Rapper Lil Wayne has paid homage to late basketball legend Kobe Bryant by including 24 seconds of silence in his new album “Funeral”.
The 37-year-old rapper, who released his new album Funeral on Friday, included 24 seconds of silence on his eight-track, a touching gesture to Lakers player’s retired jerseys numbers, reports dailymail.co.uk.
While appearing on a sports show “Undisputed” on January 31, Wayne had confirmed that his last-minute change to the track was to honour Bryant.
“That right there, I have to thank my big brother Mack,” he said of the 24 seconds of silence, adding: “You know that was an idea he called me with right then and there. A day later, he called me with this idea he thought of and of course I confirmed it, I agreed with it.”
