Lil Wayne Appears to Respond to Kendrick Lamar’s Mention on ‘GNX’ Album

Lil Wayne, Nas, and Snoop Dogg responded to being named in Kendrick Lamar's 'Wacced Out Murals' from new album 'GNX.'

Kendrick Lamar dropped surprise album GNX on Friday, where he addresses being chosen for the Super Bowl Halftime show in New Orleans over hometown rapper Lil Wayne. In September, shortly after Lamar was chosen to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime show, Lil Wayne expressed his disappointment, saying it “ hurt a whole lot ” that he wasn’t the pick for February’s big game (although he did not specifically mention the show by name, he had previously said he hoped to be asked) and that “it broke me.” Several others in his camp, including Nicki Minaj and Birdman, also felt Wayne should’ve been chosen. As for Snoop Dogg, Lamar mentions him during the same verse, in the context of Drake’s Lamar diss track, “ Taylor Made Freestyle.” That song features AI vocals from Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur (Drake later pulled the song from his social media after the threat of legal action from Shakur’s estate).
