Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz have been friends for well over a decade. In a recent sit-down, Weezy revealed that prior to their solid friendship, 2 Chainz was his weed dealer before they started rapping together.
Lil Wayne Discloses That 2 Chainz Use to Be His Weed Man
On Friday (Oct. 20), Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz hit up NBC’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform their latest single, “Presha.” Before they hit the stage, the rap duo sat down with Jimmy to chat about their decade-long friendship. Wayne recalled meeting Deuces at a studio in Atlanta and thought of him as a cool guy who played basketball.
“I mean, once we linked up, we were friends from there,” he said. “Just same type of attitude, cool, but I didn’t know he rapped at the time.”
So when Jimmy asked how they started rapping together, 2 Chainz chimed in with his part of the story.
“[Clears throat] Uh…Wayne wanted cannabis,” he stated, which helped Jimmy realize that he was his supplier of weed.
“And so every time I would go to Atlanta and I wanted to speak about that one thing [marijuana], I would always call this guy [2 Chainz] to talk about that,” Wayne added.
During a transaction (circa 2007), 2 Chainz told Tunechi that he was a rapper and played him the song “Duffle Bag Boy.” Once Wayne heard the track, he jumped on it immediately.
“The moment he said he rapped and the moment I heard it, we got to the studio, and I did this hook for the song, ‘Duffle Bag Boy,’” Wayne recalled. “And the rest is history.”
Weezy and Chainz became friends and started collaborating on music ever since. Their bromance is so tight that Weezy was even the best man at Chainz’s wedding.
