Skate rap legend Lil Wayne has been balancing his love for skateboarding with his music career for years.
And even after his time with Thank You Skateboards came to an end, he has continued getting on the board.

With Thank You no longer around, Wayne was left without a board sponsor, but Braydon Szafranski pulled up with a pretty fitting birthday gift.
Szafranski hooked up Tunechi with a one of one pro board featuring the words “Best Rapper Ever” on the graphic.

Szafranski shared the gift on Instagram along with a message for Wayne, giving him some love ahead of his birthday.
“Happy early birthday to the ultimate goat🐐 @liltunechi .. keep grindin n doing the damn thang!! WE SALUTE YOU
Considering how much Wayne has contributed to skateboarding culture over the years, the gift feels right at home in his collection.
He has spent time around skaters, skate spots and contests while continuing to release music and tour.
Now he has a custom pro board from Szafranski that gives him a pretty wild title to ride around with. “Best Rapper Ever” is a serious claim.
But coming from a pro skater who respects Wayne, it makes for a pretty great birthday present.
