Earlier today Lil Wayne took Instagram to respond to some of the comments surrounding his sitting in on Odell Beckham Jr’s most recent interview with ESPN’s Josina Anderson. During the interview, Beckham spoke candidly about his frustration with regarding the offensive scheme focusing on primarily on short yard passes that turn into big yard plays. Instead of plays that result in taking shots down the field and allowing Giants receivers to make plays. Ultimately taking a shot at his quarterback Eli Manning.
“I don’t know,” Beckham said when he was asked if there was an issue at quarterback. “Like I said, I feel like he’s not going to get out the pocket. He’s not — we know Eli’s not running it. But is it a matter of time issue? Can he still throw it, yeah, but it’s been pretty safe and it’s been, you know … cool catching shallow [routes] and trying to take it to the house. But I’m, you know, I want to go over the top of somebody.”
Eli would respond to his teammate’s comments by stating “that he doesn’tย watch Lil Wayne a lot. Eli then said it was big for Odell to set the record straight with the team.
Asked about Odellโs comments, Eli cracked that he doesnโt watch Lil Wayne a lot. Eli then said it was big for Odell to set the record straight with the team.

Hereโs whatย Wayne said about Isola: โIโve been hearing things like, if (Odell) wants to be taken seriously, why would he do an interview with Lil Wayne sitting next to him? โฆ The person that said that is a reporter, journalist from New York by the name of Frank Isola. Frank, I rock with you. I actually like you, when you come on TV, I like your heavy New York, Italian whatever accent, I like the way you do your thing, you say what you want to say, you get your point across, but you mentioned my name, my name came out your mouth this time. When that happens, Iโm going to fire back at you. โฆ I donโt know much about you though. Fact is, you donโt know much about me. With that said, keep my name out your mouth.โ
And he also responded to Manningโs joke:
To Eli โฆ every time somebody bad mouths you, Iโll be the first one to say โ you can ask Skip Bayless, thatโs my homie, shoutout Skip โ is โman listen, I got an uncle that was doing time that remembered seeing Eli, Archie, Peyton, Cooper, he remembers seeing them at five in the morning every other morning on the schoolyard, way before the students get there, practicing.โ Iโm the first one to back you up โฆ and here you talk about you donโt watch Lil Wayne much. Thatโs fine, thatโs fine. Iโm cool with you, I donโt care what you watch or listen to. But you know, this is hometown love, man. You ainโt gotta do me like that. I didnโt say anything bad about you.โ
He went on to say the way Manning has been playing, he should listen to the rapperโs new Tha Carter V. prior to taking the field. Wayne would then turn his attention back to Isola and said the interview was edited and that he wasnโt a โyes manโ while sitting next to Beckham. Wayne talked about the organic and genuine conversation that Beckham, Anderson, and himself were having that aired last week.

Lil Wayne brought up the point that Isola was mad that he couldn’t get the sitdown opportunity to interview Beckham. There has been a lot of stories as of late that are being broken by non-mainstream media outlets or journalist away from the normal.ย In which, it looks like people such as Isola have started to take notice and now they are starting voice their opinion on it.
