Lil Wayne is already enjoying the winter holiday, being gifted his first-ever signature skateboard deck just days before Christmas Day.
The present came from skate collective RX Philly, and it wasn’t just a one-off. Multiple editions of the custom deck were made – but they won’t be for sale.

“With the help of a few friends we were able to make this dream come true,” RX Philly’s caption reads. “Shout out everyone who’s been a supporter since day one. @liltunechi first signature board. Available for friends and family only. #rxforlife”

The gift comes just after Wayne made sure 150 teens in his New Orleans hometown had a special holiday season as well. The Young Money team collaborated with Wilson for ‘Weezy Christmas’ at a local Dave & Buster’s and it included a day of fun arcade games and sports equipment of their choice.
“I want to personally wish each of you a Merry Christmas,” Weezy said in a video to the kids. “And I know you love sports like I love sports, so I hit up my people at Wilson Sporting Goods to give you the gift of game. I specifically picked out everything myself, I hope you love everything and I hope you have an amazing holiday.”
Earlier this month, Lil Wayne earned his first-ever diamond certification over two decades into his legendary music career. His 2008 hit “Lollipop” surpassed 10 million sales in the U.S., and he was rewarded by the RIAA with a custom plaque.
Wayne reacted to the news with shock, excitement and gratitude, taking to Instagram to thank his fans and celebrate his achievement.

“My first joint to go diamond wowwww!!!” he wrote. “Thank you to all my fans and supporters I Ain’t Sh*t Without Y’all!!! #LongLiveStaticMajor.”
With his inaugural diamond plaque, Weezy now joins his Young Money protégés Drake and Nicki Minaj in the exclusive club of rap acts with at least one diamond single.
