Maybach Music Group rapper Wale has long admitted that he’s a fan of comedian/actor Jerry Seinfeld. The hip-hop star released his “Mixtape About Nothing” in 2008, which was named in homage to “Seinfeld”–the “show about nothing.” Wale tapped the famous star to appear at the end of his newly-released album, The Gifted, and in an interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, he admitted that he was intimidated by Seinfeld at first.
“I was nervous as s–t when I first met him,” said Wale. “I was real nervous. Cause that was just like–he’s white and he’s rich. He’s just from another whole world and I just kinda felt inferior a little bit. In retrospect, at that point I didn’t know why I was feeling that way.”
Wale added that he was expecting Seinfeld to be arrogant and standoffish. Much to his surprise, the seemingly unlikely collaborators managed to have a good rapport in the studio.
“You used to n—as that’s that poppin’ to kind of have an arrogance about them, so I was expecting it and it wasn’t there. Initially, I did feel kind of feel inferior to him,”
“But now, it’s like super chill,” Wale explained. ” We talk, we banter, we joke around, and all that other stuff.”
