“Tattoos on My Face, You Could Call Me Dennis Rodman!”: 5x NBA Champ Uploads Lil Wayne’s ESPYS Shoutout Days After Going Against Girlfriend Yella Yella’s Wishes

Over the years, Dennis Rodman has come to be known for the offbeat things he does on the daily. Back during his playing days, Rodman would shock the world with his weird and wild antics off the court. And while he has since then toned it down a notch, the NBA community was recently treated to yet another example of his past self on his YouTube channel. Subsequently, the Chicago Bulls legend received a grand shout-out from rapper Lil Warne, something he reposted on his Instagram, days after going against his girlfriend’s wishes.

Rodman is in a loving relationship with his girlfriend, Yella Yella. However, when he told her that he wanted to get a tattoo on his face, Dennis the Menace was in no mood to heed her opinion. And so, despite all her requests asking him not to do it, Rodman recently got his girlfriend’s face inked on his cheek.

Rodman shared Wayne’s clip on Instagram. Take a look at it in this tweet by @NBACelebsUpdate.

Lil Wayne has always been in touch with everything happening in the NBA. So, it was no surprise that he had full knowledge of Rodman’s recent action too. Meanwhile, the popular rapper is also one of the prime candidates to be Skip Bayless’ debate partner on ‘Undisputed’.

Until a short while ago, Shannon Sharpe was Skip Bayless’ partner on the sports debate show, ‘Undisputed’. However, Sharpe recently reached an agreement with the show to have his contract bought out. And since then, Bayless has been on the lookout for someone to replace Sharpe.

Many names have been thrown into the mix, including that of Charles Barkley. However, Skip may have chosen his new partner already. Take a look at his tweet below.

The 71-year-old analyst can often take a toll on his partners. So, it’ll be interesting to see how he deals with Lil Wayne, who’s one of his best mates.
