Lil Wayne Gets Ripped to Shreds For Outfit at College Football Championship: ‘Looking Like Dennis Rodman’

Lil Wayne performed at the 2019 College Football Championship on Monday, Jan. 8, and it seems like his outfit was the star of the show but not in a good way, according to the people who left comments.

The New Orleans rhymer hit the stage with the rock group Imagine Dragons, but Weezy was dressed in more rock star attire than they were.

Lil Wayne got clowned for the outfit he wore at the 2019 College Football Championships.

He donned a floppy black hat, Elton John-esque sunglasses with rhinestones on them, a scarf that nearly hung to the ground, and a multicolored fur coat that was extremely hard to miss.

After the performance, the jokes and memes came pouring in like water, and the rapper was compared to everyone from the McDonald’s character the Hamburgler to E.T.

One woman even imagined what the conversation was like between Wayne and his stylist when the outfit was chosen, and she wrote she out the dialogue.

“Stylist: Which outfit would you like to wear, sir?”

“Lil Wayne: Yes,” the person wrote.

People also made all kinds of comparisons about the 36-year-old and said he looked like an old lady.

“Lil Wayne looks like my grandma in her nightie,” another wrote. “Big glasses and talking to herself in the corner.”

“Why is Lil Wayne out here looking like Dennis Rodman?” another wrote.

“Tell me why Lil Wayne looks like Scooby Doo when he tried to sneak into the airport,” a third person commented.

Weezy hasn’t said anything about the outfit or the ridicule, but you can see his performance at the College Football Championship below.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
