Award-winning American rapper Lil Wayne is gearing up to enter the boot. This time around, the music icon and sports enthusiast is appearing on NFL Network’s ‘NFL Gameday Morning show as a weekly guest.
According to a press statement from the NFL on Monday, the 11th of November 2024, the show is scheduled to begin on Sunday, Nov. 17.
The New Orleans rap icon will be at the show alongside the GameDay Crew which includes Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, Gerald McCoy, Ian Rapoport, Cynthia Frelund, Colleen Wolfe, Mike Garafolo, Tom Pelissero, Daniel Jeremiah and Kyle Brandt, along with various NFL Network reporters including Judy Battista, Bridget Condon, Stacey Dales, Omar Ruiz, Jane Slater, Sara Walsh, Cameron Wolfe and Steve Wyche.
The announcement of Lil Wayne’s appearance on the show was made during Sunday’s New York Giants/ Carolina Panthers game in Munich, Germany alongside a video of Wayne running onto the field with his beloved Green Bay Packers. The rapper had earlier in 2021 dropped his official Packers theme song, “Green & Yellow,” on which he raps, “Once a Packer, always a Packer/ Like Shakur, call me ‘two-pack’/ I’m green and yellow.”
To his blog posts for the ESPN The Magazine and a spot in 2009 on the round table of the ESPN Daily show, Around the Horn, followed by him offering up his track “No Mercy” in 2016 as the theme song for the sports talk show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, Lil Wayne’s connection with NFL spans over two decades.
