Lil Wayne Talks Sport

Friday
Sep 26,2008

Lil Wayne has a brand spankin’ new blog, but it has little to do with music. Instead the sports mad rapper will be blogging about, well, sports.

In his first entry he says “I don’t watch nothing but sports—no movies, no news, no television shows—so I thought this would be fun.” And well, fair enough!

The first entry is more of an introduction to Wayne’s sporting credentials. He lists his favourite teams saying “Besides the Packers, my favorite teams are the Red Sox, the Lakers and the Boston Bruins. I also love tennis. I had a lot of people over to my place to watch the Wimbledon final this year, and we went crazy. I love Federer but Nadal is my favorite. He’s the man.”

50 Cent has just announced that he will be releasing a movie with the same name as his new album “Before I Self Destruct.” But in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper says that he will be cutting Interscope out of the movie’s profits.

The Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ star told Rolling Stone “It’s not Purple Rain [a film by Prince], but it was inspired by the actual music.”

“When [films] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect, but I showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options, even though there were.”
