In a dramatic turn of events that has captivated the hip-hop community, Drake and Lil Wayne find themselves at odds following Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.” During a recent performance in Las Vegas, Lil Wayne’s DJ unexpectedly played the track, which features pointed lyrics that many interpreted as directed at Drake. The moment ignited speculation about a rift between the two artists, who were once inseparable collaborators and friends.

Lil Wayne’s loyalty has always been a defining trait, nurtured under the mentorship of Birdman and Slim. However, the recent lyrical changes he made in “Not Like Us,” particularly the line “They do not like us, blame it on my loyalty,” have led fans to question his allegiance to Drake. This controversy comes on the heels of Drake feeling abandoned during his public feud with Kendrick, as he believed Wayne would support him but remained silent.

The situation escalated further when Wayne was seen wearing an XO chain, a gift from The Weeknd, who has collaborated with artists openly critical of Drake. This prompted fans to speculate whether Wayne was subtly distancing himself from his protégé. Adding to the tension, Drake addressed his feelings of betrayal at a recent party, suggesting that past friends had switched up on him. His remarks were met with mixed reactions, with some sympathizing and others criticizing him for perceived hypocrisy, recalling his own complicated history with loyalty among friends.

As the narrative unfolds, fans are left wondering if this is the end of a legendary partnership or merely a bump in the road for two of hip-hop’s biggest names. The industry is closely watching, as both artists navigate their complicated history and the fallout from Kendrick’s provocative lyrics. With the bond between Drake and Wayne appearing to fray, the question remains: can they mend their relationship, or has their brotherhood been irrevocably damaged?
