Lil Wayne is in hot water for something he didn’t do. Hip-hop fans love a good rap battle, but some are taking it to the next level. Aka, using tech to create drama that doesn’t even exist. Recently, an AI-generated diss track popped up online, supposedly featuring Lil Wayne going after Kendrick Lamar. The track, which nailed Weezy’s New Orleans flow, had fans completely confused. Was it legit, or just a wild AI experiment?
So, what’s got fans so hyped for a Wayne vs. Kendrick face-off? Well, there’s history. Lil Wayne’s tight bond with Drake could be part of it. Remember earlier this year when Kendrick took shots at Drake in a brutal rap battle? Some fans think Wayne might want to defend his buddy. And then there’s the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans. The NFL picked Kendrick, a Compton native, over Wayne, who’s basically New Orleans royalty. That’s not sitting well with a lot of folks.
Lil Wayne AI Diss Track Goes Viral
However, turns out, it’s not the only fake diss track making the rounds. People are getting creative, and it’s stirring up all kinds of debates. Even Kendrick’s homie Hitta J3 stepped in, tweeting about one of these AI-made tracks (though he didn’t say which one).
Adding fuel to the fire, Kendrick’s new album GNX has a track called “wacced out murals” where he name-checks Wayne: “Used to bump ‘Tha Carter III,’ I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” Wayne’s response? A cryptic tweet that’s only made fans even more curious.
While these AI tracks are just fan fiction for now, they’re tapping into the deep passion and impatience of hip-hop fans. Everyone’s itching for a real showdown, but until that happens, it looks like artificial intelligence is keeping the beef alive. And keeping fans buzzing.
