Some fans think DJ Khaled lied when he claimed to have witnessed Birdman and Lil Wayne’s historic meeting in New Orleans many years ago.

On his most recent episode of Club Shay Shay, the We The Best mogul revealed to Shannon Sharpe that he collaborates with several A-list musicians since he knew them before they became well-known.

He said, “I was there when Lil Wayne met Birdman.” Lil Wayne used to frequent Odyssey Records in New Orleans, where I was a DJ. I got the proprietor of a record store to let me DJ while customers came in since I was so in love with it. Birdman and the others drove to the record store and took tapes out of the trunk. It was prior to their agreement.

They offered cassettes for sale. Recalling the B.G. and Juvenile cassette, record labels would frequently contact and inquire, “Is this really selling that much?” Yes, I replied. In five seconds, he would drop it off and sell it. It would be completely sold out. I want to showcase my paintings alongside the best artists. I’ve known them for a very long period. I created the majority of the well-known musicians we enjoy today.

He went on, “We were grinding at the same time and developed this relationship when I was younger.” So I remember myself and Future before Future was Future, so when you see Ross, Wayne, or Future, that’s me. When I first started my career, I worked with greats, but they were also becoming greats. Do you mean “I was there”? I was there.

Several followers replied to put an end to Khaled’s story after Akademiks published the video.

One stated, “Back in the day, when Khaled was in Pakistan selling street food, Cap Birdman & Weezy were already well-known.” “N-gga Birdman Knew Wayne Since He Was A Kid, thus Shit Cap,” remarked another.

Third, “Would N-gga be considered past tense if he knew the future before the future? I’m intrigued.

A few people had doubts. Khaled’s statements were described as “facts confirmed by Wayne” by one respondent, and “this facts tho.” by another. City people are aware of that.

“Of course he knew them before they blew, he been in the game since the late 90’s wit [Terror Squad],” another fan commented. The MF was in Shottas.

Birdman talked about the special challenges of growing up raising B.G. and Lil Wayne last month.

Cash Money signed B.G. (then known as “Lil Doogie”) and Wayne (then known as “Baby D”) as the B.G.’z during the beginning of the 1990s. Later, B.G. took on the name of the group. In the group’s 1995 self-titled debut album True Story, Wayne was 12 and B.G. was 14.

Birdman recalled having lived with Wayne and B.G. at one time. He said, “B.G. was already living with me.” B.G. comes from his mother.
