The rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has stirred curiosity about where other artists stand. Despite Kendrick’s aggressive diss tracks like “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us,” Lil Wayne recently shared his top five rappers in an interview, which notably excluded Kendrick but included Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., and Drake.
Lil Wayne’s decision not to include Kendrick in his top five rappers list isn’t entirely unexpected, given his longstanding friendship with Drake. This choice carries weight, especially amidst their ongoing feud. Fans have been particularly interested in Lil Wayne’s stance after Kendrick mentioned him in “Not Like Us,” referencing allegations about Drake and Lil Wayne’s girlfriend during Lil Wayne’s time behind bars, along with his tattoo tribute to Weezy. Lil Wayne indirectly confirmed the incident in a surfaced interview but appeared unperturbed by the controversy.
Speculation arose when a clip from a Lil Wayne concert showed Kendrick’s track playing, leading some to speculate on Lil Wayne’s stance. However, it was clarified that this was merely a DJ’s introduction and not Lil Wayne’s endorsement. This incident underscores the intrigue surrounding Lil Wayne’s position regarding the Drake-Kendrick feud and his allegiance to Drake.
