Lil Wayne's son is a huge fan of Playboi Carti.

Lil Wayne's son, Lil Novi, says that Playboi Carti is the younger generation's version of his father. Speaking about the topic of the greatest rappers of all time during an interview with Flophouse Atlanta, Novi placed Carti just below his dad and said that he's reached his level. "Obviously, my dad but for me, I'd say like because Carti is like the Wayne now so yeah, Carti. If you really like think, he's there, he's reached that level. He's done crazy numbers."

When Kurrco shared a clip of the interview on Twitter, fans had mixed responses to the hot take. "I don’t think he knows how God tier of a rapper his dad is," one user replied. Another argued: "Not even in the same stratosphere numbers wise. Wayne was big as Drake but cool with the kids like Carti. Whole different monster." On another topic, others noted how similar Wayne and his son sound.
