    Lil Wayne’s Son Claims His Father Wrote “Most” of Drake’s Lyrics

    Novi Carter says Drake wouldn’t be where he is without Weezy

    Lil Wayne’s son, Novi Carter, has sparked controversy after claiming his father ghostwrote “most” of Drake’s lyrics during an interview with YouTuber TrillMarty.

    Novi didn’t mince words: “My dad wrote most of [Drake’s] shit. I mean, on God. Like, if it wasn’t for my pops, there wouldn’t be no Drake. I mean, there probably would be a Drake, but he wouldn’t be where he’s at, though.” He quickly added, “No disrespect to Drake. He hard.”

    While the younger Carter didn’t name specific tracks allegedly written by Lil Wayne, his comments have stirred debate online about Drake’s songwriting credibility — a topic that has shadowed the Canadian rapper throughout his career.

    Neither Lil Wayne nor Drake have addressed the claims, but both artists have consistently expressed admiration for each other. Drake has referred to Wayne as a mentor and idol, once saying, “I still get nervous speaking about this man… he’s still my idol.”

    Wayne, for his part, has defended Drake publicly, even joking about the rapper’s critics: “He red, he light-skinned… that’s just American history.”

    Whether Novi’s comments were exaggerated or not, they’ve reignited one of hip-hop’s oldest debates — who’s really writing the bars?

    Lil Wayne Says His Best Verse is Still Ahead, But Picks His Favorite So Far

    Weezy reflects on his career and the verse that earned respect from New York artists

    Lil Wayne is confident that his best verse is yet to come, but when it comes to his favorite, he points to a 1997 track, “Block Burner,” from the Hot Boys’ album Get It How U Live! At just 15 years old, Wayne delivered a standout performance on the track, notably without cursing—a choice that earned him respect from many of his New York peers.

    Speaking on Maverick Carter’s Mavericks show, Wayne explained that the verse continues to stand out in his catalog. “To me, my best verse is always gonna be… my first solo song on the Hot Boys album,” he shared, highlighting how his clean lyrics set him apart in the rap scene. “They would always tell me, ‘I thought you were just gonna be a little sing-song artist where it doesn’t matter if you cussing or not. But you really be rapping.’”

    The conversation comes as Wayne and the Hot Boys announce an extension of their reunion tour. Three upcoming shows in Tampa, Charlotte, and St. Louis are set for late February, with B.G., Juvenile, and Turk joining Wayne on stage. The announcement follows their successful comeback performance at LilWeezyana Fest in November.

    One such collaborator, West Coast legend Warren G, previously revealed that he contributed to the album. Speaking on SiriusXM, Warren shared details about their track, titled “All Alone.”

    “I got a record called ‘All Alone’ with Lil Wayne. It’s gonna be on Tha Carter VI,” Warren G said. “They was like, ‘We need this, Warren.’ I was like, ‘Aight, that’s cool.’ It’s me and him on there. That muthafucka’s so vicious. When they hear that, they gon’ be like, ‘Wow!’”

  • Lil Wayne’s Son, Neal, Slams Lil Baby’s New Album ‘WHAM’

    Lil Wayne’s Son, Neal, Slams Lil Baby’s New Album ‘WHAM’

    Weezy’s 15-year-old son joins others in criticizing the rapper’s latest effort

    Lil Wayne’s son, Neal, has made it clear he isn’t a fan of Lil Baby’s latest album, WHAM, and he’s not alone in his discontent. During a recent livestream, the 15-year-old, whose mother is R&B singer Nivea, responded to a fan who suggested he collaborate with Lil Baby, saying, “You gotta be out your goddamn mind. That n-gga dropped a terrible album. I’m not making a music video with him.” He continued, “Lil Baby’s not even butt, bruh. It’s just that album was terrible.”

    Neal’s harsh criticism echoes sentiments from other notable figures. Media personality Akademiks also trashed WHAM, calling it “garbage” and claiming it “didn’t sound good, it didn’t look good.” Streamer Kai Cenat, who rated the album a 6 out of 10 on his Twitch channel, also shared his less-than-enthusiastic opinion.

    In an interview with Complex, Lil Baby responded dismissively to Cenat’s review, suggesting the young streamer didn’t understand his music due to their age gap. Despite the criticism, WHAM debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, earning 140,000 equivalent units in its first week. Lil Baby has a busy 2025 ahead, with several new projects lined up.

    Lil Wayne shares his reaction to Kendrick Lamar regarding next year’s Super Bowl halftime performance

    The drama came earlier this year after Kendrick Lamar was named headliner of the February 9 event in Wayne’s hometown, New Orleans. Lil Wayne has been expressing his disappointment all along; he felt snubbed.

    Kendrick responded to Wayne’s comments on the track “wacced murals” off his latest album GNX. During this time, Wayne’s social network activity seemed to spur interest as he threatened to destroy whoever bothered him.

    In a recent interview with Skip Bayless, Lil Wayne says the disagreement was resolved. “I spoke to him and wished him all the best,” Wayne stated. “I told him he better kill it. He gotta kill it.”

    Charlemagne Tha God says Kendrick Lamar would outshine Lil Wayne in lyrical face-off

    Kendrick Lamar will lyrically put Lil Wayne to shame if ever there was a face-off, declared Charlamagne Tha God.

    Speaking about such a hypothetical beef between the Compton MC and the Young Money legend on The Breakfast Club Monday (December 2), Charlamagne shared his opinion, which pricked up ears in light of Kendrick’s being the headline act at the next Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, Wayne’s hometown.

    “Lil Wayne is a top five MC of all time,” he declared, “but he don’t want no problems with Kendrick right now. Emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, Wayne is not on Kendrick’s level.”

    The details, too, include that Kendrick wouldn’t even need a diss track. “Kendrick would break down Wayne’s life in a therapeutic way-out of love. He’d talk about the struggles, traumas, and even the iconic dreadlocks.”

    Charlamagne’s comments have brought more heat back into the rap titans’ rings-who have now just one official collaboration to count in Tha Carter V’s “Mona Lisa”. Fans will now be looking forward to how this seemingly friendly rivalry will develop or spark off some future larceny.

    “Used to bump Tha Carter 3, 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 Eskimo, I drew the line and decimals,” he raps.

    K.Dot later spits: “Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me / All these n-ggas aggitated, I’m just glad they showed they faces / Quite frankly, plenty artists but they outdated / Old-ass flows, tryna convince me that you they favorite / This is not for lyricists, I swear it’s not the sentiments / Fuck a double entendre, I want y’all to feel this shit.”
