Lil Wayne Picks A Side In Drake And Kendrick Lamar's Rap Feud During Las Vegas Performance — WATCH
It appears Lil Wayne has given his opinion on the ongoing conflict between Drake and Kendrick Lamar and has chosen a side.
Lil Wayne performed at the Resort World in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Performing his hit collaboration "The Motto" (2011) with Drake, Wayne tweaked the lyrics just before Drake's verse, adding in lines from Lamar's "Not Like Us," but instead rapping, "They don't like us."
In the clip, the New Orleans native, 41, can be seen dancing while proudly displaying his OVO chain — a purported nod to Drake's label.
Social media users debated if Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was actually supporting Drake, 37, or the Compton rapper.
"Correction: he held up the OVO CHAIN and rapped they not like us," one Instagram user wrote. "He was saying 'They DON'T like us' then rapped Drake's verse," another commented.
Another debated: "Lmaooooo ain't no way in heaven or hell y'all think Wayne not supporting Drake. Get off the internet fr "
Wayne's performance marked the first time he commented on the rapper's beef. But he did name Drake, real name Aubrey Graham, as one of his favorite rappers of all time.
During an appearance on Cam Heyward's 'Not Just Football' podcast published on June 27, he listed his favorite emcees.
"My Top 5 rappers of all time are Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Eminem," he named. "Ummm... The Notorious B.I.G. — oh, and this is no specific order right here — and Drizzy."
