Kendrick Lamar might have woken up the beast with the name drops on his surprise album GNX. Lil Wayne responded to the bars sent his way and seemingly threatened the 37-year-old rapper.
“Man wtf I do?!” Weezy asked. “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 “wacced out murals,” K. Dot rapped about the reactions to his upcoming performance at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, how Nas was the only person to congratulate him, and how everyone was “agitated.” A few bars before that, he specifically mentioned Weezy F. Baby: “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down/ Whatever though, call me crazy, everybody questionable / Turn me to an esk***, I drew the line and decimals,” he rapped.
Wayne has publicly expressed his disappointment in not being picked numerous times to perform at the Super Bowl, which will occur in his hometown of New Orleans. However, he never directed any of his feelings toward the Compton rapper nor claimed that he did not deserve it. Still, these Lamar bars triggered something in him because he responded via X in the wee hours of the night.
Ever since Kendrick Lamar was announced for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show back in September, fans have speculated whether he would bring Weezy out since he has been known to idolize him and they collaborated on records like “Mona Lisa” and “Buy The World.” However, with his beef with Wayne’s protege Drake and all of the drama, it seems increasingly unlikely over time.
The “A Milli” rapper shared his disappointment in an emotional video the same week Lamar was announced. “I had to get strength enough to do this without breaking,” he said. “I’mma say thank you to every voice, every opinion, all the care, all the love and the support out there. Your words turned into arms and held me up when I tried to fall back.”
“It hurt a whole lot,” Lil Wayne continued. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. But I thought there was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt.”
