Lil Wayne Breaks Silence On Kendrick Lamar's "Wacced Out Murals" Reference

The Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar conflict has been a fascinating addendum to the Drake and Lamar battle. Lamar has made it clear that he does not respect the 6 God in any regard. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, is someone he grew up listening to. He even rapped about the irony of letting Weezy down on the first song of his new album, GNX. Fans have gone back and forth as to whether the reference was meant to be a diss towards Wayne or a tacit acknowledgment of the fact that he will be playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Lil Wayne's hometown. Well, Weezy has finally given his two cents on the matter.

Lil Wayne went on The Skip Bayless Show to explain what transpired between him and Kendrick Lamar. He absolved the Compton rapper of any fault in the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. He did not feel slighted by the fact that Dot referenced him by name on "wacced out murals." "Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud," Lamar spits. "Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down." Lil Wayne clarified that he had not actually heard the song prior to the Bayless interview. Upon having the lyrics read to him, however, he took it as a sign of mutual respect.

Lil Wayne Took Kendrick Lamar's Lyrics In Good Faith

"He's a fan like I'm a fan," the rapper stated. "He saw like everybody else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that's all he mean." Lil Wayne went to say that he understood what Lamar meant, especially with regard to his hard work. "I understand those words," Weezy assured the host. "He made it there... His hard work is the reason he made it there." Wayne's good faith read of the song makes a lot of sense given that Kendrick Lamar dubbed him the "greatest" in a 2022 interview with The Coveteur.

The Compton rapper, who worked with Wayne on 2018's "Mona Lisa," told the outlet that Weezy's impact on hip hop culture is immeasurable. "We was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans," he explained. "Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Wayne in high regards." Wayne responded to the interview by calling Lamar a "real one" on Twitter.

Chris Brown Wants Prisoners Fighting L.A. Fires To Have Sentences Shaved

Los Angeles, CA - Chris Brown has called for prisoners who have enlisted to tackle the Los Angeles wildfires to have their sentences cut.

Nearly 800 incarcerated firefighters have been deployed in L.A. since the enormous blazes began earlier this week and have devastated much of the California city.

Brown, who lives in L.A., is among those who have called for the inmate firefighters to be rewarded by the justice system for helping out during the disaster.

“LA… Make sure y’all throw a ceremony or parade for these firefighters and first responders after this,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories on Thursday (January 9).

“Also the prisoners who were out there risking they lives need time knocking off their sentences. Just saying.”

The R&B singer also expressed skepticism over the origin of the fires, writing in a separate post: “Someone starting these fires. Shit don’t add up.”

It has been reported that the incarcerated firefighters are being paid between $5.80 and $10.24 per day, plus $1 per hour extra when they are responding to an active emergency.

The Game has also been busy helping those affected by the fires.

The Compton rapper said he would help people who have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the blazes find accommodation free of charge.

“Me & [talent manager Travis Wilson] are helping 10 families effected [sic] by the fires here get into @airbnb for a week free of charge [praying hands emoji],” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.

He then directed those interested to message Wilson on Instagram, adding: “Must have an identification or drivers license with address in the affected areas.”

At least 10 people have been killed since the fires began, with the number expected to rise.

As many as 10,000 structures have also been destroyed in the ferocious blazes, which have been difficult to stop due to powerful winds and dry conditions.

Almost 200,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and it is already the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history, with damages widely expected to surpass $50 billion.

A number of celebrities have lost their homes in the fire including Paris Hilton as well as actors James Woods, Eugene Levy and Cary Elwes.
