Lil Wayne has officially backtracked his stance on whether or not Anthony Davis should be traded from the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tunechi appeared on UNDISPUTED last week, as he does every Friday, and the conversation turned to the previous night’s NBA game, in which the Lakers put up a great performance against the Celtics, despite the absence of LeBron James.

As the discussion about the Lakers came to a close, Skip Bayless asked Lil Wayne — who last November had made the bold claim that the team could only win a championship in the future if they “get rid of [Anthony Davis]” — if he still feels the same way about the former New Orleans Pelicans star with the NBA’s trade deadline fast approaching.
“You can’t get nobody for him that’s gon’ replace what he can do,” Wayne said. “There’s nobody out there like that.” Weezy then quipped that perhaps he would be interested “If you could get Jokic, but you can’t do that.”
Lil Wayne wasn’t the only rapper/sports aficionado who lost faith in Anthony Davis last year.
Back in March 2023, Cam’ron affirmed that same sentiment during a segment on his sports talk show It Is What It Is.

“Get it together in the offseason, how about that?” the Dipset rapper fumed at the time. “You always hurt. You ain’t play 82 games yet. I think you played 82 games never in 15 seasons, 12 seasons, however many fucking seasons you been here.
Weezy has proven to be a notable figure in the world of sports commentary as of late, which hasn’t gone unnoticed.
On Wednesday (February 7), the NBA revealed that Lil Wayne and 50 Cent will both be assistant coaches for the upcoming All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game.
