On Tuesday, Weezy makes his new residence on Rikers Island. But before he turns himself in, he has DJ Scoob Doo document his last days of freedom. In his final pre-jail interview, Weezy explains the origins of his Twitter alias, Liltunechi.

“My nickname is Lil Tune — my grandmother named me that,” he explained. “She’s passed. My grandmother, her name was Mercedes Carter. She named me Lil Tune. We just threw the ‘Chi’ on there. Like Gucci, I say ‘Tunechi!’ “

    you people can’t be that dumb. Sigh. OK, Lil Wayne having a twitter account is important because as one of the biggest stars in the world, it’s become a direct line of communication to his fans. Secondly, this is his FIRST pre jail interview. So, he used the opportunity to explain the name behind his account. Got it? Good. Now, if u don’t like it, visit someone else down the URL.

    Good luck, cuz 50 got 2.4 million followers. I doubt any rapper touches that. Then you got soulja boy @ 2 milli

    My prediction, Wayne tops out at 1million followers.
    Him and Conan joined twitter at the same time and Conan has twice his followers (500K).

  19. I believe everything typed made a bunch of sense.
    But, what about this? what if you added a little information?
    I ain’t saying your content is not good, but suppose you added a post title that grabbed a person’s attention?

    I mean Rap Radar :: Lil Wayne Explains His Twitter Name is kinda plain.
    You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write article titles to grab viewers interested. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve written.
    Just my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
