Oklahoma City Thunder say Lil Wayne welcome, with a ticket - USA TODAY

OKLAHOMA CITY â€" The Oklahoma City Thunder say Lil Wayne is welcome to attend a playoff game at Chesapeake Energy Arena, but the rapper needs to buy a ticket like everyone else.

The rapper created a stir Thursday night on Twitter. "Was going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow. Smh. Go Spurs!" he tweeted.

Thunder spokesman Dan Mahoney says Lil Wayne's representatives did contact the team requesting tickets but insisted that he sit on the front row, and those seats were unavailable. Oklahoma City has sold out every home game during the regular season and playoffs this season.

"We'd love to have him at a game, but like anyone else, he needs a ticket," Mahoney says.

We'll have to see how that "Go Spurs!" line plays out.
