AceShowbiz - Hip-hop fans are on the edge of their seats, anticipating a possible battle between Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne following "GNX" release. However, some fans' desperation has led them to rely on technology to satisfy their wishes.
Multiple fake diss tracks claiming to be from Lil Wayne against Kendrick Lamar have emerged online, confusing fans. One stood out after it was mentioned by Kendrick affiliate Hitta J3. It features lyrics dismissing K.Dot as "weird" and his song as music for "bedtime."
The rivalry stems from Lil Wayne's loyalty to Drake, who was targeted by Kendrick Lamar in a rap battle earlier this year. Additionally, the NFL's selection of Kendrick Lamar to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, Lil Wayne's hometown, has sparked outrage among some fans while Wayne admitted he's hurt by the snub.
Nicki Minaj supported Wayne, but Snoop Dogg offered a more neutral stance, emphasizing the importance of hip-hop's presence on such a significant platform and encouraging unity within the genre.
"You should just be honored that hip-hop is being able to be seen on that platform, for all of us, and not hate on the next man, but be happy," Snoop said. "Before Jay-Z got control of the Super Bowl, wasn't no n***as performing. He's creating a wave of artists that have an opportunity to perform."
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar's recent album opener "wacced out murals" addressed the controvery, fueling their feud. Lil Wayne's angry Twitter response has further intensified the rumors.
