NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- It wasn't hick-hop but real hip-hop at the CMA Awards in Nashville as Lil Wayne joined Kid Rock onstage during country music's biggest night.
Kid Rock brought the prolific and best-selling rapper on stage Wednesday as he performed his hit "All Summer Long." But Lil Wayne didn't rap: In fact, he didn't say a word. Instead Lil Wayne, wearing a Tennessee Titans jersey that matched Kid Rock's, simply remained in the background, strumming on a guitar as he mimicked playing the instrument alongside the musician's real guitarist.
It may have been the first time a true rapper appeared at the CMAs: While Cowboy Troy performed during the CMAs in 2004, the self-proclaimed "hick-hop" artist was a country act, not a rap one.
Lil Wayne is known for hits like "Lollipop" and "A Milli." His album "Tha Carter III" is the year's best-selling disc so far with 2.6 million copies sold.
