Boxing champion Terence Crawford joined Lil Wayne on the latest episode of “Weezy’s Young Money Radio” on Apple Music. The chat naturally touched on the iconic moment last summer when Eminem walked Crawford out to the ring for his fight against Errol Spence Jr.
Lil Wayne, visibly impressed, acknowledged the rarity of Eminem’s appearance:
I hope you realise how much of a legend you are ’cause you got Eminem to walk out with you. He don’t do that for nobody. Man, Em don’t even come out for shows, nothing.
Crawford, still basking in the moment, recalled his initial disbelief when Eminem first reached out:
Man, I was thrown by that. When he commented on my Instagram post, I was like, wow! Then I commented back, and he replied. I was kinda skeptical until he got there and we got there. I was like, oh, this is real!
Lil Wayne, sharing his own experience with Eminem, recounted seeing him at the Tyson Fury fight:
Shout out to Em. I saw him at Tyson’s fight, too. Tyson Fury fight. He was up there, and I was like, damn, they got Em come way out here? And he had like a million people around him, and it looked so aggravating.
The conversation highlights Lil Wayne and Crawford’s immense respect for Eminem, showcasing the rapper’s legendary status and his willingness to support those he admires.
