Lil Wayne stirs the pot in ongoing fan debates during his recent performance in Las Vegas.
- While performing, he holds up his OVO owl pendant, making fans question his allegiance.
- He raps Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics from ‘Not Like Us,’ setting the internet aflame.
- Fans are split on whether this was a diss at Kendrick or just a shoutout to Drake.
- Lil Wayne’s top five rappers list from an interview shows love for Drake, not Kendrick.
Lil Wayne and Drake have been close for years, and fans have eagerly awaited his take on the much-talked-about feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. However, Wayne has stayed mum—until now. During a recent performance in Las Vegas, he sent ripples through the hip-hop community by rapping lines from Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us,’ all while proudly holding up his OVO owl pendant.
The viral clip has left fans buzzing. DJ Akademiks’ comment section has exploded with debates about whether Wayne was throwing shade at Kendrick. Some fans believe it was a direct diss, while others think it’s a big stretch. Adding fuel to the fire, Wayne incorporated Kendrick’s lyrics into ‘The Motto,’ his hugely popular collaboration with Drake.
Speculation doesn’t stop there. Some listeners believe Lil Wayne was actually saying, ‘They don’t like us,’ rather than, ‘They not like us,’ making it even harder to definitively say whether it was aimed at Kendrick. Regardless, fans are split on what this means for the existing tensions in hip-hop.
This isn’t the first time Wayne has shown his support for Drake over Kendrick. Just last month, he named his top five rappers during an interview, listing Drake, Jay-Z, Eminem, Missy Elliott, and The Notorious B.I.G. Notably missing from the list? Kendrick Lamar.
The big question remains: Was Lil Wayne dissing Kendrick Lamar or merely giving a nod to his long-time collaborator, Drake? The performance has spurred passionate discussions among fans, keeping the debate alive.
Only time will tell if Lil Wayne’s performance was a playful nod or a pointed jab, but one thing’s for sure: the hip-hop world is buzzing.
