Wayne is not only known for his lyrical prowess but he is also known for not shying away from making bold statements. Especially when it comes to basketball. Being a loyal Lakers fan, the superstar went a little overboard with his comments on Anthony Davis last season.

Ahead of the 2023 postseason, AD had a tough time recovering from a foot injury. He missed the majority of the games in that season. And it looked like the Lakers were nowhere closer to claim a spot in the postseason. At that time, Lil Wayne dropped a harsh statement on Davis in an Undisputed episode. He said, “If the Lakers want to be a championship team in the future as well, you gotta get rid of AD,” 

However, the rapper’s words didn’t age well, as AD played a crucial role in the Lakers’ playoff run till the Conference Finals, averaging 22 points with 14 rebounds.
