Lil Wayne “Wants to Destroy” Kendrick Lamar?

Lil Wayne seems to have responded to Kendrick Lamar referencing him in his latest album GNX, sparking a potential new rivalry in the rap scene.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Announcement and Wayne’s Disappointment

Previously, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show 2025, a major event that will be held in New Orleans, the hometown of Lil Wayne. This announcement raised expectations for many fans, but Wayne expressed his disappointment at not being selected to perform at this highly anticipated event.

Kendrick Lamar’s Lyrics in “Wacced Out Murals” Cause a Stir

However, the conversation between the two rappers did not end there. Kendrick Lamar, in his latest album, mentioned Wayne in the track “wacced out murals.” This lyric caught a lot of attention when he referred to his famous colleague with the lines:
“I once bumped Tha Carter III, I raised my Rollie chain high / Ironically, I thought my efforts made Lil Wayne disappointed / Either way, call me crazy, everyone’s suspicious / Make me an esk —, I outlined boundaries and decimals.”

This verse not only showcased Kendrick’s remarkable talent but also seemed to carry a subtle challenge directed at Lil Wayne. The next lyric raised the tension further when Lamar mentioned his Super Bowl victory and stated that Nas was the only one who congratulated him. He also criticized other rappers, labeling them as attention-seekers.

Wayne Responds on X (Formerly Twitter)

The following day, Lil Wayne seemingly shared his thoughts about being mentioned in GNX. On his X (formerly Twitter) account, Wayne wrote:
“Oh man, what the hell am I doing?! I’m just relaxing and they’re still in my head.” This suggests that Wayne was surprised and somewhat displeased to have his name brought up in Kendrick Lamar’s album. However, he also urged people not to mistake kindness for weakness, and advised Kendrick and others involved to “let this giant sleep.”

Wayne’s Clear Statement: Ready to Respond if Provoked

Wayne ended his message with a clear statement:
“No one really wants to destroy, not even me, but I will destroy if provoked.” This shows that while Wayne appeared to remain calm, he was ready to respond if pushed. “With me. Love.”

The Ongoing Debate: Is This the Start of a New Rap Rivalry?

This incident has sparked a larger debate about the ongoing rivalry and relationship between Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne. While both are legendary figures in the music industry, their differing styles and public statements are leading fans to question whether this could be the start of a new battle for supremacy in the rap world.
