The gravity of the moment was not lost on Lil Wayne, who said: “Gold status!! Dat my slime YM Yuto! He goat gang fresh 4L on gang!”

Lil Wayne started skateboarding around 2010 after he did a stint in Rikers Island for possessing a loaded .40 caliber pistol on his tour bus when he was in New York for a show.

The rapper even has his own private skatepark in Miami, Florida where he has skated with professionals like Torey Pudwill, Chaz Ortiz, Raymond Nina, and others.
