Drake Gives Lil Wayne a Custom OVO Chain While Accepting His World Impact Award

Drake has demonstrated his life and support for Lil Wayne by giving him a custom OVO chain while he was receiving his global impact award. 

Drake wasn’t physically present at the event. However, he did a short video to express his support and love for Wayne. Drake said, “Good evening, Grammys. Well, I haven’t gotten to say that since 2016.” 

He continued, “Lil Wayne…I love you so much. I know I probably get annoying with saying how much you mean to me and my family, but I think I speak on behalf of everybody when I say that our careers, our cadences, our melodies, maybe our face tats or our outfits or our decisions in general would not have been the same without your natural gift to just be yourself.” 

Lil Wayne in his speech recalled how he started out in his career to become a global and sort after rapper. He said, “I want you all to know that I don’t get honored. Where I’m from, New Orleans, you’re not supposed to do this.”

The rapper dedicated his speech to his mum, children, and mothers of his children. Wayne said, “And her son had just blown up and went on his first tour. When I came home she said, ‘Son, I can’t live in this house by myself. We’re going to have to figure something out.’ 

He added, “I’d like to thank Antonia Johnson [Reginae Carter’s mother] for reasoning with me and my mom, and my life. I’d like to thank every single one of my kids and every single one of their mothers.”
