Skip Bayless, the host of Undisputed, has exciting news for fans of the sports debate show. He officially announced that rapper Lil Wayne will be joining the show as a regular contributor, adding a fresh perspective to the discussions. Wayne’s involvement will begin with a weekly segment every Friday, and if time permits and the discussions flow, he might extend his presence to multiple segments.
The announcement comes after Skip Bayless and Lil Wayne developed a strong friendship over the years, bonding over their shared passion for sports. Bayless praised Wayne’s profound knowledge of sports and how he brings a unique, calm, and thoughtful demeanor to the debates. He emphasized that Wayne doesn’t need to raise his voice to make an impact; his words carry weight and captivate the audience.
Lil Wayne’s addition is one of many changes expected in the revamped Undisputed after Shannon Sharpe’s departure. The show is set to return on August 28 without Sharpe, who left after nearly eight years as Bayless’s debate partner. While Lil Wayne fills one of the weekly segments, there are still many questions about how FS1 plans to replace Sharpe and reshape the show.
Among the potential candidates to fill the void left by Sharpe, former NFL Pro Bowler Richard Sherman is a prominent name. Having previously worked as an analyst for Amazon’s Thursday Night Football, Sherman has a history with Bayless, making him a strong contender for a significant role in the new Undisputed.
As Lil Wayne takes on his role as a regular contributor, sports fans eagerly anticipate the fresh dynamic he will bring to the show’s spirited debates. The combination of Bayless and Wayne’s camaraderie and sports knowledge is expected to make for engaging and thought-provoking discussions on Undisputed.
