Additionally, Cam’ron came after JAY-Z during the latest episode of his It Is What It Is podcast. “It’s not really a secret. Lil Wayne had a problem with somebody before who’s kinda part of the organization running it. This is payback,” he theorized. Master P also suggested that Wayne should be tapped to perform during the show. The selection of Lamar comes amid his ongoing feud with Drake. In his announcement, he trolled Drake by remarking: "You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship — no round twos." Drake had recently teased being ready for a "Game 2" on his Instagram Story.
