The rapper, 36, has never met a pair of fuzzy footwear he didn’t like, which is why his role as the face of the brand’s new collaboration with BAPE feels perfectly fitting.

In the images shot in Miami, the five-time Grammy winner pairs his ripped black jeans, backwards leather baseball cap and neck full of diamond chains with the new $350 UGG x BAPE “Neumel” shearling-lined lace-ups and the collection’s $3,500 mouton coat, which is covered in the streetwear brand’s signature camo print.

“Been rocking UGG and BAPE since the beginning. This collab is next level,” the “A Milli” musician said in a press release.

The collection will officially launch in April 2019, and will be available for purchase while supplies last at select BAPE and UGG retailers worldwide.

Take a look back at Lil Wayne’s longtime love of UGGs below:
