Adam22 Questions Lil Wayne’s Loyalty To Drake After Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Controversy

December 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar announced that he’ll be headlining the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans in February. This news prompted mixed reactions from social media users, however, as many felt like Lil Wayne was snubbed. Lil Wayne later took to Instagram to speak on the situation, revealing that he was hurt by it too. “That hurt, it hurt a lot,” he admitted. Kendrick went on to reference the debacle on his album GNX and appeared to acknowledge the lack of support he received from Lil Wayne.

During a recent appearance on The Skip Bayless Show, Lil Wayne discussed the situation, claiming that he and Kendrick were able to talk things out. “I’ve spoken to him, and I wished him all the best,” he said. “[I] told him he better kill it.” He added that he didn’t find Kendrick’s “wacced out murals” reference to be disrespectful. “He’s a fan like I’m a fan,” he explained. “He saw like everybody else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that’s all he mean.”

Most are relieved to hear that Lil Wayne and Kendrick are on good terms. Others made some interesting observations about his latest remarks. During a recent podcast with Wack 100, for example, Adam22 shared his take on the situation and revealed why he thinks this is a bad look for Lil Wayne’s relationship with Drake.

“It would appear that Wayne’s loyalty towards Drake, we don’t know exactly where it stands,” he explained. “If Wayne was really riding with Drake, he’s not hopping on the phone and having a cool conversation where he tells Kendrick to go and kill it. What does that mean? What does ‘go kill it at the Super Bowl’ mean? It means go tell the whole world that Drake is a pedophile, that’s what that means.”Wack disagreed with Adam’s take, arguing that Lil Wayne did the right thing by making amends with Kendrick, and what any “respectable” artist would have done.

Wack 100 Theorizes Kendrick Lamar Was Genuinely Hurt By Lil Wayne Drama

December 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100 has weighed in on Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne’s relationship after the release of the GNX track, “wacced out murals.” On the song, Lamar raps about Wayne not celebrating the NFL selecting him to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Speaking about the drama with VladTV, Wack theorized that Lamar was genuinely hurt that Wayne didn’t congratulate him on landing the gig.

“He’s pretty much saying like, ‘Damn bro, why you couldn’t congratulate me?’ You can speak on how you were let down because you were looking to do the– I wouldn’t doubt if Wayne doing a Super Bowl next year… But alright, you let down. It would’ve been a good look for you in New Orleans or whatever, but I think it could’ve been followed by, ‘You know Kendrick’s my guy. He’s been putting in a lot of work. I’m looking forward to seeing his performance.’ … Kendrick feels like he’s got a relationship with Wayne. He’s been in the lab with Wayne. He spoke about being motivated by Wayne’s work ethic.”

December 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam Newton says he wants to see Lil Wayne take on Kendrick Lamar after feeling that Drake failed to match up with the “Not Like Us” rapper. Discussing the feud on the 4th & 1 Podcast, the former NFL star argued that Wayne would have a better chance against Lamar and wants to see that battle for the “appreciation of the art.”

“I’m a fan of Drake,” he said. “But after Kendrick and this beef… I look at Drake differently. I don’t think Drake has it in him to go to the places that he needs to go to attack Kendrick properly.” From there, he theorized that Wayne would have a better chance against Lamar. “He won’t be able to do that with Dwayne Carter,” he added. “I wanna see Lil’ Wayne… just for the appreciation of the art… because Drake ain’t capable.”

Snoop Dogg Defends JAY-Z For Picking Kendrick Lamar As The Super Bowl Headliner

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg has come to the defense of JAY-Z and his selection of Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Discussing the upcoming event during a live episode of Drink Champs at ComplexCon 2024, Snoop explained that JAY is giving a platform to hip-hop artists that they never had access to before.

“What we need to think about is that before JAY-Z got control of the Super Bowl wasn’t no n**gas performing. So let’s go back to the essence of the beginning of bridge,” Snoop said. “He’s creating a wave of artists to have an opportunity to perform. If you are a good artist and you are a great artist, your time will come. I was never crying about it or mad about it when Dr. Dre called me and asked me to get his back. I was there for him, but I didn’t feel like I was supposed to be there, I was in demand to be there. This is a big event. People looking at everything when they picked the person to perform, you should just be honored that hip-hop is being able to be seen on that platform for all of us and not hate on the next.”

Snoop’s defense of JAY-Z comes after Lil Wayne and many of his supporters voiced their disappointment that he wasn’t given the opportunity. Wayne has complained about the NFL’s selection of Kendrick Lamar on several occasions in recent months. Performing at his Lil Weezyana Fest, earlier this month, Wayne described headling the event as something that was “ripped away” from him.

Joe Budden’s Co-Host Goes After Lil Wayne For Acting “Entitled” About The Super Bowl Halftime Show

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Joe Budden and his podcast co-hosts discussed the legitimacy of Lil Wayne’s grievances with the NFL after the rapper claimed to have the headlining spot at the Super Bowl Halftime Show “ripped” from him during his appearance at Lil WeezyAna Fest 2024. Despite the next Super Bowl taking place in Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans, Kendrick Lamar will be performing at the event.

“I don’t like when he says this was snatched from me. I don’t like that… We never saw anything where they said you had the Super Bowl. So, what is snatched from you? It was assumed by you and a lot of your fans and a lot of the public,” Ice said on the show. “… That’s not snatched away. That’s entitlement.”

From there, Budden countered that he believes Wayne’s assumption must be based on something behind the scenes. “I think he definitely spoke to Hov or somebody on that board that’s in charge of that, I think they may have told him– laid out a guideline of things that the person they pick has to accomplish and do. I think he might’ve went about trying to check some of the things off that list and maybe he didn’t like how he found out the news that Kendrick was performing.”

Check out The Joe Budden Podcast’s full discussion about Lil Wayne and the Super Bowl Halftime Show below.
