Lil Wayne Calls Lil Baby His Favorite Artist

Weezy touched on one of his most iconic fashion moments while also revealing who his current favorite artist is.

Sneaker Shopping wrapped up its tenth season with an appearance from Lil Wayne.

In a bonus clip, Weezy touched on one of his most iconic fashion moments while also revealing who his current favorite artist is.

When explaining his love for A Bathing Ape and his legendary Vibe cover, Tunechi reveals that QC's Lil Baby is his favorite artist.

"You can say streetwear but they went there," Lil Wayne said when explaining BAPE's ascension as a brand. "With that being said, I just saw on The Breakfast Club, my favorite artist Lil Baby, I saw Lil Baby with the BAPE x Coach collaboration jacket. ... So they doing things. Shoutout Bathing Ape."

Lil Wayne is known for staying in his own bubble. In fact, when someone tried to introduce him to 21 Savage, he was convinced that the solo artist was a group. Yet as a student of music, Weezy will end up finding a sound that entices him. His affinity for Lil Baby has led to multiple collaborations. Baby is featured on Lil Wayne's Funeral album on the track "I Do" with Big Sean.

Wayne is also featured on "Forever" from Lil Baby's new album, My TurnThis project debuted as the no. 1 album in the country, giving Lil Baby his first chart-topping album.
