Lil Wayne has issued a warning to Kendrick Lamar, after he dropped a new album and in one of the tracks, referencing his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show gig … and how all his hard work “let Lil Wayne down.”
Lil Wayne not impressed with the latest name-dropping, took to his official social media handle to post this message advising Kendrick Lamar and the likes, that they should not take his kindness for weakness as he has been chilling minding his business, yet people want to call him out for no reason.
“Man wtf I do?! 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,” he said.
On Friday, Kendrick Lamar popped out of nowhere, raining on pre-announced albums from artists such as Ice Cube and Blxst … going lyrically crazy on the opening track “wacced out murals,” which many feel is the final nail in Drake’s coffin following the 2024 Rap Wars that apexed with “Not Like Us” earning tons of Grammy nominations.
Kendrick Lamar also addressed the Super Bowl controversy in his surprise 12-track album “GNX,” which has left hip-hop fans in a frenzy.
In the intro song “wacced out murals,” the Compton, California MC touched on Lil Wayne and the overall reaction to his announcement that he will headline the 2025 Apple Music halftime show in February.
The NFL’s decision sparked a heated debate online amongst fans and music pundits on whether he should have been chosen over the “A Milli” rapper, who was born and raised in New Orleans, where Super Bowl 59 is slated to take place.
“Used to bump ‘Tha Carter III,’ I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” Lamar rapped.
In another line, he didn’t hold anything back: “Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me/ All these (expletive) agitated/ I’m just glad it’s on their faces/ Quite frankly, plenty artist but they outdated/ Old (expletive) flows trying to convince me that you they favorite.”
Lil Wayne publicly expressed his disappointment over not being selected for the Super Bowl in an Instagram Live video following the announcement in September.
“I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for just automatically mentally putting myself in that position,” the legendary rapper stated. “I thought there was nothing better than that spot, that stage, that platform, in my city. So it hurt, it hurt a whole lot.”
“It broke me,” he said, adding, “But my God, have you all helped me?”
Wayne echoed his feelings at his jam-packed 2024 Lil Weezyana Fest at the Smoothie King Center in his hometown earlier this month, saying that he always wanted to perform at the Super Bowl in front of his mother.
“I worked my (expletive) off to get that (expletive) position. It was ripped away from me. But this… moment right here, they can’t take that,” he said in front of a cheering crowd.
