His disassociation with PepsiCo. and ban by the Miami Heat apparently just distant memories, rap star Lil Wayne is now rumored to be collaborating with Drake on a new album.
It’s been an eventful last few days for the New Orleans born rapper, who just 48 hours earlier was dropped by PepsiCo. amid public outrage over controversial lyrics he penned in Future’s remixed version of Karate Chop about civil-rights icon Emmett Till.
“Beat the pu—y up like Emmett Till,” Wayne rapped, promoting incensed PepsiCom execs to drop him from a lucrative endorsement deal he had only recently inked with the company. That came on the heels of a public feud Wayne openly waged with Miami’s Big 3 of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
After insisting he had been banned from Heat home games, Wayne sought to retaliate by making offensive remarks about Bosh’s wife and even insinuating that the two had once been intimate.
On Tuesday, however, he was singing a different tune. Wayne told MTV News his next, and potentially last album could feature a collaboration with Cash Money artist Drake. "Possibility of that, possibility of a Big Tymers album adding Drake," he said. "But that kid is so busy it's all kind of possibilities.
The original incarnation of the classic tune consisted of Birdman and former Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh. The dynamic duo dropped their debut album How You Luv That in 1998, not long after Birdman linked his independent New Orleans-based label with Universal Music Group.
Five years later they released their final co-production Big Money Heavyweight and remain best known for their biggest single "Still Fly," from their 2002 album Hood Rich.
