Earlier this week, Samsung debuted three ads featuring rapper Lil Wayne. The spots, which also feature Wesley Snipes, are only the second major advertising campaign that the entertainer has appeared in.

Samsung brought Lil Wayne to South by Southwest Interactive, where he performed Saturday night with Public Enemy and 2Chainz. After the show, Lil Wayne spoke with Adweek about his new ads and whether he'd like to be a pitchman for more brands.
