Lil Wayne on Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, and Yachty: ‘I Swear to God I Didn’t Know You Were Saying People’s Name’
Lil Wayne held a book signing and meet-and-greet for the release of his new memoir Gone ‘Til November on Tuesday.
Following the signing, The New York Times sat down with Weezy, asking him questions about his book, the guest verses he’s done this year, and working with younger musicians. Surprisingly, when asked if he kept up with Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, and Kodak Black, he answered like he didn’t know who they were.
“I swear to God I didn’t know you were saying people’s names just now, so that should probably answer that question. I just do my own thing.”
Later, the Times asked if Tha Carter V was finished, and Wayne confirmed the album was completed.
“It’s done, sitting and wrapped as is. I just listened to it for the first time in months the other day. I had forgotten every single word on it, because I work every day. I popped it in, and I was like, it’s still so much better than everything I’ve ever heard. Not what’s going on right now — everything I’ve ever heard.”
Wayne also addressed his label frustration and retirement tweets, and the reaction they received from other artists, family, and fans. While he opened up about them on Skip Bayless’ Undisputed and reconfirmed that he wasn’t going to retire, he said:
“I’d be a liar to say it didn’t. People always say, ‘How could not expect it?’ But when I saw people giving a damn about what I’m going through, that made me think and obviously uplifted me. Sometimes what you’re going through takes you far away from what the reality is. It takes someone to remind you: Look this way and remember what’s over here. I never have bad days; I have bad moments.”
In another interview with the Associated Press, Wayne addressed the criticisms he received for saying there’s “no such thing as racism,” expanding his thoughts by sharing a childhood story about when he accidentally shot himself in the chest at 12 years old. Wayne says his perspective is this way because a white police officer saved his life.
“Yeah, he was a cop, and my life was saved by a white man. I don’t know what racism is. I know a good (expletive) named Uncle Bob, though.” Wayne said.
He also said ‘Uncle Bob’ personally took him to the hospital and stayed with him until he recovered.
Nicki Minaj is on the cover of the latest issue of Marie Claire this month, the second time she’s appeared on the magazine’s cover, and she has a lot to say about making her own lane as a woman in hip-hop. She talks about drawing career inspiration from Jay Z, wondering why no other female rappers were leveraging their success in this way. “I can look at someone’s career and just pinpoint the dos and the don’ts, and the one person I’ve done that with for my entire career was Jay Z. He did such a great job being an authentic street guy and a businessman, and I was like, ‘Why aren’t there women doing that, taking the success from rap and channeling it into their empire?’ I felt like anything he could do, I could do.”
She’s discussed this before. Way back in 2012, she made headlines for saying something similar in an Allure magazine profile. “I’m coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul,” she said of Jay, which some people took as a diss or challenge to him. Looking back on it, it’s clear that she was alluding to the business inspiration she took from his career.
Nicki also touched on how empowering it is to work with Beyoncé. “Every time Bey and I do something together, I see how women are inspired, and it has nothing to do with how we look,” she said. “It has to do with how we are owning who we are and telling other women you should be the boss of your own career and the brains behind your life or your decisions or your art. I just love that feeling.”
Beanie Sigel chats about his beef with Meek Mill and The Game, problems with State Property and Charlamagne not being qualified to talk about these issues.
Kehlani recently sat down with Power 106’s The Cruz Show in Los Angeles for a wide-ranging conversation about her debut album, being 21 in Las Vegas and partying with Bryson Tiller, going through heartbreak, and more.
The 21-year-old singer, who just released her singles “CRZY” and “Gangsta” off The Suicide Squad soundtrack, gave fans some good news regarding her next project: it’s almost here. “I’m definitely in the last part of it. I’m in the final run. I’m doing all the tweaking and bringing in people to give me opinions,” she says. “I’m putting together the final track listing—even thinking of track listings—and now plotting on artworks and things like that.”
Earlier this year, Kehlani was hospitalized after a reported suicide attempt. Many speculated that it had to do with her relationships with former boyfriend PND and then-current beau Kyrie. Reflecting on the incident now, she says, “It was tough. It’s still tough. It’s an everyday, day by day [thing].” But on the flip side, she adds, “It’s not too much that can hurt me now. I used to be very easily hurt, and now I’m like, ‘Please unleash it all on me, I bet I am going to be unfazed as hell after you stop talking.’”
