Earlier this morning rumors spread on the interwebs that Houston rapper Paul Wall had signed a record deal with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Records. A rep for the label contacted XXL and shot down the gossip as false.

Although the news is untrue, it reached enough people online that Paul Wall became a trending topic on Twitter.

Wall and Wayne appeared on the DJ Khaled’s 2006 hit, "Holla At Me Baby," with Fat Joe, Rick Ross amd Pitbull, as well as 2005’s “March N Step” off of Wall’s debut, The People’s Champ and the Young Life Song, “I’ma Boss.” —Elan Mancini
