Tottenham invite Lil Wayne to attend live game after rap legend's shock 'favourite team' revelation

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., aka Lil Wayne, has been a legend in American hip-hop for decades and is considered one of the most influential people in the music industry. During an Instagram Live broadcast, Lil Wayne revealed that Tottenham are his "favourite team" as he sat down to watch them in Premier League action.

On the Instagram live from his studio, the rapper said: "I'm in the studio, I'm in here watching the Premier League. You already know my favourite team is Tottenham, I don't know if you know about that but that is my favourite team."

Tottenham's social media team picked up on the viral clip and immediately sent out a response to the 41-year-old music artist on X. The north London club wrote on their official account: "Hey @LilTunechi, when you coming to a game?"

It remains to be seen whether Lil Wayne will take Spurs up on their offer, but Ange Postecoglou's side are now looking ahead to a crucial Premier League clash against Newcastle United on September 1. Tottenham drew their first game of the new season against newly-promoted Leicester before romping to a 4-0 home win over Everton.
