\n\tThe New Orleans rap legend and Carton are set to record the first episode with a live podcast taping at Fanatics Fest NYC<\/a> on Sunday (July 19) featuring guests like former New York Jets star Darrelle Revis, ex-New York Knicks forward Amar\u2019e Stoudemire and New York Giants Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe best podcasts feel like you just kicking it with your people, talking the same way you do when nobody\u2019s listening,\u201d Wayne, who previously hosted Young Money Radio on Apple Music, said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019ma light one up with the homie Craig and we gonna talk our sh-t about whatever the day brings. You never know who\u2019s gonna pull up or where the conversation\u2019s gonna go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWayne and Carton seem like an unlikely duo, but the pair have been friends for years. As a massive fan of the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Lakers, Weezy can talk sports<\/a> just as easily as he can spit a verse. <\/p>\n

\n\tCraig Carton actually had Lil Wayne on his WFAN radio show in March, where Carton called him the \u201cbiggest sports fan\u201d he knows. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s nothing better than swapping takes with Wayne on sports, pop culture and a whole host of other topics,\u201d Carton added in a statement. \u201cThe Joint Venture show gives us a great excuse to keep doing what we\u2019ve been doing for years, while also having some famous friends stop by and chop it up with us. There\u2019s no better job in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore heading to Fanatics Fest NYC, Lil Wayne will continue his tour<\/a> celebrating 20 years of Tha Carter on Friday (July 17) with a show in Chicago. Weezy\u2019s last album, Tha Carter VI, arrived in June 2025 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. <\/a><\/p>\n
