BATISTE GETS THE LIL WAYNE BUMP

Lil Wayne made a surprise appearance during Jon Batiste's show at The Fonda Theatre in L.A. Wednesday night (8/23). Batiste was celebrating the release of his latest album, World Music Radio (Verve), which arrived 8/18. The Cash Money rapper stepped onstage rocking his signature blonde dreadlocks and a backwards baseball cap to perform their collaborative single, "Uneasy," one of 21 tracks on Batiste's new record.

The two shared a hug, a moment captured on video. Batiste posted the clip to his Instagram account on Thursday (8/24) with the caption: "Last night was a gift. Only 5 days after the new album release and it's already been such an epic journey. Thx @liltunechi for surprising the crowd. Sharing the stage with all my friends is the greatest. Love to all the people out there spreading the word."
