Lil Wayne Shares Special Manning Family Story (@liltunechi)

Lil Wayne recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated ahead of the Super Bowl, where he spoke about his love for football and shared a story about the Manning family. The YMCMB superstar admitted that he’s a fanatic for the sport, and everyone knows not to call or bother him on Sundays. 

Speaking about his love for Peyton Manning, Wayne said “He is special. He is one of a kind. I am glad I am able to live to see him, to see the kind of things he is doing.”

He then shared a story about the Manning family, “I have a story about Peyton. A guy who has been on the road with us, he was like an uncle to us, he told us this story. When he was in jail, about to come home, he was put on one of those work-release things in New Orleans. Every morning, real early, he would clean the schoolyard of the (Isidore) Newman School (where the Manning kids attended). Because he was a prisoner, he would have to clean the schoolyard at 4 or 5 in the morning. There was not one morning, 4:30, 5 in the morning, he wouldn’t see Archie, Peyton, Cooper, or Eli out on the field. He’d see Archie throwing passes to Cooper, or Peyton throwing routes to Cooper. I don’t know if people know this, but it was Cooper who was the prodigy. He [the roadie] would tell us the story, you know, like it was destined.”
