Lil Wayne has addressed being name-dropped in Kendrick Lamar’s new track Wacced Out Murals from the album GNX. The song references Wayne’s emotional response to being overlooked for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, a moment he previously described as deeply painful.
In the track, Kendrick reflects on Wayne’s influence while hinting at a sense of irony:
"Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud;
Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down;
Whatever though, call me crazy, everybody questionable;
Turn me to an Eskimo, I drew the line and decimals.”
The emotional undertones of Kendrick’s verse struck a chord with Wayne, prompting him to respond directly. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on November 23, Wayne expressed his frustration:

"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."
Fans are divided over the meaning behind Kendrick’s lyrics. Some view them as a thoughtful reflection on Wayne’s influence and the Super Bowl incident, while others speculate they may carry a subtle critique. The ambiguity is heightened by Kendrick’s admiration for Wayne and their collaboration on Mona Lisa, which underscored their mutual respect.
Wayne’s post highlights his frustration with being drawn into controversies but also reflects his preference for peace over conflict. This exchange not only sheds light on their layered relationship but also underscores the power of lyrical storytelling in rap. Fans are left to wonder whether this interaction will lead to future collaborations—or further debate.
