Fivio's "1-on-3" called "Giants on 3."
As far as other news in Wayne's world goes, the Grammy award-winning rapper recently earned his first-ever Diamond record after his single "Lollipop" sold over 10 million copies.
