Lil Wayne Sparks Controversy by Rapping Kendrick Lamar’s Lyrics While Flaunting Drake’s OVO Pendant
Lil Wayne and Drake’s long-standing friendship has always intrigued fans, particularly in the context of Drake’s viral feud with Kendrick Lamar. Recently, Wayne seemed to weigh in on the tension during a performance, sending the internet into a frenzy. In a circulating clip, the New Orleans rapper can be seen passionately delivering lines from Kendrick’s hit “Not Like Us” while proudly displaying his OVO owl pendant.
This moment has ignited a heated debate among fans, especially in DJ Akademiks’ comments section. Some argue that Wayne’s performance was a subtle dig at Kendrick, while others dismiss it as a mere coincidence. The debate centers around whether Wayne’s rendition of “Not Like Us” was intended as a diss, particularly since he integrated the lyrics into “The Motto,” a highly successful collaboration with Drake.
Adding fuel to the fire, there’s speculation that Wayne might have been saying “They don’t like us” instead of “They not like us,” though the clip is too ambiguous to confirm. Regardless, this incident has fans buzzing about a potential showdown between Wayne and Kendrick, splitting opinions on who would come out on top.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Wayne has shown his allegiance to Drake recently. Last month, he revealed his top five rappers in an interview, naming Drake, Jay-Z, Eminem, Missy Elliot, and The Notorious B.I.G., with Kendrick noticeably absent from the list.
What do you think about Lil Wayne rapping Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics onstage while holding up his OVO pendant? Was this a direct diss at Kendrick or just a misinterpreted performance?
