Lil Wayne Says Jay-Z Helped Him With His Taxes, Says Jay and Swizz Beatz Are “Real Friends”

In the entertainment industry, many fall victim to their own celebrity status, but fortunately for Lil Wayne, he was able to make it through his tough time – musically and financially – with the help of his “real friends” Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Over the weekend, on the final stop of his “I Ain’t *$*& Without You” tour in Chicago, Weezy opened up about his relationship with the music legends and revealed how the two helped him through his personal struggle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“There’s people like Jay-Z. He helped me when I was really, really, really, down. Really, really really down,” Wayne said on Sunday. “Jay don’t want me to tell nobody. That man helped me with my taxes.” 

As the rapper continued, he paid his respects to super producer Swizz, who is featured on his hit single, “Uproar,” for always providing him with new opportunities to create. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“There’s people like Swizz Beatz that’s gonna send me every beat he make and want me to rap on every single one until I got my situation straight,” Wayne revealed. “He don’t want me to talk about it.” 

“These are real friends, y’all.”
