Wayne really was always showing love to his second family.

There's no doubt that two of the biggest hip-hop artists of this generation and Drake and Lil Wayne. They are powerful forces on their own, but when they come together, it's always going to be an even more special moment. Unfortunately, at least on the outside looking in, both legends aren't up to much as a duo. The last time we heard them on a record(s) was back in 2021 on a reissue of Nicki Minaj's "Seeing Green" and then on Certified Lover Boy. However, with Drizzy fending off tons of outside noise from his contemporaries, it sort of makes sense why things haven't been the same ol' same ol'.

But with them developing a partnership/friendship since the late 2000s, true close buds will always find a way to support each other. That's the case here, as Drake is doing so from afar, according to HipHopDX. A Lil Wayne fan account on social media who goes by liltunechi_classics reposted a clip from 2009 during the heat of the Young Money days. It's a wholesome video, as Weezy is "introducing" two of his newest signees to an "excited crowd". The Louisiana native mimicked an audience screaming while Drake was holding the mic.

After listing off his laundry list of nicknames, he then gave the mic to Nicki. All three of them had a hard time keeping a straight face, as Drake was making suggestive and childish noises during her self-introduction. The For All The Dogs creator came across the post and shared it on his IG Story while speaking highly of Lil Wayne. "We were so lucky to have the most supportive boss in the game always gassed us up". You can be skeptical of where they stand with each other right now, but you cannot deny that they at least have incredible amounts of mutual respect for one another.
