Back in July 2014, TMZ reported that Lil Wayne was looking to start his own sports management company. Not only that, but the rapper reportedly planned to get his business off the ground with a bang by signing Cristiano Ronaldo as his very first client. Apparently, Wayne wanted to handle all of Ronaldo’s business dealings in the States, including branding, marketing, and endorsements. Sadly, the soccer great soon shut down talk of such an unexpected collab as he took to Twitter to set the record straight. “There have been news about changes on my management team — it’s all false, and I can assure the team is — and will be — the same,” he wrote.

Perhaps now that Ronaldo is hunting for a new team, it’s a good time to revisit Wayne’s idea. As TMZ noted at the time, Ronaldo and Wayne appear to be friends. Indeed, the pro athlete hung out with Wayne and rappers Santi and Euro on an episode of “Weezy Wednesdays” that appeared on YouTube just a few days after his tweet. In the video, the foursome can be seen hanging out on a couch in a Los Angeles hotel room and while the result has been called “so bizarre” and “the weirdest crossover of all time,” Ronaldo seems to have had a good time. While he didn’t say much, he did laugh a lot before doing his best Weezy impersonation, saying “Young Money!”
