Lil Wayne is getting involved with the new sport.

Lil Wayne has a lot on his plate these days. A few weeks ago, he dropped Tha Fix Before Tha VI, which is a teaser for Tha Carter VI. The latter should be dropping soon, although nothing has been 100 percent confirmed just yet. Moreover, on November 17th, he is dropping Welcome 2 ColleGrove with 2 Chainz. Needless to say, he has a lot to be excited about. It is also football season, which means he is watching his Packers every Sunday. Oh, and you can't forget the NBA starting last night. Now, he can watch his Lakers struggle night in and night out.

As it turns out, Wayne is looking to diversify into other sports. One new game that has taken the world by storm is pickleball. While some would roll their eyes at the mere mention of this sport, others absolutely live for it. Well, according to HipHopDX, Wayne has become a part-owner in the Texas Ranchers franchise. Furthermore, he will now serve as a strategic advisor. Simply put, he could very well help the team get key partnerships.
