According to Lil’ Wayne, during an interview with Drink Champs podcast, he was prohibited from entering Saudi Arabia because he had too much jewelry which he needed to declare with customs.
This angered Lil’ Wayne
“I told myself f**k that s**t I’m going back to my plane, I ain’t coming back, I’m not going anywhere, I don’t need to be here (sic),” recalled the rapper.
He went on to add that while he was sitting on his plane, he got notified that “his excellency” wasn’t very pleased with what transpired and after making sure the rapper made it through security without any problems, went on to visit his hotel room with a very generous gift as a peace offering. It was a Franck Muller watch. But, it didn’t stop there, according to the rapper.
“After he was leaving the room, he said ‘oh I forgot, Lamborghini or Ferrari?’ I thought it was a general question. I said ‘Lamborghini’— I thought he was asking me which one is better. Then he asked ‘what color?’ I said ‘black.’ He said ‘In front of your house in three weeks. I’m very sorry for this.’”
The rapper got the Lamborghini a few weeks later as promised.
