Whether it's Jay-Z's trademark Yankees cap, Snoop's collection of Lakers jerseys or Nelly's Cardinals gear, it's certainly not unusual for rappers to wear the attire of their favorite pro or college teams.
Seldom if ever, however, has a rapper donned a women's basketball jersey on stage.
That changed Tuesday night when Lil Wayne walked on stage for his concert at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana, clad in Skylar Diggins' No. 4 Notre Dame jersey. Lil Wayne had previously saluted the Notre Dame sophomore guard on Twitter prior to the women's national title game last week, telling her "Kongrats to @skydigg4, my wife. Now bring it home baby."
Maybe Lil Wayne was so inspired by Notre Dame's run to the title game that he's become an avid Irish hoops fan. More likely he has a not-so-subtle ulterior motive for donning Diggins' jersey.
Either way, the Notre Dame sophomore is taking it in stride. She laughed when informed by one of her Twitter followers that the rapper was wearing her jersey on stage.
"@LilTunechi is hilarious for that one!," she tweeted. "idc wht ANYbody says, thts love...I'm a fan, so I can be happy!"

Lil Wayne did say on record, he wanted to ‘F” every girl in the world. So what if he changes women like he changes his shitty drawers who’s counting…LOL!
Haha, I attend this concert and i seriously died laughing for a good few minutes, because we were at IU, and he was wearing ND stuff. It was just ironic to a Purdue fan haha
I love the fact that Lil' Wayne is putting SOUTH BEND aka NotreDame, Indiana on the map ! ! Racism still exists!! Alot of people just want attention from others so they say the most hurtful @#$% just to see what response their going to get!!! ASSHOLES LOL
Nobodys really hating on Lil Waybe....hes a miilionare more power to him but his music is GARBAGE!!!
Hopefully Diggins has enough sense to stay away form him , before he knocks her up and ruins her playing career....!
Racism....just proof that the human race has not really reached it's potential...
Sorry BEN HARRIS.. Racist had nothing to do with this one,,Look how the FREAK dresed ? Looks like a clown. BLK or white, id say the same thing. dress like a HUMAN. not like some as-s..
So he supports a womens sports team by degrading women with his lyrics?
Generally I stop looking at these comments due to the racist stuff on here but its good to see some people actually talking about it. I wish yahoo could have some sort of filter for this non sense.
lolz at the mad white folks.
The Internet: Where white people go vent their anger & rage toward a certain race but are too fearful to do it in real life.
2pac > Lil Wayne
Sklar Diggins is 1 of the hottest B-ball players in awhile. So we know where his head is at.
Can't blame him, get at that!
His music is literally terrible. I miss Biggy and when hip-hop was good. And nope its not jealousy, he can make a billion dollars for all I care. Its amazing what people will like these days.
Lil Wayne is so ugly you can't look directly at him without burning your retinas, much like a solar eclipse. Except that solar eclipses are awesome wonders of nature, and Lil' Wayne is just blight upon society.
Yup toooooo much racist people up in here. Get a life and stop being jealous of people who made $$$ and found their niche. It's all a show and he's making it.....find yours......don't hate and stay positive....do something with your life pepsssss.....
you go lil bro. way to give the women props. they deserve it whether you trying to holla or not. they play with more zeal and fundamentals. love their game. lil wayne is a big man. go get her.
Lil Wayne please move on to the hoodrats that chase after you...leave this lil girl alone so she can pursue her dreams...
On another side note...LOVE YOUR MUSIC MAN!!!
wasn't ths tatoo clown in jail !!! guess this jerk bought his way out !!! american are so pathetic that they gla,merize these ghetto clowns and the white pieces of garbage sleep with them like he's elvis presly !!! what has happened to stupid country !!! imoral and totally gone mad with all these gang banging sissy ghetto chumps making million acting like fools and millions of fools following them !!!
lil wayne, tell them that its your choice to choose what you wear, i guess you don't need anybody's approval or permission to tell what to do. bro you rock and hands up to everything you're doing because its your choice. everything about you rocks and guess what, you looked fabolouse with that jersey. don't mind anyone doing bad comments, they just want attention and they are loosers of course.
As much as I hate Lil Wayne, I hate all of you even more. So as much as I want to comment on this I'm going to use this time to say how glad I am that honkey pieces of s*** are being killed right now by a hurricane.
Black PIG
