Lil Wayne Used to Bet $10,000 On ‘Madden’ Matches, Fo Shizzle

  It’s a universal truth: the more cashtacular you have, the more dumbass uses you can find for it. As the gold bars, jewels and sold-gold hos start to pile up and pile up in your cavernous mansion in Dubai, there’s a real risk of it suffocating and/or crushing you. Who the hell wants that? Nobody, that’s who.  

Remember that scene in The Simpsons, where Mr. Burns claims he's strapped for cash before the ceiling caves in and loot rains down on him? The poor rich bastard could have been killed if that landed on his head.

Money is the root of all evil, they say. You’ve got to get rid of it however you can. So be like Lil Wayne, gents, and bet $10,000 on an AI-vs-AI match in Madden.

Yes indeed. This sorry story comes from T-Pain, during a Twitch stream. According to him, his fellow raptastic would make huge wagers with Birdman while in the studio.

‘They would bet $10,000 a game on Madden, and they would just let the computer play,’ he said. ‘They would bet that a team they picked would beat the team that the other guy picked. They didn't play the game. They just let the computer play both teams. And they would just bet $10,000 on that game. And I thought that was the most ballin' shit I had ever seen in my life.’

Totally balling. If you’ve got enough Cash Money cash money for that sort of wankery, then good for you. T-Pain himself didn’t get in on the action, in case you were wondering, because he’s ‘not an idiot.’
