It Seems Kyle Brandt Is Not the Biggest Fan of Lil Wayne
It Seems Kyle Brandt Is Not the Biggest Fan of Lil Wayne
On Saturday morning, NFL Network host Kyle Brandt announced on X/Twitter that he would be interviewing superstar rapper and producer Lil Wayne. However, Brandt openly admitted that he wasn’t familiar with the music of the Grammy-winning artist and even asked fans for recommendations on which songs he should listen to before the interview.
This revelation caught Pat McAfee, a former NFL star turned media mogul, completely off guard. McAfee expressed his disbelief at Brandt’s lack of knowledge about Lil Wayne’s music, humorously calling him out on national television before the NFL Wild Card Playoff round.
Pat McAfee Roasts Kyle Brandt on Live TV
McAfee criticized Brandt in his signature humorous yet cutting style:
“Before I wrap this up and get out of here, as someone who graduated high school in 2005 and then went to college for the next three years, [Kyle] Brandt, the way you’re talking about Lil Wayne like he’s some new up-and-coming artist… it’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen on television,” McAfee said during NFL Network’s Wild Card Playoff coverage on Sunday.
“Your ignorance is unbelievable”
McAfee didn’t stop there. He continued to mock Brandt for tweeting about which songs he should listen to:
“I saw your tweet like, ‘Hey, what song should I listen to?’ Just open Spotify, pick a song with a billion streams, and maybe start there. Lil Wayne has been nominated for 26 Grammys, and you’re out here acting like, ‘Oh my god, his fans are so intense, I had no idea, they’re telling me I’m not ready for the remixes.’”
He added with a mix of humor and disbelief:
“I’m just thinking, wow, your ignorance has no bounds. This is unbelievable, Kyle. I’m a big fan of yours, but this is one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen on television—the way you’re talking about Lil Wayne.”
A Humorous but Eye-Opening Exchange
McAfee’s reaction not only brought laughs to the audience but also highlighted the cultural gap in music knowledge between generations and the importance of proper preparation when dealing with a global icon like Lil Wayne.
This humorous incident will likely serve as a memorable lesson for Kyle Brandt on the importance of doing his homework before interviewing a superstar.
