Kendrick Lamar is rapping about some bad blood.
With the surprise Nov. 22 release of his sixth album GNX, the “Not Like Us” rapper addressed the controversy surrounding his upcoming performance at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

In fact, Lil Wayne expressed his “hurt” over the perceived snub, sharing in a recent Instagram video, “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for just automatically, mentally putting myself in that position.”
On the song “wacced out murals,” Kendrick alluded to the incident, rapping, “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down / Whatever though, call me crazy, everybody questionable / Turn me to an Esk—, I drew the line and decimals.”
