During Lil Wayne’s peak years, Birdman was supposedly asking for $100,000 simply to connect artists with the New Orleans rapper.
2 Chainz dropped this information during a fresh interview on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay.
“If anybody wanted Wayne, [Birdman] would be like, ‘I need 100 too,’ and people would obviously do it,” 2 Chainz explained.
But he accidentally discovered a workaround. He told Sharpe that one day, while shopping at the Gucci store, he purchased Wayne a pair of red Gucci shoes because “he represents the red team.”
Tity Boi went on, “I take them to him at the studio. He don’t know I’m about to take it to him, but I also got a beat CD. And I’m not doing this for the other thing but I just take it to him and he like … ‘Damn, these harder than a bitch.'”
