For fans who would be gathered at the Wrestlemania 40, legendary rapper, Lil Wayne has a surprise for them.
The music artiste confirmed that he would be one of the several notable celebrities to attend the event in Philadelphia.
He announced during a brief but memorable interaction with superstar Jey Uso on the most recent episode of WWE Monday Night RAW about his attendance. However, not only will he be attending, but the rapper will be debuting a new song as well.
Uso was reportedly star-struck upon bumping into Wayne backstage and urged the rapper to make time in his busy schedule to “come through” to Philly, to which Wayne agreed.
However, the title of the single, and its producer, have yet to be announced, but Uso is eager to hear it, and gave Wayne a taste of his signature catchphrase “yeet” upon learning about the rapper’s plans, and got a “yeet” in return!
