Lil Wayne is reportedly back in a committed relationship, having taken up with someone already intimately involved in his daily life: his live-in chef.
On Friday (October 18), TMZ Hip Hop shared that Weezy F. Baby has linked up with influencer and chef LeahAngelie Murphy, who began working with him in 2023.
Now, Wayne and his private chef are a whole lot more than just cooking buddies.
According to TMZ: “Weezy recently wined and dined her during her birthday blowout, and they later hit a skate park in L.A. to further celebrate.
Lil Wayne’s new girlfriend has likely helped to comfort him as he deals with the fallout of not being selected to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans this coming February.
Last month, the “Lollipop” rapper admitted it “hurt a lot.”
Following the outrage from peers and fans alike over the NFL’s decision to book Kendrick Lamar instead of NOLA’s own Weezy to perform at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, the Young Money leader finally addressed the situation in a video posted on Instagram.
A solemn-sounding Wayne began by thanking those who have spoken up in his defence, saying: “First of all, I want to say forgive me for the delay. I had to get strength enough to do this without breaking. I’ma say thank you to every voice, every opinion, all the care, love and support out there. Your words turned into arms and held me up when I tried to fall back.
He then shared his heartbreak and disappointment at the snub and blamed himself for getting his hopes up over the gig, which he had openly coveted prior to the announcement.
“That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot,” he continued. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown, and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blame myself for that.
“But I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot. But y’all are fucking amazing. It made me feel like shit not getting this opportunity and when I felt like shit, you guys reminded me that I ain’t shit without y’all… and that’s an amazing reality.”
Wayne concluded: “So, like I said, it broke me and I’m just trying to put me back together. But my God, have you all helped me. Thanks to all of my peers, my friends, my family, my homies on the sports television and everybody repping me. I really appreciate that, I really do.”
“I feel like I let all of y’all down by not getting that opportunity, but I’m working on me and I’m working. So thank you.”
