Kyle Larson “Hates” Lil Wayne? Shocking Truth Revealed!

Beyond his passion for speed and racing, Kyle Larson, the Hendrick Motorsports driver and one of NASCAR’s top stars in recent years, has a particular affinity for rap music. However, Larson isn’t easy to please when it comes to picking his favorite artists. He has openly shared his admiration for Drake, while also admitting that he absolutely cannot stand Lil Wayne.

Why Kyle Larson “Loves Drake but Hates Lil Wayne”

In a 2018 interview with Jeff Gluck, Larson was asked who he thought was the greatest rapper alive. He responded:

“I enjoy all kinds of music. I like rap. I don’t have a favorite artist in any genre, but I would say I enjoy listening to Drake.”

Larson acknowledged that he wasn’t sure if Drake was the best rapper alive, but at the time, he found Drake’s music particularly enjoyable. He even revealed that he could rap every word of “Crazy Rap” by Afroman, but still picked Drake as his top choice.

When Gluck suggested Lil Wayne as an option, Larson reacted strongly: “I hate Lil Wayne. His voice is so annoying.” He added that if a Lil Wayne track started playing, he would immediately turn it off: “I just don’t like him at all.”

Despite his dislike for Lil Wayne, Larson admitted that his musical tastes could change over time. He mentioned that he used to enjoy Taylor Swift’s music but gradually drifted away from it. However, Larson did attend one of Swift’s concerts last year because his daughter is a huge fan, showing his openness to exploring different genres beyond rap.

Other NASCAR Drivers’ Rap Preferences

Kyle Larson isn’t the only NASCAR driver who enjoys rap music.

• Kyle Busch, when asked the same question about the greatest rapper alive, compared it to being asked who the greatest U.S. President was. He explained that fans’ opinions would vary widely but eventually revealed his personal favorite: “My all-time favorite artist, the one I always listen to, is Eminem. I love listening to Eminem and the way he performs, even though he can be a bit vulgar at times. I also know a bit about Tupac. He was really, really good.”

• Meanwhile, Mark Martin, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, openly expressed his admiration for Gucci Mane. This even led to a unique collaboration, as Martin was featured in one of Gucci Mane’s songs last year.

Conclusion

While Kyle Larson’s musical preferences may seem “picky,” they highlight his unique personality off the racetrack. NASCAR drivers’ diverse tastes in music not only reflect their individual identities but also add a fun and relatable dimension to their lives beyond racing.
