Lil Wayne Reached Out to Kendrick Lamar Over ‘GNX’ Bars & Compton Rapper Didn’t Respond, Says Joe Budden


Lil Wayne reached out to Kendrick Lamar after name-dropping him on "Wacced Out Murals," and Wayne didn't hear back, Joe Budden claims.

On the latest episode of his eponymous podcast, Budden claimed on Wednesday (Nov. 27) that Wayne called Kendrick, and the Compton native didn’t respond. Kendrick raps on the album’s opening track: “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” Wayne admitted he was hurt by the NFL’s decision to have Kendrick headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show next year with the big game in his hometown of New Orleans, which has seemingly caused static between the two.
