Lil Wayne Says No Artist Can Battle Him On Stage In A Versus
Lil Wayne is thumping his chest in confidence saying unequivocally that no rapper of his era can challenge him in any rap battle.
One of the best rappers alive, Lil Wayne, has brashly asserted that no performer can compete with him on the Versus stage. The American rapper named the artist he would like to face in a Verzuz showdown during an interview with Rolling Stone. The rapper delivered an odd response when asked who he would like to compete against.
“I was interested in Mixtape Weezy going against Lil Wayne. That would have been crazy,” Wayne said.
The journalist responded, “So you’d be onstage by yourself?”
“Yeah. What other artists you think?” Wayne shot back. “There ain’t no other artist that can stand on the stage next to me, bro. I’m sorry.”
Aside from Jay-Z, fans have been anticipating Lil Wayne to participate in a Verzuz matchup. But the question remains: who would be a worthy opponent for him?
In December of 2022, Wiz Khalifa threw his hat into the conversation and said that he would like to take on Lil Wayne in a Verzuz battle.
“I think that would be fun,” Wiz told DJ Superstar Jay in an interview. “Because Wayne’s a really dope performer. Me and him going back and forth performing bangers. That s**t would be hard. And we both smoke hella weed. I think that would be more like a concert than a Verzuz.”
Similarly, Lil Wayne aimed a dig at the recent Billboard/Vibe Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list.
The list placed Biggie, Eminem, Tupac, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay-Z, respectively, before Lil Wayne, pushing the CMYMB boss into the discussion, and he believes he is rather the GOAT, the greatest of all time.
In an interview, Lil Wayne was asked about his views on the list which placed Jay-Z at the top. Wayne was adamant in his response, stating: “Who the Hell Is Before Me?, I am No. 1.”
This statement was met with a wave of controversy from both Jay-Z and Lil Wayne supporters. Fans of both artists took to social media to voice their opinions, with some even calling for a rap battle between the two.
