Lil Wayne recently offered his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and a line directed at him on the project. On Saturday (Nov.23), Wayne jumped on X to react to Lamar mentioning him on a track called, “Wacced Out Murals.” The name drop seemingly lit a fire under Wayne: “Man wtf I do?!” Lil Wayne wrote. “I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”
On Friday (Nov.22), Kendrick Lamar dropped off his surprise project, GNX. Spanning only 11 tracks, GNX offers a reintroduction to Lamar’s eloquent wordplay. Jack Antoff, Taylor Swift’s number two, and avid collaborator, was part of the project’s production. On the track, “Wacced Out Murals,” Kendrick addressed Lil Wayne’s earlier comments. “I used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hardworking let Lil Wayne down,” he raps. Lamar continues, “Got the Super Bowl, and Nas the only one to congratulate me, all these n*ggas agitated; I’m just glad it’s on their faces.
Lil Wayne reveals disappointment about Super Bowl halftime show
“It was ripped away from me,” Lil Wayne tells a crowd of his fellow New Orleanians during his annual Weezyana Fest. In September, Kendrick Lamar was chosen to headline the Super Bowl Halftime performance. The decision was met with an onslaught of criticism especially from Lil Wayne’s Young Money/Cash Money family members Nicki Minaj and Birdman. Wayne did admit to feeling “hurt” by the decision, but his latest comments indicate that this hurt runs deep.
That said, witnessing the festival’s turnout gave him something that the Super Bowl cannot. “I worked my a** off to get in that position…” Lil Wayne tells the crowd. “But this motherf*king moment right here? They can’t take that.” While many people like Nicki Minaj and Birdman, spoke out about the decision to select Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl Halftime performer; many came to his aid, like Rihanna. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the singer says she believes Kendrick Lamar’s selection was fate, almost “meant to be.” She added, “It’s Kendrick Lamar! Kendrick Lamar is the one to do it right now. He’s gonna crush it.”
