Kevin Durant may have a viable Hip-Hop pivot once he’s done playing in the NBA. Lil Wayne revealed the two-time national champion was initially featured on the Welcome 2 Collegrove collaborative project with 2 Chainz. According to the New Orleans native, the professional athlete has rap skills.
Speaking with Taylor Rooks, Lil Wayne confirmed the song with him and Durant exists after Rooks introduced the topic.
“He said he had a question,” explained the journalist, referring to Durant who she had previously spoken with. “Are you going to drop a snippet of you all’s song on the radio show?”
“Why would KD do that,” laughed Lil Wayne. “Because…that was on the wrap. That was on the low.”
The chart-topping rapper continued to explain how the unnamed song came to be.
“KD You’ve messed up, now that you’ve done that. I just want you to know you messed up. That song was being considered to be on Carter VI and now since you’re saying something, it’s not going on [the] Carter VI. No, I’m not playing the snippet.”
He continued to laugh, “It was actually supposed to go on the Collegrove album with me and 2 Chainz that just came out, but I saved it. I wanted it for something else.”
Describing the Phoenix Suns player’s rhyme skills, Weezy shared, “KD’s a jewel. He’s a backpack rapper. I can imagine he probably could call a timeout in a game, and probably ask him to rap and he probably got a verse for you.”
Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz officially released Welcome 2 Collegrove in November 2023 after years of anticipation. Across 21 tracks, the album features Usher, 21 Savage, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Benny The Butcher, Vory, and Marsha Ambrosius, with narration from 50 Cent.
