AceShowbiz - Lil Wayne sparks rumors that he's secretly signing to Roc Nation. The "Sucker for Pain" hitmaker gave a shout out to Jay-Z's entertainment company, previously named Roc-A-Fella, during his set at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw concert over the weekend.
While performing "Cash Money Millionaires", Weezy changed up the lyrics, rapping, "I'm a motherf***ing Roc-A-Fella millionaire." The original lyrics were, "I'm a motherf****ing Cash Money millionaire." He also threw the infamous Roc-A-Fella triangle.
Producer Infamous, who has a history with Weezy, said the altered lyric was "not that random."

2 Chainz, who also works closely with Weezy, later fueled the speculations with a photo of the "Mirror" rapper with the Roc-A-Fella triangle.
This is not the first time Weezy has hinted that he's signing to Roc Nation. While performing at Oakland's Summer Jam back in 2015, he declared, "I just signed a deal with my motherfucking idol Jay-Z!" However, it turned out he was referring to his contract with TIDAL.
Back in 2004, Jay-Z tried to sign Weezy to Roc-A-Fella Records. At the time, the "Lollipop" rapper declined the offer, which was only for $175,000, and re-signed with Birdman's Cash Money and got his own label, Young Money, out of the deal.
