Some fans believe DJ Khaled lied about seeing Lil Wayne and Birdman’s first meeting in New Orleans decades ago.

The We The Best mogul told Shannon Sharpe on his newest Club Shay Shay podcast that he works with numerous A-list artists because he knew them before they were famous.

“I was there when Lil Wayne met Birdman,” he said. I DJed at Odyssey Records in New Orleans, where Lil Wayne used to go. I loved it so much that I got the owner of a record store to allow me DJ while people came in. For cassettes, Birdman and them drove to the record store and brought them out of the trunk. That was before their pact.

“They sold tapes. I remember it was a B.G. and Juvenile cassette, and record companies would phone all the time and say, ‘Is this really selling that much?’ I said, ‘Yeah!’ He would drop it off and sell it in 5 seconds. It would sell out. I want to demonstrate my work with the top artists. Have known them for a long time… Most of the major musicians we love were my creations at the time.”

He added: “I was younger or we were grinding at the same time and built this relationship. So when you see Ross, Wayne, or Future, I recall me and Future before Future was Future. I worked with greats in the start of my career, but they were becoming greats. You know, ‘I was there’? There I was.”

When Akademiks shared the clip, some fans commented to end Khaled’s story.

“Cap Birdman & Weezy was already famous back in the day While Khaled was In Pakistan Sellin Street food,” said one. Another said, “N-gga Birdman Knew Wayne Since He Was A Kid, thus Shit Cap.”

Third, “N-gga knew future before future, would that make him Past Tense? I’m curious.”

Some were skeptical. One responder called Khaled’s words “facts confirmed by Wayne,” while another commented, “This facts tho. City dwellers know that.”

Another fan wrote: “The mf was in Shottas, of course he knew them before they blew, he been in the game since the late 90’s wit [Terror Squad].”

Last month, Birdman discussed the unique struggle of raising Lil Wayne and B.G. as a young man.

In the early 1990s, Cash Money signed Wayne (then known as “Baby D”) and B.G. (then known as “Lil Doogie”) as the B.G.’z. B.G. later adopted the group name. The group’s 1995 debut album True Story included B.G. at 14 and Wayne at 12.

Birdman remembered living with B.G. and Wayne at one point. “B.G. was already living with me,” he said. I got B.G. from his mom.”
