In a spirited discussion on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God claims Kendrick Lamar would triumph over Lil Wayne in a rap battle.
- The collaboration between Kendrick and Wayne on “Mona Lisa” hasn’t masked the tension brewing between them.
- Charlamagne argues that Kendrick would lyrically dismantle Wayne’s life experiences “in a very therapeutic way.”
- Wayne’s social media post reflects his discontent with Kendrick’s recent Super Bowl controversy mentions.
- While tensions rise, Wayne recalls his own Super Bowl snub that left him “broken.”
Charlamagne Tha God sparked debate when he opined that if Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne were to face off in a rap battle, Kendrick would emerge victorious. In a discussion on The Breakfast Club, he shared that although Wayne is among the top five MCs, he wouldn’t want a fight with Kendrick right now.
Charlamagne elaborated on his point, suggesting that Kendrick would tackle Wayne’s life issues in a “therapeutic” manner. He even joked about Wayne having just three dreadlocks, saying Kendrick would put pressure on him in a way that’s “not even gonna be a diss; it’s gonna be out of love.”
The backdrop to this situation is their joint effort on “Mona Lisa” and the simmering discord as Kendrick steps onto Wayne’s turf, headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans. This move, combined with Kendrick’s GNX album references, has turned up the heat.
Kendrick took a subtle swing at Wayne in his track “wacced out murals,” reminiscing about how he once idolized Wayne and the irony of possibly letting him down. His lyrics also criticize outdated rap styles while asserting his fresh approach.
Wayne, feeling the heat, didn’t take long to express his feelings. On the platform X, Wayne vented by saying he feels targeted despite “just chillin’” and warned of his potential to “destroy if disturbed.”
Further tension stems from Wayne’s hurt at not being chosen to perform at the Super Bowl following Kendrick’s mention. This snub, as Wayne described it, left him “broken,” adding another layer to their current rivalry.
The clash between these two rap heavyweights seems far from over as lyrics fly and emotions run high.
