In the most recent episode of Rap Life Review on Apple Music, the radio personality and music executive advocated for a release of music from Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj.
"I think we’re owed as Hip Hop fans a collab Drake/Wayne album,” he began. “Or just an EP. Or a Drake/Wayne/Nicki – seven joints, five joints. Something. I think it’s love [between Drake and Nicki]. When the schedules align, they’re cool. She had him on her album, you know?”"
Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj's interconnected journey in the music industry is a captivating blend of mentorship, collaboration, and friendship. Lil Wayne, also known as Weezy, played a pivotal role in both Nicki Minaj and Drake's careers.
He discovered Nicki Minaj early on and recognized her potential, leading to their collaboration on her "Playtime is Over" mixtape and subsequently signing her to his Young Money label. Despite initial friction, their relationship evolved, and Minaj's meteoric rise in the industry is attributed in part to the opportunities Young Money provided her, with Minaj expressing deep gratitude for Wayne's impact on her creative spirit.
However, Lil Wayne's first collaborative effort was with 2 Chainz, and now he has joined forces with Wheezy, the talented producer. The connection between Lil Wayne and Wheezy is indeed intriguing and worth exploring. Their joint project, titled "Weezy vs. Wheezy," marks the beginning of their professional collaboration, drawing inspiration from their shared nicknames.
Details about the project are still shrouded in mystery, but one thing is clear: Lil Wayne and Wheezy are bringing their A-game. Whether it’s an entire album, an EP, or just a single, fans are eagerly awaiting the collaboration.
