URGENT UPDATE: Master P has reached out to Lil Wayne to perform at the University of New Orleans (UNO) basketball season opener on November 8. In a surprising announcement made during a visit to TMZ, the hip-hop mogul, now serving as UNO’s President of Basketball Operations and assistant coach, expressed his excitement about bringing star power to the struggling program.
“I reached out to Lil Wayne’s management team, so we’re gonna see how that goes,” Master P stated, emphasizing his commitment to revitalizing the basketball program. “But if it doesn’t work out for the first game, we’ve got 11 more home games where we can bring him in.”
The upcoming season promises more than just basketball; Master P is also eyeing other major artists. “I’m gonna hit up J. Cole,” he revealed, highlighting the wealth of talent in Louisiana, including NBA Youngboy and Boozy. His ambition to elevate the game experience not only aims to excite fans but also to boost recruitment.
Master P’s mission extends beyond entertainment. He is passionate about giving back to the community, influenced by the support he received in his youth. “My coach saved my life,” he said, reflecting on the impact of mentorship. “I want to pay that back and help the next generation, help kids where I grew up to find the next P, the next successful person from poverty.”
In a bold move to engage local youth, Master P plans to personally fund the attendance of 4,000 middle schoolers at UNO games this season. “If I could start reaching middle school students and preparing them for college,” he explained, “then crime will go down, poverty will go down, and we’ll be able to create these diamonds in the rough.”
The stage is set for an electrifying season at UNO with Master P’s unique vision and commitment to education. As the basketball community awaits further developments, fans are eager to see if Lil Wayne will grace the court and how this initiative will inspire young athletes across Louisiana.
