Lil Wayne has long been silent on the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, but a recent performance may hint at where his loyalties lie. 

During the show, captured in a widely circulated clip, Lil Wayne recited lyrics from Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" while prominently displaying his OVO owl pendant, a symbol closely associated with Drake. 

This act has ignited a flurry of discussions among fans and commentators, especially in DJ Akademiks' comments section, with some viewing it as a subtle endorsement of Drake over Kendrick.

Debate rages over whether Wayne's actions were a direct diss toward Kendrick or merely a show of support for Drake. 

The ambiguity of his "They don't like us" versus "They not like us" lyrics adds fuel to the speculation. 

This incident adds another layer to the complex relationships within the rap community, particularly as Lil Wayne previously omitted Kendrick Lamar from his list of top five rappers—which includes Drake, Jay-Z, Eminem, Missy Elliot, and The Notorious B.I.G.

As the discussion unfolds, fans remain divided on the implications of Lil Wayne's performance, eagerly awaiting any direct comments from the rapper on his current views towards both Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
