Fans have been waiting for Lil Wayne to comment on Drake’s rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, which has gone viral, because the two artists have a long history together. Though he has been mum, he appeared to publicly declare his allegiance to the Toronto hitmaker during a recent performance. An internet video has him chewing out the words to Kendrick Lamar’s smаsh single “Not Like Us.” Holding up his OVO owl pendant, he did this with great pride.
Naturally, the video has caused quite a stir in DJ Akademiks’ comments section, where listeners аrgue over whether or not Kendrick was the intended target of this shade. Opinions vary on whether it was a direct diss or just a stretch. His immensely popular Drake collaboration, “The Motto,” included the words, after all.
Furthermore, a lot of people think that instead of “They not like us,” Lil Wayne meant “They don’t like us,” though it’s hard to know from the video alone. Regardless, people are wondering what would happen if Kendrick and Lil Wayne got into it after this new escapade. Fans are equally divided about this subject.
Lil Wayne hasn’t spoken out about the lyrical feud yet, but this isn’t the first time he’s showed Drake some love recently. For instance, in an interview he gave towards the end of last month, he named five rappers who he really likes. Among the artists he mentioned were Drake, Jay-Z, Eminem, Missy Elliot, and The Notorious B.I.G. There was no room for Kendrick. Do you approve of Lil Wayne’s performance of “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar, in which he raps while brandishing his OVO pendant? Was this a direct shot at Kendrick? If so, what do you think? If he faced off against Kendrick, what do you believe would happen? Feel free to leave your opinions in the comment area and stay tuned to HNHH for further updates.
