In a newly-released video clip from a past studio session, D.C. rapper Wale and actor/comedian Jerry Seinfeld are seen lightheartedly chopping it up in the studio, but according to the The Gifted rapper, he was slightly intimidated upon first meeting the former “Seinfeld” star.
After speaking to Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club about how a chance encounter with Seinfeld’s accountant and a few phone calls eventually led to the pair’s first meeting, Wale revealed that he felt “inferior” when first meeting the actor.
“I was nervous as shit when I first met him,” said Wale. “I was real nervous. Cause that was just like, he white and he rich. He’s just from another whole world and I just kinda felt inferior a little bit. In retrospect, at that point I didn’t know why I was feeling that way.”
Wale later added that he expected Seinfeld to come across as arrogant and was surprised to instead find that their interaction with one another was “super chill.”
“You used to nigga’s that’s that poppin’ to kind of have an arrogance about them, so I was expecting it and it wasn’t there. Initially, I did feel kind of inferior to him,” he explained. “But now it’s like super chill. We talk, we banter, we joke around, and all that other stuff.”
Jerry Seinfeld’s addition to The Gifted can be found towards the end of the project on “Outro About Nothing.” Released on June 25, The Gifted serves as Wale’s third studio album and boasts appearances from Cee Lo Green, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, and more.

You owe me $2 million dollars for that little skit, Wale. Pay up, or I’ll send Michael Richards after you.
Ha.
I would be nervous around Jerry as well. Seinfeld best show in tv history
JERRY!
I don’t co-sign to this
Most overrated show of all time. Not bad at all, but incredibly overrated. If it would have been produced nowadays, it would be a flop after the first season. Time factor was the big part of it’s success, that’s for sure.
Most overrated show of all time because of what you describe as a “time factor.” Explain to me then why you can still find 6 episodes a day of re-runs on national T.V. stations. It’s not a mistake why they still play is soo much. Ignorant ass nigga.
Nervous from another human? #BitchStatus
wale is wack as fuck he acts like a little fucking faggot
Whoever is hating on Seinfeld as a show is just a hater man. That show broke so many barriers and set a standard for what comedies should be about. Love that dude.
It was so overrated.
you have poor taste my friend
one of the best shows of ALL TIME
^^ Not even close nigga that shit was sooooooo wack
tell me your top 3
Lmao at nigga getting offended over Seinfeld, hahahahaha
Seinfeld is a classic bruh
i been on a seinfeld kick for the last month or so, shit is classic, i’ll take seinfeld re runs all day over most of these abc, nbc bullshit sitcoms
I rather watch Smart Guy
wale sucks and looks stuck up
He looks like a 12 year boy with down syndrome.
i would hope you felt inferior! it’s jerry fucking seinfeld and wale is just a local ass rapper. jerry never even heard of that nicca he was just doing it to please his girlfriend who is a wale fan apparently
get off of jerry’s matzo balls you starstruck groupie
how am i a groupie? truth is jerry didnt know or give a fuck about wale. hes only doing this for publicity and for his main bitch
No white man should ever make a Black man feel inferior. In fact, it’s the white man that’s inferior.
Your just mad Jerry Seinfeld is worth $800 million while you struggle to keep the lights in your cardboard box on.
that ain’t your money YT your inferiority complex is showing
Fucking lynch all jiggaboos
ya’ll need to hug it out
This nigga might as well feel inferior when meeting any regular person on the street
lol
whoopi goldberg ass ninja
That’s Lupe Fiasco
Jerry Seinfeld isn’t shit, Larry David made him.
Have you ever seen Jerry Seinfeld perform stand up live? I guarantee he last thing you will be thinking is “Jerry Seinfeld is shit.”
Jaz-O made Larry David
he’s pretty.. pretty.. pretty ….. pretty good
Cheers and Friends were better shows.
Wale smarter than Jerry Seinfeld, wale puttin up illusions i see right through you nigga
seinfeld=friends=that 70’s show=big bang theory
recycled sitcom plot, a bunch of “friends” at the crossroads trying to find their path while intermingling with each other, word to ‘Bosom Buddies’, ‘Laverne & Shirley’, ‘A Different World’, ‘Martin’, ‘Living Single’
‘Little House On The Prairie’ & ‘3rd Rock’ were huge hits too with a twist to what? the same old sitcom plot. Like ‘The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air’, ‘Family Matters’, ‘Good Times’, ‘All In The Family’, ‘Good Times’, lol, ‘The Andy Griffith Show’, ‘Hogan’s Heroes’, ‘M*A*S*H’
What makes you think that ‘Seinfeld’ is GOAT because of earnings and your opinion? lol at you bunch of gullible, suspect, sheltered nerds.
‘Soap’>>>>>’Seinfeld’
‘Family Guy’>>>>>’Seinfeld’
YOU CRACKED THE CODE ON THESE HOES!!!
If you think Seinfeld was somehow “recycled”, bitten or borrowed from anything else then I am thinking you never watched it before.
You couldn’t be more wrong, a lot of those shows, (if not all) mentioned were family sitcoms with morales & messages… all Seinfeld ever did was make fun of people! How is a guy getting deported a morale good ending? The soup nazi??? Georges wife dying from cheap stamps he bought for the wedding? That’s family matters? Thats andy griffith?
I don’t even like commenting on here all the time, and sometimes I completely ignore the comment section to avoid the stupidity, your not only 100% false but then you call people nerds…c’mon son.
follow at noles506
for real dude seinfeld came before all of those shows you listed, started in the late 80s i believe
recently a publication i cannot recall did a list of the top 100 tv shows and seinfeld was ranked number 2 behind the sopranos
personally I would take The wire,breaking bad,soprano’s, and oz above seinfeld but as far as comedy sitcoms go seinfeld is one of the best ever
did you ever see that skit jerry seinfeld did for saturday night live when he goes to OZ? shit was classic
read first and comprehend before you respond, noles506 doesn’t know what “with a twist” means
I named seinfeld first in the equation, THEN named shows before it underneath. that publication doesn’t speak for all people that’s why I said don’t be gullible
Laverne & Shirley
What’s Happening
Cheers
Martin
Seinfeld
Big Bang Theory
are all the same recycled sitcom if you can see
fun fact: I’ve met jerry too, cool guy
Martin was one of the dumbest fucking shows ever, and should never be mentioned in the same sentence with Big Bang Theory or Friends.
lol, I can take this back to ‘I Love Lucy’! snot nosed kids better pay attention
