Rapper Lil Wayne causes controversy when he criticizes the Lakers: ‘If the Lakers want to be a championship team, they have to get rid of Anthony Davis’

Lil Wayne had previously voiced dissatisfaction with the service quality at the Crypto.com Arena during the Lakers vs. Wizards game on March 1st. The Grammy-winning rapper stated that the security personnel at the arena had shown disrespect towards him. According to Wayne, this stems from his criticism of Anthony Davis back in November.

“Wow!” Lil Wayne tweeted. “I just got treated horribly at the Lakers game, but I guess sooner or later they’ll do that to me for what I said. I get it though, I’m used to it.”

Lil Wayne accuses the security staff of being disrespectful towards him as he moved to his seat. They wanted Wayne to queue up, but instead of politely asking, the staff behaved rudely. The male rapper further stated that he had never encountered these security personnel before, so they weren’t the usual faces he encounters at Lakers games.

What did Lil Wayne say about Anthony Davis?

Back in November, Wayne had urged the Lakers to consider trading Anthony Davis. He emphasized that the Lakers wouldn’t be able to win again with Davis.

“If the Lakers want to be champions…they gotta get rid of AD,” the rapper said amid the Lakers’ early-season struggles.

Lil Wayne argued that Davis was too injury-prone, unable to provide consistent performances throughout the season, and the Lakers didn’t necessarily need another superstar alongside LeBron James.

Since Wayne couldn’t prove whether his remarks about Davis were related to the Lakers vs. Wizards incident or not, the rapper’s words weren’t widely supported. Additionally, Wayne has recently acknowledged that Davis has been playing better since November, even in Lakers’ losses.
