Lil Wayne acknowledges that he mistook 21 Savage for a group of 21 rappers

When it comes to the rest of the rap scene, Lil Wayne is on another level. He often doesn’t know who people are talking about when they describe the newest hip-hop sensation dominating the scene since that level is so different.

Tidal debuted the most recent episode of REVOLT’s Drink Champs, which included Weezy, on Friday, January 31. Wayne discusses his new album Funeral and recalls a period when he believed 21 Savage was more than just one rapper during his chat with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Rapper Young Money claims that he first thought 21 Savage was a gang of rappers.

Wayne recalls, “I remember thinking 21 Savage was a damn group.” “I remarked, ‘They had 21 fucking little rappers in one group?’ when they questioned me [about him]. I was quite serious. “Man, that’s like a new Wu-Tang, right?” was my reaction.

Wayne revealed something that would have shocked fans just as much later in the conversation. N.O.R.E. questioned Wayne on his preference for T.D.E. (Top Dawg Entertainment) over Quality Control Music during a brief game of This or That. Wayne gave off the impression that he was ignorant of the labels.

Wayne said, “I don’t know who T.D.E is.”

Given that they both worked on Wayne’s “Mona Lisa” song from Tha Carter V, Weezy is obviously aware of Kendrick Lamar.
