Lil Wayne looks like he may have been making plans to meet up with former "Teen Mom: Young + Pregnant" star Rachel Beaver ... at least according to a series of messages and text conversations we're told he exchanged with her.
In the alleged texts, obtained by TMZ, it appears things started with Rachel -- who is currently 23 -- sliding into Wayne's DMs on November 13 ... writing, "Fly me out I won't say anything like the last one."
It looks like Wayne then asked for her phone number before the conversation moved to text.
The alleged texts show Rachel suggesting they wait to meet up until after Christmas because she'd need time to line up a babysitter for her children. Then, on January 3 around 5 AM, it appears Wayne reignited the conversation with a simple message -- "want u."
