Lil Wayne Reacts to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Wacced Out Murals’ Lyric: ‘I Shall Destroy If Disturbed’
Lil Wayne appears to have responded to Kendrick Lamar's newfound name-drop in the song "wacced out murals" from Lamar's new album, GNX.
Kendrick Lamar’s New Album and Controversial Lyric
Kendrick Lamar surprised fans last Friday, November 22, with the release of his sixth studio album titled GNX. The 12-track project wades through a host of intense topics, one of which places Lil Wayne's frustration over being skipped over for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans, his hometown and city.
On the album's opener, "wacced out murals," Lamar makes sure to include Weezy, rapping: “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.”
The line seemingly nods to a viral video of Lil Wayne expressing his disappointment about not being selected to headline the Super Bowl show in his city. Lamar further elaborates, “Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me/ All these n—-s agitated, I’m just glad they showin’ they faces.”
Lil Wayne’s Response to Social Media
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday morning, Lil Wayne offered a cryptic yet fiery response to the track. “Man wtf I do?!” he wrote. “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 wants destruction, not even me, but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”
Wayne’s post suggests that he has taken time to process the lyrics but is not shy about addressing perceived slights.
Wayne’s Open Disappointment Over Super Bowl Snub
Wayne has not been quiet about his feelings regarding the Super Bowl Halftime Show. In September, he admitted that being passed over for the performance deeply hurt him.
“That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot,” he said during an interview. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown… I thought there was nothing better than that spot and that stage in my city, so it hurt.”
During his Lil WeezyAna Fest in early November, Wayne revisited the topic, telling fans: “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.”
The Ongoing Exchange
As fans dissect Lamar’s lyrics and Wayne’s response, the exchange has sparked conversations about recognition, respect, and the impact of perceived slights in the music industry.
