Following a horrific incident at the airport, Lil Wayne dreamed of something nice.
The rapper had trouble getting through customs because of his incredibly pricey jewellery collection.
Just as he was about to give up, a prince came to his rescue.
He went above and beyond simply waiving him through the airport gates.
Flying private has many benefits, but evading customs isn’t one of them.
A few years back, Lil Wayne’s private plane trip to Saudi Arabia was marred by a few issues.
He disembarked and immediately went through the x-ray machine with his luggage.
The only problem was that, since they contained jewels worth more than $25,000, they ought to have been declared sooner.
So Lil Wayne went back to his own plane, which was the right thing to do for a celebrity in his position.
“I am not coming back; I do not have to be here,” he told the airport staff.

While cooling his jets, Mohamed Bin Salman received a message delivered on his behalf.
It is likely that the Crown Prince is a Wayniac based on his profound dismay upon hearing about what happened at the airport.
He apologised profusely and made sure the rapper could clear customs without any more issues.
When he arrived, the Crown Prince was waiting for him in his hotel room with a gift.
He’d given him a watch that was worth every bit as much as the stones that had caused all the fuss.
The watch was a Franck Muller, and Lil Wayne claimed it was worth much more than $25,000.
These watches can cost up to $500,000 or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you might find them in the collections of famous people like Ronaldo.
Moreover, it is unlikely that the Crown Prince would have selected the least desirable option.

The exchange of gifts did not end there.
The rapper asked the prince which premium car brand he preferred, Lamborghini or Ferrari, as he was ready to leave the hotel room.
A few weeks later, a black Lamborghini Urus pulled up outside his house.
Lil Wayne said, “I didn’t realise it was a specific question.”
It was as though he was asking, “Which one is better?”
