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

Budden claims the alleged cold shoulder led Weezy to get in the booth.

Following Kendrick Lamar’s name-dropping of Lil Wayne on GNX opener “Wacced Out Murals,” Weezy allegedly attempted to check in with Lamar and take his temperature on what he meant exactly, according to Joe Budden.

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.
