UPDATE: In an exciting development for sports and music fans alike, hip hop mogul Master P has reached out to Lil Wayne to perform at the University of New Orleans (UNO) during their upcoming basketball season opener on November 8, 2023. This news comes as Master P, now serving as UNO’s President of Basketball Operations and assistant coach, aims to revitalize the struggling basketball program.
During a recent visit to the TMZ offices, Master P shared his ambitious plans for the upcoming season. “I’m bringing some huge talent, but I reached out to Lil Wayne’s management team, so we’re gonna see how that goes,” he stated. If plans for the first game fall through, P reassured fans, “We’ve got 11 more home games which we can bring him in.”
But the musical excitement doesn’t stop there. Master P is also eyeing other major artists for future performances, including J. Cole and local stars like NBA Youngboy and Boozy. His vision aims to not only entertain but also enhance recruitment efforts for the program, making UNO a more attractive destination for young talent.
Why this matters now: The involvement of high-profile artists like Lil Wayne and J. Cole could significantly boost UNO’s visibility and appeal, especially among young athletes. Master P’s passion for uplifting the next generation is evident as he emphasizes that his mission extends beyond the court. “My coach saved my life and helped change my life,” he said. “I want to pay that back and help the next generation.”
In a heartwarming commitment to local youth, Master P revealed plans to personally fund 4,000 middle school students to attend games at UNO this season. “It’s all about education and the next generation,” he emphasized. His goal is to inspire young people from impoverished backgrounds to envision a brighter future and to pursue higher education.
As the countdown to the season opener nears, anticipation is building. Fans will not only witness basketball action but also potentially enjoy electrifying performances from some of hip hop’s biggest names. Master P’s vision for UNO is rapidly gaining traction and could transform the landscape of college basketball entertainment in New Orleans.
