Lil Wayne is set to premiere a brand-new single at WrestleMania 40 this weekend in the City of Brotherly Love.
Tunechi made the announcement during a surprise appearance on WWE RAW on Monday night (April 3). During a backstage segment, professional wrestler Jey Uso crossed paths with the rapper and asked him to pull up for the big event.
“I’ma be there and you know what, I’m bringing my single,” the Hot Boys veteran responded emphatically. “World premiere. WrestleMania. You know what it is.”
While he has not specified what song he will be performing, it will most likely be his upcoming single with Young Thug titled “Bless,” which will be featured on the Weezy vs. Wheezy collaborative album with producer Wheezy.
The 41-year-old announced the song’s release on Friday (April 4) along with a visualizer that features a wrestling ring.
WrestleMania XL is scheduled to take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday (April 6) and Sunday (April 7), with Wayne’s set for the first night.

Last week, Lil Yachty and ScHoolboy Qtalked about Lil Wayne’s “insane” album sales while expressing how stunned they were at the numbers he has generated over his illustrious career.
During an episode of the A Safe Place that aired in late March, the two rappers discussed album sales and how impressive Weezy’s run was.

“Lil Wayne did a million on a leaked, bootleg album! Tha Carter III. I had that album months before it came out. N-gga at the barber shop had it in the back of his Buick,” Yachty began. “Everyone clowned Rebirth. That’s his rock album, right? He was Drake before Drake!”
For context, the 2010 album in question moved 176,000 units in its first week.
To put this accolade in perspective, ScHoolboy Q’s latest album, Blue Lips peaked at No.13 on the Billboard 200 tally and, according to Hip Hop By The Numbers, sold 34,000 units in its first week.
