    Lil Wayne Confirms La'Tecia Thomas Romance Rumors, Calls Her 'Wifey' on New Album 'Funeral'

    Instagram

    Despite not explicitly mentioning the Australian plus-size model’s name, the rapper makes it obvious he’s rapping about her on two tracks off his newly-released album.

    AceShowbiz – Lil Wayne is no longer keeping his relationship with La’Tecia Thomas a secret. On Friday, January 31, the 37-year-old rapper unveiled his highly-anticipated album “Funeral”, on which he confirms his romance rumors with the plus-size model.
    Despite not explicitly mentioning her name, Weezy makes it obvious that he’s rapping about her on the album’s sixth track “Stop Playin with Me”. He spits his bars, “Ooh, I got a plus sized model/ But she my lil’ mama/ I make her bust open for me like a pinata/ And as the world turned, she was my spin doctor.”
    He later makes it even more obvious on its ninth track “Not Me” that finds him rapping, “You know wifey from Australia, she said, ‘Cheers, mate,’/ Then we toast and see how you n***s tears taste/ Mix the soda and Codeine, that’s a mixtape.”

    It’s unclear when Weezy and La’Tecia started dating. Some speculated that the two might have met through social media after he slid into her DMs while overseas, as the rapper previously said in an interview, “I saw someone on TV and I was like, ‘I don’t know how to get in touch with this person.’ I met a very, very special person.”
    Back in July last year, Weezy and La’Tecia ignited engagement rumors after the latter was caught flaunting a diamond ring that was reportedly given to her by her rapper boyfriend. Neither of them has responded to this rumor.
    His love life aside, “Funeral” features other 22 songs beside “Stop Playin’ with Me” and “Not Me”. The album, which has been teased since 2016, also sees him collaborating with the likes of Big Sean, Adam Levine, Takeoff of Migos and the late XXXTentacion.
    The Young Money founder previously said of the album, “I thought y’all knew my mixtapes, my albums, they all have their little categories. You got the ‘Da Droughts’, you got ‘The Prefix’, ‘The Suffix’, you got ‘Sorry for the Wait’ 1, 2, 3, 4, you got ‘Tha Carter’ I, II, III, IV, V. So you have ‘Rebirth’, and now you have ‘Funeral’. Just plain and simple, nothing else. There’s no backstory. It’s just ‘Rebirth’, ‘Funeral’ and maybe the next one would be ‘Reincarnation’. I don’t know.”

    Ellie Goulding Shoots Down Matt Healy's Suggestion People Don't Buy Her Album

    Reacting to The 1975 frontman’s comments about pop artists, the ‘Love Me like You Do’ hitmaker points out why she believes ‘people have been fairly invested’ in her music.
    Feb 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ellie Goulding has responded after The 1975’s Matt Healy suggested in a recent interview that people don’t buy her albums.
    The 30-year-old rocker was asked for his opinion about how streaming affects record sales in an interview with Beat Magazine.
    “The artists whose single streams are in the billions, people don’t buy their albums, necessarily…Ellie Goulding, people will listen to her music at the gym and they will listen to it on playlists,” he mused. “They’ll put the Pop playlist on and it will get out there. When it comes to her putting out a record, which is someone saying, ‘Will you invest in my lifestyle?’ or ‘Do you want to invest in me, as an idea?’…I have a lot of ‘Yes, I want to invest in you as an idea, and less, ‘I’ll pop this on when I’m doing whatever.'”
    But Ellie was less than impressed by Matty’s quote, hitting back on her Instagram Story, “I’ve had 3 multi platinum albums so I feel like people have been fairly invested but ok I’ll let you have it.”
    Elsewhere in his interview, Matty took aim at Drake, insisting he’s more interested in achieving longterm success than having popularity in the moment.
    “I’ve said this before, but the Drakes of the world, they’re professionals at keeping people’s attention for three minutes,” he explained. “They can do that again and again. I’m not that good at that. A single will happen accidentally throughout the myriad of writing songs.”
    “The way that we express ourselves is like longform. I can do it and I do it occasionally, I’d love it if we can make it work where I get a big idea down in three minutes. We’ve always been an albums band.”
