Lil’ Wayne to Cover Superbowl Event For ESPN

Posted by Bossip Staff

Well, black folk, let’s all get ready to be embarrassed; Lil’ Wayne’s gonna be covering an ESPN event from the red carpet:

Although he is not set to perform, Lil Wayne’s presence will be known at the Next party, as he reports from the event’s red carpet for ESPNthemag.com.

The assignment is the latest in ESPN’s relationship with the New Orleans rapper, who serves as a blogger for the publication’s web site and frequently comments about sports on the 24-hour sports network.

Despite appearances from Jean and Lil Wayne, the hitmakers won’t be the only entertainers on hand for the NEXT Big Weekend. Singer Sean Kingston will perform at ESPN The Magazine’s Next Day Tailgate.

The event, which is sponsored by Ford’s F-150, and free to the public, will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on January 31 and include sets from the University of South Florida Marching Band and Tampa-based reggae band Impulse.

Working the red carpet for ESPNthemag.com is the latest achievement for Lil Wayne, who was nominated for eight Grammy Awards in December.

The recognition stemmed from the rapper’s work on his latest album, Tha Carter III.

Y’all, Lil’ Wayne doesn’t even speak English anymore. Make sure y’all don’t hang out with your white co-workers because after the third time they ask you to interpret what he said, you’re probably gonna slap the sh*t out of them and get fired. Damn it, Lil’ Wayne. SMH
