In a new interview with Variety, Lil Wayne talks about Eminem.
People recall two things when Eminem met with Lil Wayne on his Young Money radio show: Marshall’s generous donation and the fact that GOATs had to Google their own songs.
Lil Wayne recently had a new interview with Variety in which he discusses a variety of topics, including his Young Money Radio, Nick Minaj’s memories, Life in Quarantine due to Coronavirus, Eminem’s gift, and much more.
Variety also inquired about Eminem’s appearance on Young Money Radio during an episode in which the Detroit rapper made a $250k donation and stated that he Googled his lyrics like Weezy.
Lil Wayne also talked about recent events of George Floyd “It means a lot to [me] to have such a platform, but the unique fact of it is how meaningful it can be for others. You never know who you’re reaching, so you reach for the stars and hope whoever you’re reaching can do the same.”
Variety: Young Money Radio started in quarantine, what made you think of the idea and how did you go about getting the ball rolling?
Lil Wayne: The radio station was already an idea before the quarantine. We’d already had Nik do it [via Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio] so we knew it was something I’d maybe be interested in.
Variety: What challenges have you experienced in putting the show together?
Lil Wayne: There hasn’t been any true challenges with putting the show together thanks to Mack, Rick, Matt, Manny and the Apple team! They prepare the same way every week and they make it a walk-thru for me.
Variety: Eminem came on, matched, and donated another $250,000. What was your reaction?
Lil Wayne: I wasn’t surprised at all by Em’s donation because I’ve known him forever and it’s simply a part of who he is. He’s a guy who lives for those around him to live better and his donation speaks volumes to that fact. We are bros.
Eminem said you guys have to go on the internet to look up your own songs. That’s epic. What songs did you have to look up?
Lil Wayne: I ALWAYS have to go to the internet for my lyrics. ALWAYS!! For songs, you wouldn’t believe it. It’s been everything from ”6 Foot 7 Foot” all the way to “How To Love”!! I’m just forgetful.
