Lil Wayne appears to have some thoughts on Kendrick Lamar‘s new song “wacced out murals.”

On Friday (Nov. 22), Lamar surprised fans with the release of his sixth studio album, GNX. The 12-track project covers a range of intense topics, including Wayne’s frustration over being passed over to headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show in his hometown of New Orleans.


“Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” K. Dot raps on album opener “wacced out murals,” referring to Weezy posting a video about how hurt he was about not being chosen to headline the Super Bowl in his hometown.

Lamar continues on the song, “Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me/ All these n—-s agitated, I’m just glad they showin’ they faces.”

Wayne, having had some time to digest the lyric, seemingly responded in a post on X (formerly Twitter) early Saturday morning.

“Man wtf I do?!” Weezy began the post. “I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”

Back in September, Wayne openly admitted that being snubbed for the Super Bowl halftime gig in his own city was deeply painful.

“That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot,” he said at the time. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown. And for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blame myself for that. But I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot.”

In early November, during his Lil WeezyAna Fest in New Orleans, Wayne reiterated the sentiment, telling the crowd, “I told myself I wanted to be on that stage in front of my mom, and I worked my ass off for that position. It was ripped away from me, but this moment right here… they can’t take this away from me.”

Kesha Brings 'Holiday Road' to The Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The newly independent pop singer's cover of Lindsay Buckingham's 1983 song from National Lampoon's Vacation was first released as a Spotify exclusive for the holidays. Michael Bublé's Christmas, meanwhile, remains at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Kesha has brought an under-appreciated holiday gem back to the charts. Her version of "Holiday Road" debuts on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (dated Dec. 28, 2024) at No. 83.

"Holiday Road" was originally released in 1983 by Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham and serves as the propulsive opening theme to the Chevy Chase-starting classic comedy road trip film National Lampoon's Vacation.
