Lil Wayne Drafts Ultimate Hip-Hop Fantasy Football Team, Drake, Future, and More in Unlikely Lineup
Lil Wayne, known for his legendary status in hip-hop, recently showcased his sports acumen by creating a fantasy football team featuring some of rap’s biggest names. During a conversation with Not Just Football, the “Lollipop” rapper built an all-star lineup, but with a twist—his team consists entirely of fellow rappers.
“Obviously, I got to be the coach,” Lil Wayne stated, kicking off his unique draft. “For quarterback, my dawg, the 6ix God as the quarterback, Champagne Papi [Drake]. [Jay-Z] would be Tom Brady, so Jay’s not in this. He’s just retired, he got a new job coming up, he making $300 mil’. He gon’ be okay. I want our running back to be, you know, like, tough, hardened. I like tough running backs -– I played fullback, so… Like, Beanie Sigel. You see Beanie Sigel back there, you know?”
Weezy’s picks continued with flair. “Wide receiver, you know they got to be flamboyant,” he explained. “They got to be swaggy… We going Future. On the opposite side of him, we going with 2 Chainz. He going to be the guy, the wide receiver that be like, ‘Man, just put it up. Just throw it up.’ Linebackers… Need them to be white boy crazy. Eye black just makes no more sense. We going Post Malone. You see all the tattoos and the grill, yeah. He remind me of [Maxx] Crosby. We got [The Game] and [50 Cent] on each end, left and right.”
However, Lil Wayne’s dream team isn’t without its potential conflicts. Drake and Future have had their share of disagreements, and The Game and 50 Cent are known rivals. This lineup’s off-field drama might rival its on-field talent.
While the feasibility of such a team hitting the gridiron remains in question, Lil Wayne’s imaginative fusion of hip-hop and football showcases his love for both worlds. Whether or not his rap football team could make it to the Super Bowl, it’s a thrilling concept that highlights the larger-than-life personas of some of hip-hop’s biggest stars.
