Lil Wayne performed at the NBA 2K23 launch party last year. He sang a few of his hits such as "A Milli," "Blunt Blowin," "Mrs. Officer" and "Wasted." Some of his songs used in the game include "We Takin' Over" in NBA 2K16, "Goat Talk" in NBA 2K20, "I Do It" in NBA 2K21 and "You" in NBA 2K23.

2K Sports' Digital Marketing Director Ronnie Singh, more famously known as Ronnie 2K, discussed his relationship in an interview with Sports Illustrated. Ronnie 2K even called Tunechi the greatest rapper of all time.

"The Wayne thing, he's the best rapper of all-time, probably," Ronnie 2K said. "I had been working on that for a while. When he shouted me out in the middle, I was like, 'What the hell is happening?' I think we've earned our position there, and it's taken years and years of shifting the game, the tremendous amount of work our studio does to be relevant."
