Lil Wayne speaks out

One person who isn’t thrilled with Lamar’s halftime show selection is Louisiana’s own rap legend, Lil Wayne. Many fans had expected him to headline the show, especially since it’s taking place in his home state. Apparently, Wayne himself had similar hopes.

In a heartfelt Instagram video, the rapper opened up about his disappointment.

“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,” he said.

Looking back on how big the moment was, Wayne admitted, “But I thought there was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt.”

Kendrick’s response

Kendrick Lamar, known for keeping a low profile, didn’t directly respond to Lil Wayne’s comments. However, his latest album release may have conveyed his feelings for him.

On November 22, Lamar surprised fans by dropping his sixth studio album, GNX, featuring the opening track “Wacced Out Murals.” In the song, he appears to address Wayne’s disappointment:
“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.”

Will Kendrick Lamar Diss Drake During the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

The ongoing tension between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has reached new heights, with reports suggesting that Lamar might perform his controversial track Not Like Us during the Super Bowl halftime show. According to The U.S. Sun, the song contains lyrics that seem to take direct jabs at Drake, even hinting at inappropriate behavior.

Legally, there’s nothing Drake can do to stop Kendrick from performing it.

Their rivalry stretches back years, fueled by subliminal disses and competitive barbs. It all started with Lamar’s explosive verse on Big Sean’s Control in 2013, where he called out several rappers, including Drake, challenging them to elevate their craft. While many saw it as friendly competition, Drake later hinted in interviews that he took offense.
