Did Lil Wayne diss Drake in his new track 'Saturday Mornings'?
Weezy has always been in Drake's corner. However, the internet loves to overanalyze rap lyrics, especially those from artists like Drake who are masters of subliminals.
This scrutiny has now extended to Lil Wayne, Drake's mentor of over a decade and a half.
Fans are questioning whether Wayne dissed the 6 God in his latest track, "Saturday Mornings," a slick collaboration with Cordae.
Lil Wayne delivers some of his best wordplay in years on the back end of the song, but certain bars have been interpreted as potential Drizzy bashing.
"It fit me like a glove, OJ hand. I'ma need a little love from your hating a*s," Wayne raps.
"Need less yes-men and more amens. I'ma need more real prayers and less praying hands."
Fans speculate that the OJ glove reference points to the artwork for Drake's diss song "6:16 In LA," and the "praying hands" mention could be a nod to Drake's "6 God" logo.
The line that truly has fans puzzled is one involving Drake's surname: Graham.
"You standing on business, I'm a business man," Wayne spits.
"I'ma GOAT, n**ga you a sacrificial lamb. You a Teddy bear, n**ga, a Teddy Graham."
This seems to paint the target as sweet, and Drake has often been mocked for his perceived softness throughout his career.
Despite this, Wayne has been unwaveringly supportive of Drake since the beginning. The two have collaborated numerous times, and Young Money has stood by Drake, even during his feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Wayne even went viral for trying to defend Drake against Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss by tweaking the lyrics during a performance in Vegas, although it led to some confusion about his stance.
Interestingly, Lil Wayne released a collaboration with Rick Ross on July 26, despite Ross's firm anti-Drake stance.
While there's plenty to speculate about, it's important to give Wayne the benefit of the doubt. Until one of them says otherwise, Lil Wayne and Drake are good.
