Lil Wayne finds himself at the center of controversy after praising Bill Belichick’s new role at UNC while fans accuse him of hypocrisy.
Lil Wayne, a well-known sports enthusiast, recently found himself under fire from Kendrick Lamar’s fans. It all started when Lil Wayne, also known as Weezy, applauded NFL legend Bill Belichick for his latest coaching role at the University of North Carolina.
On social media, Lil Wayne expressed admiration for Belichick’s career move, condemning the critics who, according to him, should simply offer congratulations. Weezy tweeted, ‘Man much respect 2da GOAT coach Bill Belichick! Not sure why they’re all hatin but I believe it to be envy.’
This sparked a reaction among Kendrick Lamar’s fanbase, who didn’t waste time pointing out what they saw as hypocrisy. Many remembered Wayne’s less-than-enthusiastic reaction to Kendrick being chosen to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show the following year when the event would be in Wayne’s hometown.
Comments flew in quick succession on social media. One user mockingly recalled Wayne’s earlier comments: ‘the irony in this tweet LMFAOOO’ while another reminded him about not congratulating Kendrick.
In September, Wayne himself had shared his disappointment on Instagram when he wasn’t invited to perform at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. He admitted feeling ‘hurt’ and ‘broken,’ acknowledging he had mentally prepared for the gig without being officially invited.
Amid the social media uproar, Kendrick responded on his album GNX by addressing the situation indirectly, rapping about his journey and success with a hint about Wayne’s response.
Wayne, not one to stay silent, aired his grievances on X, asking why he was targeted despite his generally laid-back demeanor and warning against mistaking his “kindness for weakness.” He eventually reached out to Kendrick, but the conversation didn’t happen, leading to speculation regarding their unresolved issues.
Joe Budden later hinted that Wayne might be readying a musical response to address the tensions. Meanwhile, fans remain glued to their screens, watching how this unfolding saga between two rap giants might play out.
In the world of hip-hop, where words carry immense power, Lil Wayne’s comments have ignited a conversation. As fans and artists exchange critiques and expressions of admiration, the dynamic between legends like Wayne and Lamar continues to intrigue.
