Actually, Lil Wayne loves both F-words. The one that gets little kids mouths washed out with soap and the other one, Fashion. Like the French and the runway models, Weezy likes to get expressive with his style. Consider the Grammys: Drake put on a tux, LL donned a tux and a bevy of black hats, Adele wore not one but two black dresses, Katy Perry put  a smurf on her head, Rihanna wore a couple of rolls of tape to keep her boobies in place while Gaga wore a lace gag. But Wayne pshawed such desperate ploys at dress up and he showed up at the show in a yellow t-shirt. Such comfort! Such ease! But lest you think he forgot this was music’s biggest night, Wayne showed that he cares by proving that the devil is in the details. Forget tuxedo fittings, he showed his flair with his accessorizing. A wee red skateboard was Wayne’s date of the night. When it was time for a standing ovation, Wayne stood tall and proud with what looks to be a  miniature toy but was in fact a tricked out iPhone case.

Used to be a time that a man who paid such attention to the covering for his phone would be called a nerd. Used to be a time when clutching your phone as your musical peers performed and won awards would be considered rude. And used to be a time that if a grown man adored a tiny skateboard he couldn’t expect to be considered a great musical mind.  But let Lil’ Wayne be a lesson to us all, because such times are over and his little red skateboard isn’t going anywhere.
