Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter 6 was hands down the most anticipated rap album of 2025. On June 6 Weezy finally delivered the studio album. But not without controversy.
Lil Wayne Takes Apparent Shot at Jay-Z
On one of the songs on the project, titled “Flex Up,” Wayne seems to aim at fellow Grammy Award winner, Jay-Z.
“I just talked to Hov and he told me he seen me. Funny, I heard the same thing from Stevie [Wonder],” he raps in the song seemingly accusing Jay-Z of lying.
This wouldn’t be the first time the Grammy winners engaged in lyrical warfare. Weezy and Jay-Z battled for the top spot back in 2011.
Wayne fired back at Hov on his song “It’s Good.” The catalyst of his rebuttal was when the Brooklyn artist aimed Weezy in his song H.A.M. off his 2011 Watch The Throne project with Kanye West. In the song, Hov clowns Weezy for being a product of nepotism, accusing him of having “baby money” and noting that at the time, he did not even make more money than Beyonce.
“I’m like really half a Billie, I’m like really you got baby money. Keep it real with n****s, n****s ain’t got my lady money,” Hov raps in the verse.
Wayne tapped Drake and Jadakiss for a track on the Carter V, where hit back at the Roc Nation founder, threatening to kidnap Beyonce for ransom money.
“Talking about baby money. I got your baby money. Kidnap your b***h get that how much [do] you love your lady money,” he raps on the song.
Weezy also seemed to take issue earlier this year concerning the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label, partners with the NFL each year to choose the performer. And despite Weezy’s hometown of New Orleans playing host to the event in 2025, Kendrick Lamar was chosen to headline the show. A decision which Weezy was very vocal about being disappointed in.
