The rapper got angry that he couldn’t access the country due to the amount of jewelry he had on his person, and was ready to go back to his plane and leave.
What transpired with the airplane staff reached the ear of the Saudi prince, Mohammed bin Salman. And immediately he headed for Lil' Wayne's hotel room with expensive gifts to apologize for the trouble.”
“The gifts included a $25k (N11 million) Franck Muller wristwatch. But he did not end there.”
After having a chat with Lil Wayne and about leaving the room, he said, ‘Oh, I forgot, Lamborghini or Ferrari?’ I thought it was a general question. I said ‘Lamborghini’— I thought he was asking me which one was better.”
Then he asked, ‘What color?’ I said ‘black.’ He said, ‘In front of your house in three weeks. I’m very sorry for this.’ I was still thinking that he was joking, too. I said Lamborghini truck, I heard they are new. I got that like two or three days ago!”
