Lil Wayne missed out on a thrilling overtime win for the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night (February 29) as Weezy never made it to his courtside seats due to a dispute with Crypto.com Arena security.
Shortly after the security standoff, the Young Money boss vented his frustration on X where he claimed he was “treated like s–t.”
Wayne surmised that the mistreatment was probably connected to his own review of Lakers star Anthony Davis earlier this season during a UNDISPUTED appearance.
“Wow! They treated me like s–t at the Laker game just now but I figured they were going to do that to me sooner or later either BC from what I said abt AD or just BC so I got it,” he wrote . “F–k em. It's not what it's not. I'm used to it.”
A much calmer and collected Lil Wayne emerged UNDISPUTED on Friday (March 1). He thoroughly reviewed the details of the situation and reported the misunderstanding to staff who were “doing their jobs”.
“They were just doing their job. We tried to get into a courthouse entrance,” he began. “When we got there, security was like, 'No, go to another entrance.' … The other entrance that he told us to go to this entrance would be behind the people who were already sitting and you have to tap people on the shoulder and ask them to stand up. They have to move the chairs… When I saw that they were explaining, I stopped, “Oh stop, let's go where they told us to go.”
Weezy continued: “So we're back to the first entrance that looked okay. When I started walking by my side, the guy was like, “Ah, ah, ah, ah.” I was like, “Oh my God. Not the ah, ah, ah.' … He was like, 'I told you to go to the other entrance.' I was like, “That's pretty much it. Let's go.”
Footage ensued of confrontation courtesy of him TMZ and Wayne didn't seem to want anything to do with the argument, so he and his crew quickly departed the courtyard area through the arena tunnel.
Unfortunately, Wayne and his friends missed out on a great game as the Lakeshow ended up defeating the lowly Washington Wizards – who had not won a game all of February – in overtime by a score of 134-131. Let's hope the New Orleans rapper's beloved Lakers can take on him in his next trip to the Crypto.com Arena.
