NLE Choppa is a huge fan of Lil Wayne and grew up on his music – and he was able to give the legendary rapper his physical flowers on set of their new music video.

The pair got together earlier this month to shoot the visuals to a song named “Ain’t Gonna Answer.” Weezy guests on the NLE track, and the latter said it will be arriving on February 24 – unless his behind-the-scenes post from the shoot garners one million likes. In which case, the song will arrive on Friday (February 17).

As of the time of this writing, the like count is about halfway there.

While on set, NLE Choppa gifted Wayne both flowers and a handwritten note to show his appreciation for him – which Wayne received with full gratitude.

“First and foremost, I feel like accolades never define the artist,” NLE started out while handing Wayne the flowers. “But me personally, I feel like you supposed to have way more accolades at your weight. You [inaudible] to a point in time to where you just receiving accolades. I think it was a few days ago, you won an award.”

He continued: “So man I just wanted to present my own accolade, physically giving you flowers and a note to let you know how much you inspired me and impacted my life. I have a skateboard too that I signed. I know you like to skateboard.”

“I appreciate that,” Lil Wayne responded. “This is my life right here. For real, for real. Whatever cameras, if y’all watching – be like this guy, man. Be like this guy. He’s a good guy, man. For real. I do this a lot. I’m on video sets a lot – new artists, old artists. This doesn’t happen. This doesn’t happen. He’s a great guy.”

The attached note expressed similar sentiments.

“Dear Wayne, I simply wanted to physically gift you these flowers to symbolize my appreciation for you as an artist, icon and more importantly an inspiration,” NLE wrote. “Growing up I had 3 favorites – Kobe, 2pac and the one and only Dwayne Carter!!!

“I pray this is just the beginning to a big brother, lil brother relationship. With that being said I want to say THANK YOU, whole heartedly. Awards couldn’t even amount to how many lives you have changed and inspired. I am proud to be a part of both. Forever grateful.”

He signed off by adding that his favorite song is “God Bless Amerika” off Wayne’s 2013 album I Am Not a Human Being II.

Weezy has been receiving his flowers a lot as of late. In addition to the award NLE mentioned – which was the Grammy Academy’s Global Impact Award – his peers have been giving him his praise.

Joey Bada$$ recently revealed that he originally wanted to be signed to Young Money during the early days of his career, while Missy Elliott recently credited Tunechi with “birthing a whole generation.”

“@LilTunechi You have Birthed a whole generation after you & Its easy for people to acknowledge Some1’s GREATNESS when their no longer around but I want you to know YOU ARE LEGENDARY,” Missy wrote on Twitter in November. “No matter who thinks differently YOUR BLUEPRINT is PRESENT! No debate.”

She added: “Sometimes it’s hard to run into a real one in this business but when you do DON’T LET THEM GO A huge hug will let them know you appreciate them & their contributions to the CULTURE! Thank You @LilTunechi.”
