“I make songs for moments,” Wayne told Drake. “Like right after a movie moment. Like, right in the middle the movie. Right before the movie, the conversation…” Drake interrupted to confirm that Lil Wayne‘s vault is packed. “You got so many joints. You got so many songs that’s like…I remember one the biggest things in life was reminding you the songs. Trying to figure out what month’s hard drive the song that I was looking for was on ’cause you have so many joints, it’s insane.”
Then, Weezy and Drizzy touched on the OVO Sound leader recently sharing photos his son. By the sound things, Lil Wayne hasn’t yet met little Adonis Graham. Drake shared that “it was great” for him to post the pictures his son on social media. “It wasn’t anything I talked about or anything I planned,” he said. “I just woke up one morning and said, ‘You know what, this is just something that I wanna do.'” He added that he just wanted to be able to wake up and go places with his little boy without having to hide or shelter him from the world.
