Lil Wayne appears to have addressed Kendrick Lamar’s recent lyrics in “Wacced Out Murals,” though he didn’t directly mention Lamar by name. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Weezy shared a message that seems to respond to the track, where Lamar reflects on the controversy surrounding his 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show selection in New Orleans.
In his tweet, Wayne wrote what could be interpreted as a warning, stating, “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.”
The lyrics in Lamar’s “Wacced Out Murals” touch on the backlash to his halftime show announcement. Critics argued that Lil Wayne, a New Orleans native and rap icon, should have received the honor instead. Lamar raps, “I used to bump Tha Carter 3, 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****s agitated I’m just glad it’s on they faces.”
Wayne has previously expressed disappointment over being overlooked for the halftime performance. During his Lil WeezyAna Fest earlier this year, he told fans, “That moment I said to myself, ‘I wanna be on stage for the Super Bowl, one day, in front of my mom.’ And I worked my ass off to get that f*cking position, and it was ripped away from me.”
While the tweet doesn’t explicitly confirm a feud, it highlights Wayne’s lingering frustration over the missed opportunity and the ongoing debate sparked by Lamar’s lyrics.
