Lil Wayne Joins “NFL GameDay Morning” Show As Weekly Guest

by Sandra Appiah, 8:54am November 20, 2024,

The NFL has announced that Lil Wayne would be the weekly guest on the NFL GameDay Morning show.

A known football fanatic, Weezy’s new job will team him with popular football correspondents to discuss weekly matchups and more.

The GameDay crew reportedly includes Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, Gerald McCoy, Ian Rapoport, Cynthia Frelund, Colleen Wolfe, Mike Garafolo, Tom Pelissero, Daniel Jeremiah and Kyle Brandt, along with various NFL Network reporters, including Judy Battista, Bridget Condon, Stacey Dales, Omar Ruiz, Jane Slater, Sara Walsh, Cameron Wolfe and Steve Wyche.

Lil Wayne joins  the NFL’s new international expansion, which promoted the rap star during an international game in Germany. His connection with the NFL began in 2009 via ESPN Magazine. In 2016, his hit song “No Mercy” became the official theme for the sports talk show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed. Weezy often appeared on the show to discuss his favorite teams, the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Lakers. During a guest appearance, he caused controversy with an “All Lives Matter” comment.

He later took to social media to express his disappointment at how it played out, and thanked his fans for their unwavering support and outcry.

In an Instagram video, he said: “That hurt.” Hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about? It hurt a whole lot. And for just automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody had told me that was my position.”

At Lil Weezyana Fest, Weezy spoke on the Super Bowl again after reuniting with the Hot Boys. “I said to myself, ‘I want to be onstage for the Super Bowl one day, in front of my mom,” he said to the crowd. “And I worked my a** off to get that f**kin’ position. It was ripped away from me.” New Orleans would pay their respect to Weezy by issuing him the Key to the City and two official days.
