Many found it odd when Q-Tip called Atlanta trio Migos “Tha Truth” on Twitter earlier this month and now, followers of the legendary producer have had something else unexpected come across their timelines.
According to Q-Tip’s Twitter, Lil Wayne has become the newest member of The Zulu Nation.
“@LilTunechi is now a member of the ZULU NATION! Join us wearezulunation@gmail.com,” he said in the first tweet. “Help me in welcoming @LilTunechi to fold of the Zulus.” Wayne has yet to publicly comment on his involvement with the group or explain the reasoning for joining.
Tip has been one of the group’s most vocal members during the last few years. He also has had an album in the works for quite some time entitled The Last Zulu.
