Lil Wayne crowns himself the greatest of all time.
Lil Wayne continued his Welcome To Tha Carter Tour 2023, as he performed at his recent stop in Los Angeles in front of a sold-out crowd. While rocking the Los Angeles Lakers outfit, the Louisiana legend crowned himself the best ever to do it.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t give a f**k what chu think you’re lookin’ at, but chu are lookin’ at the best rapper alive,” he said.

This is not the first time Weezy gave himself the flowers, as he recently reacted to Billboard & Vibe’s Top 50 best rappers list, and viewed himself at number 1. “Man, who the hell is before me? Was the list including ALL hip-hop, like before and after as well?,” he said on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music show. “I can deal with that… I will tell you that I am a muthaf**kin’ one. Everybody whose names you named, they also know I’m number one. Go ask ’em. They know what it is.”
“This is creativity. No one gets behind a mic, approaches a song and says ‘I’m making a song so it can be better than this one,’” he added. “If we all approached it that way, yeah it’d be a competition. This is creativity. Any individual who creates, this is their individuality. They’re putting their growth and creativity out there for you to enjoy. But we also know this is what the world does, so we have no problem with it.”
However, the Cash Money mogul also called JAY-Z the greatest rapper previously. “The greatest rapper of all time is Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter,” he said on Marcellus Wiley’s More to It podcast. “When you do this rapping thing, obviously like football, every sport is different. You play hockey, I’m sure they got something that they only know about. Something that they probably can’t explain, but only they know. That thing in rap, that we only know in rap, he has that. He’s the Tom Brady of that.”
Just recently, Weezy received praise from his “Ain’t Gonna Answer” collaborator NLE Choppa, who named him in his top 5 Mount Rushmore of rap. “Tupac, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Eminem. I mean that makes sense because I’m gonna be honest I look at it as like how many people like want to be like them.”
