Lil Wayne has social media in a frenzy as fans speculate if he rapped his own version of Kendrick Lamar’s “They Not Like Us” during a recent performance.
While performing in Las Vegas- Wayne held up a OVO pendant and seemingly rapped the words “they don’t like us” instead of “they not like us” before he got into his collab with Drake, The Motto.
Fans debate online if Weezy was siding with Drake or Kendrick Lamar as it’s hard to tell which lyrics he was actually rapping. “He showing love to both sides he ain’t In that..” reacts one fan. “He is mocking the song!
You don’t see that Owl chain? You don’t hear him rapping to Drake song?” reacts another.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” takes another W as he’s receiving a mural in Compton. ABC7 spoke with the muralist, Mike Norice about the project.
“I painted it Monday and the process is very fast. I was here about 6 a.m. every morning from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,” Norice told the outlet.
”So, I want to show the people in the Watts-Compton community and this area that you can do anything,” Norice said. The artist noted that the mural has become a landmark for Compton’s celebration. “A lot of people were coming because the video is so popular, but they didn’t necessarily have a picture reference to the video. And now this gives that picture reference of, This is where I’m coming from and now, I’m here.”
The hit single may also be eligible for a Grammy nomination. During a recent interview with TMZ, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. discussed the record’s potential for a Grammy.
“Obviously, it’s a hot record, it’s amazing artistry,” Mason Jr. expressed. “Great writing… Incredible.” He goes on to mention Lamar’s previous Grammy’s success. “You got an artist that’s been nominated before,” Mason Jr. noted. “He’s been successful with the organization… I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be.”
