"Can't be a victim" - Former Warriors guard disagrees with Lil Wayne for clapping back at Kendrick Lamar's lyrical diss in 'Wacced Out murals' song
The beef between Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar might be getting heated after the latest comment from the "Lollipop" singer. After Lamar dissed Wayne in his GNX's 'Wacced Out Murals' song, the latter shot back at Lamar and even sent a warning on his X account.
A few verses on Lamar's song took a shot at Wayne.
"I used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud. Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down. ..."
"Got the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me. All these n----- agitated, I'm just glad it's on they faces."
A few days after GNX was released, Lil Wayne posted on his X - formerly Twitter - handle in reply to Kendrick Lamar's diss. Wayne also warned that if he is disturbed, he will bring destruction.
"Man wtf I do?!" Wayne wrote.
"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."
Former Golden State Warriors star Gilbert Arenas reacted to Wayne's post on X. While arguing about the validity of Wayne's declaration of innocence, Arenas said that Lil Wayne shouldn't call himself a victim after his previous comments.
“[Lil Wayne] can’t be a victim… you came out and spoke your mind," Arenas said. "So, when he says ‘I’m just chillen,’ like yeah you chilling today but you wasn’t.”
"You can't express how disappointed you are about the process and then when he makes the comment like damn my hard work let you down, you can't now say 'oh what's going on, what did I do?'
What did Lil Wayne say about his Super Bowl performance snub
In September, Kendrick Lamar was named the headliner for the Super Bowl in February 2025. However, given that the Super Bowl was being held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Wayne's hometown, many thought the "Lollipop" singer would be the obvious choice.
After the announcement featuring Lamar, Lil Wayne opened up about being snubbed. In a video posted on his Instagram, Wayne said that while he was grateful for the support from his fans, he was hurt and wasn't mentally prepared for the shock.
"That hurt, it hurt a lot," Wayne said. "You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot. I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown, and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position."
"But I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot."
Moreover, this was not the only time Lil Wayne had publicly expressed his disappointment with his snub from the Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
On Nov. 2, Wayne was in New Orleans for his Lil Weezyana Fest. Per Bleacher Report, the singer told the crowd that the halftime performance was "ripped away" from him.
