Donald Trump is at the center of Lil Wayne and Jalen Hurts’ breakup.

According to Skip Bayless, Hurts and his agent Nicole Lynn left Lil Wayne’s Young Money APAA Sports Agency over a photo Wayne took with Trump.

Specifically, Wayne met with Trump in 2020 to discuss a $500 billion package to “uplift black communities.” The initiative is known as the “Platinum Plan.”

After the meeting, Wayne posted a photo on social media standing next to Trump in the latter’s signature thumbs-up position:

Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus in addition to what he has done so far on criminal reform, the platinum plan will give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and he made sure to do it and he could do it. pic.twitter.com/Q9c5k1yMWf

Bayless says that image has “something” — big or small — about why Hurts and Lynn left Young Money:

What’s more, Wayne endorsed Trump for president in November. Trump then pardoned Wayne on a federal weapons charge in January 2021.

While not a reporter, Bayless was a personal friend of Wayne’s. Skip saying that Lil Wayne is one of his dearest friends.

The two often get together in Los Angeles, according to Bayless’ Instagram.

So, Bayless didn’t speculate. His information came from Wayne, or someone close to him.

It’s also not hard to imagine a simple photo with Trump causing Hurts and Lynn to leave Young Money.

Lynn’s entire reputation is attached to identity.

He is a media darling. The likes of ESPN didn’t praise him for brokering Hurts’ new $255,000 contract because it set an NFL record. Instead, they praised her for doing so as a “black woman.”

Lynn’s self-written online profile specifies her gender in the intro.

He couldn’t risk working for an agency run by Lil Wayne, a black Trump supporter. So he left for Klutch Sports Group in 2021.

At Klutch, Lynn works for LeBron James’ team. There is no status risk there.

Bowing to China is less harmful than supporting Trump – even though Trump has worked to spend half a trillion dollars on the black community.

Jalen Hurts would have to agree. He also ditched Lil Wayne shortly after taking a photo with Donald Trump.
