Lil Wayne had a courtside seat for Game 7 between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns on Sunday (May 15), but his recent words came back to haunt him.
During Game 4 of the series on May 8, Weezy took to Twitter to call Luka Doncic a “ho” after he was left unimpressed with the way the Mavericks star was behaving on the court. While attending Game 7 at the Footprint Center on Sunday, a shell-shocked Wayne watched on as Doncic dropped 35 points, along with 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Luka Doncic’s impressive performance guided the Mavs to a hefty 123-90 win to secure a place in the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, Twitter users were quick to bring up Wayne’s previous tweet.
Skip Bayless acknowledged Lil Wayne sticking to his word and supporting his friend Chris Paul, hoping his presence would inspire him.
“My brother Lil Wayne told me Friday he’d be there for Chris Paul this evening in Phoenix – and he’s right there in the front row,” he wrote. “They have a deep connection from CP3’s days in New Orleans. I sure hope he inspires CP3 to snap out of his funk/slump.”

Chris Paul went on to finish the game with 10 points, one rebound, four assists and one steal. Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant also reacted to Weezy’s comments and Doncic’s performance, tweeting, “Wayne at the game too. luka took dat personal.”
Rapper Dizzy Wright added, “I blame lil Wayne for the way Luka acting right now lol sheeeeeeshhhhh.”
Lil Wayne’s relationship with Chris Paul goes back to the 12× NBA All-Star’s playing days for the New Orleans Hornets between 2005 and 2011.
“I’m a CP fan first, because, you know, he started in New Orleans, and I had season tickets,” Wayne said during an interview on What’s Wright? With Nick Wright. “He and I became brothers. He’s one of the greatest human beings on the planet earth, overlook basketball. That guy will bend over backwards for you. Just plain and easy. He’s only a nice guy. I used to be all the time a fan irrespective of the place he goes.”

an Eastern European just bust all up in Wayne’s guts! Hahahahahahahaaaa!!!!!
Certainly not the first man to bust in Wayne’s guts…
man how dare he diss on luka, Wayne a hoe
Weezy messed up big-time spitting salt at Luka that was not the brightest move on his part. People talking about Luka may be the next Bird, but I think he is almost a combo of Bird and Magic. His jumpers is not as pure as Bird’s he is close to Chris Mullen in that regard possibly Dennis “3-D” Scott with the shot. He can’t pass quite as well as Magic, yet he comes off the dribble better than Magic or Bird. He is his own person and the young man is only 23 with low post moves like Kevin McHale, Tim Duncan. The guy is a beast.
That’s how to do it- convert hate to great(ness).
Weezy A Ho
Doncic was laughing after every basket. Savage.
