Lil Wayne is enjoying his acceptance in the skateboarding community. His new hobby has given him a new “attitude and alliances.” “I’ve become friends with the most funnest and coolest people,” the Young Money boss tells “MTV’s Hip Hop POV” for an episode that airs Wednesday at midnight.

But he still has love for his “rap friends.” “I would pop a bottle with you guys any day,” says Weezy. “I would make it rain with you any day, brother.”

He adds, “But these kids that come from the skate world, it is so different and so awesome. I can just let it all be. I don’t even wear jewelry no more.”
