Lil Wayne has given a much needed update on him and Kendrick Lamar. He recently said there are no issues between them.

As spotted on Hip Hop N More, Lil Wayne is preparing the release of his forthcoming album Tha Carter VI. As part of his promotional tour he spoke to Rolling Stone about the upcoming project. During the interview, which took several months to happen due to the Los Angeles wildfires and schedule changes, writer Andre Gee got an advance sneak peak of VI. Here Lil Wayne revealed that an all-star line up of collaborators will be featured on the LP including Miley Cyrus, Wyclef Jean, Bono, Machine Gun Kelly, Andrea Bocelli, Elephant Man and his son Kameron Carter. While the cover feature also puts a spotlight on his approach to parenting, how he creates his music and more, it was his response to where he stands with Kendrick Lamar that soon went viral. 

When asked about their relationship he said things are “fine” after Kendrick Lamar referenced him on “wacced out murals.” He also explained that he was not following the Drake and Kendrick beef thus it didn’t dawn on him what he was doing when he was spotted singing the lyrics to “Not Like Us” at one of his shows.

“I went onstage and I was singing this song, and they thought I was dissing,” he said. “I ain’t want my dude to be mad at me. I didn’t even know it was Kendrick!” He added, “If it don’t happen on [ESPN] or FS1, I wouldn’t know that happened.”

Tha Carter VI is set to be released June 6. You can read the Rolling Stone interview here.
