In addition to the photos of his mentor, Drake also changed his profile picture to a photo of Lil Wayne and Juvenile.
Lil Wayne's been celebrating his milestone birthday over the past few days. Over the weekend, Skip Bayless, YG, and others joined Lil Wayne for an extravagant birthday dinner. It even had a private performance from Keith Sweat, who performed a rendition of "Don't Stop Your Love."
