Joe Budden has weighed in on the viral lyrics.

Joe Budden discussed Kendrick Lamar's new album, GNX, on the latest episode of his podcast. In doing so, he and his co-hosts brought up the "Not Like Us" rapper appearing to diss Lil Wayne over their ongoing feud regarding the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

To start, the group debated whether the lyrics referencing Wayne constitute a "diss." On the track, "wacced out murals," Lamar raps: “I used to bump ‘Tha Carter 3’, I held my Rollie chain proud. Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down... Got the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me, all these n****s agitated I’m just glad it’s on they faces.” Budden didn't feel the lyrics quite count as dissing Wayne.

Wayne has since responded to the lyric on X (formerly Twitter), warning that he doesn't want a feud. "Man wtf I do?!" he wrote. "I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love." Wayne previously expressed his disappointment that the NFL chose Lamar to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show instead of him.
