You cannot poke a bear and then ask why it bites you. Especially when the bear practically obliterated Drake multiple times this year in several songs, including a Grammy-nominated one. Lil Wayne is confused as to why Kendrick Lamar called him out by name in the opening track “Wacced Out Murals” in his surprise album GNX: “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down”
Wayne must’ve been haunted in the middle of the night by the lyric as on November 23, he posted on X at 4 AM ET, “Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”

But Lamar’s name drop didn’t come out of the blue, despite what Wayne believes. When Lamar was announced as the 2025 Super Bowl performer, Wayne took it personally, as New Orleans is his hometown, and he thought he was a shoo-in for the gig. “It made me feel like shit, not getting this opportunity, and when I felt like shit, you guys reminded me that I ain’t shit without y’all,” he shared in an Instagram Reel at the time. Wayne got off easy considering how “Not Like Us” went this year. Now he knows what Father John Misty must feel like.
