Lil Wayne Says He Hasn’t Eaten McDonald’s Or Fast Food In 20 Years

by

Lil Wayne is very much in a world of his own. Over the years, the self-proclaimed martian has proven that he exists in a tiny bubble where only he and ESPN exist. Perhaps, that’s a testament to his creativity and the focus he puts into his craft. The rapper’s known to clock in over numerous songs in the studio per day, which means that there’s more music we haven’t heard from Wayne than we have. This week, he unveiled his new single, “Kant Nobody” ft. DMX and Swizz Beatz which he said is among the “billion bangers” they have in the vault.

Following the song’s release, Lil Wayne made a rare appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music radio show where he discussed his latest song, as well as the upcoming Tha Carter VI. “It’s Carter 6. I never even imagined. That didn’t even sound right years ago. I can’t believe we’re at Carter 6. My fans know I give my all. Go listen to my last feature and know it’s gonna be a thousand times better than that,” he told Zane Lowe. Additionally, Weezy provided some interesting insight into his daily routine, including his diet.

Lil Wayne Doesn’t Know What McDonald’s Smells Like

When you’re rich and famous, the idea becomes less appealing when you have a personal chef to cater to your cravings. Lil Wayne revealed to Zane Lowe that, for over 20 years, he’s had a personal chef working for him. “When I was 19 I moved to Miami and my mom is a chef and she was very happy for the move because New Orleans is crazy. One thing she really wanted me to do was get a personal chef,” he explained. 

Wayne’s mother didn’t want him to eat anything that was available, especially since he was frequently on the move. The 40-year-old MC admitted that he doesn’t eat fast food but he’s also not a gym rat, either. “So from the age of 19 to now, I’ve always had a personal chef. I haven’t eaten any fast food forever. I don’t know what McDonalds smell like,” he said. “Only Gyms I know is Jim Jones. I can’t lift a weight. I don’t do no workout.” Check out the interview above and sound off on your thoughts on “Kant Nobody.”

NLE Choppa Takes Uproxx Behind His ’23’ Music Video

by

NLE Choppa is giving out flowers to everyone that inspires him, including himself. The Memphis rapper is looking for a fresh start in all areas of his life. Whether it is his physical health thanks to herbology, spiritual well-being, or community involvement seen in him organizing a peaceful protest in his hometown, NLE Choppa is taking take ownership of himself.

His latest Tay Keith-produced single, “23,” off his upcoming project Cottonwood 2 is the result of this work. The rapper stopped by our studios to share the behind-the-scenes of the song’s accompanying video.

“I named the song ’23’ because I felt the year of 2023 was a [Michael] Jordan year. This year might make the goats. This year might make people that are not the goats,” said Choppa.

The video, co-directed by the rapper and Water Wippin Evan, as Choppa shares, was filmed over the course of two days, starting in Los Angeles and then ending in Memphis on the same block where it all began for him.

When asked by Uproxx’s Cherise Johnson what it was like to return to his hometown in the same place he filmed his breakout hit, “Shotta Flow,” Choppa said, “Man, it was beautiful. I got a lot of love too. There were a lot of kids running up to me,” before adding, “it’s really memory lane.”

That’s not the only reason the video holds an emotional significance to him. Parts of the video were filmed around the memorial services for the late rapper Big Scarr, who was a dear friend of his.

CeeDee Lamb’s Massive Back Tattoo Includes Kobe Bryant

by

CeeDee Lamb has been having a great few years with the Dallas Cowboys. Overall, many can make the argument that he is the team’s number-one option. Quarterback Dak Prescott loves throwing to him, and at this point, they will be a dynamic duo for years to come. Although the team didn’t go as far as anyone would have liked, there is always next year. The Cowboys are building something solid, and Lamb will likely be part of it for a long time. At least Cowboys fans hope that this is the case.

Now, the offseason is here, and Lamb can finally relax for a little bit prior to training camp. For every player in the league, now is the time to do the things you otherwise wouldn’t be able to do during the season. One such activity is getting a tattoo. Although tattoos don’t affect your performance, getting them can be a very strenuous process. Firstly, there is a time commitment. Secondly, you have to heal from them. Getting a massive fresh tattoo can be impractical, especially if you have workouts just hours later. Having said that, Lamb has taken the time to get his entire back inked up.

CeeDee Lamb Back Tat

In the post above, Tattoo Artist Andres Ortega posted a masterpiece that he tattoed on Lamb’s back. Ortega works at Onder Ink in Phoenix, Arizona, and you can tell that he is a master of his domain. This tattoo has plenty of elements to it, including a spartan, a cross, Interstate 45, a huge tiger, and even Kobe Bryant. Every single moving piece of this tattoo looks amazing, and we’re sure Lamb loves his new ink. However, we also bet that was extremely painful. These kinds of tattoos take hours to complete and they have to be done over multiple sessions.

After the healing process, Lamb will be able to get back onto the field for some off-season workouts. We’re sure he is going to be extremely motivated, especially given everything the Cowboys have done over the last year. Let us know your thoughts on the tattoo, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the football world.

Pusha T Remixes “White Lines” By Melle Mel To Promote “Cocaine Bear” Movie

by

I mean, of course he did. Pusha T just announced his new song to promote the movie Cocaine Bear in theaters this week. Moreover, it’s a remix of Melle Mel’s classic 1983 single “White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It).” With that classic drum beat behind it, and those gorgeous backing vocals, Push did what he does best. “All white, all winter,” he raps. “Even snow in the summer / The high fallin’ from the sky / Are you the hunted or the hunter?” Overall, it seems like it’s going to be a pretty cheeky track, especially from the current king of coke rap.

However, there is a bit of confusing information going around about this song, at least as of writing this article. While the film’s official Instagram page says the lyric video is out now, it can’t be found on YouTube. For now, it seems that the most we have of the song is a Twitter video uploaded by Push himself. Unfortunately, though, the snippet of the song mashes up with audio and dialogue from the attached trailer. Well, at least it does contain lyrics, but they’re hardly necessary for his authoritative and clear delivery. The Virginia Beach-based MC is one of the top lyrical and artistic dogs of the moment, with impeccably smooth flows and consistent writing.

Pusha T’s Cocaine Bear Track

What’s more is that this is just a side quest for Pusha T’s upcoming main mission: his Gangsta Grillz tape with DJ Drama. Recently, he spoke glowingly of his excitement for the project and credited Tyler, the Creator with revitalizing mixtape excellence. “I just feel like to me, the Gangsta Grillz and the whole mixtape culture and scene is what I’m about. That’s the purest form of Hip Hop to me,” he told Complex. “The fact that Drama is having so much success, the fact that that’s what I love in Hip Hop, I want to merge those worlds and see what happens.” Not only that, but he apparently has a solo album in the works as well.

“I’m going to be honest with you,” the 45-year-old added. “Seeing Drama’s mixtape with Tyler and how they won a Grammy, I was like, ‘Man, mixtapes really won a Grammy.’ So I’m trying to be a part of that culture as well.” Check out the Cocaine Bear track above and stick around on HNHH for the latest greatness from Pusha T.
