Wiz Khalifa Responds To Lil Wayne’s ESPN Interview

A few days before the Super Bowl, ESPN’s 1st & 10 had Lil Wayne as a special guest on the show. There wasn’t anything surprising about that seeing as how Weezy has been on the show before and is good friends with the show’s resident debater Skip Bayless. They had him on the show to speak about “Green & Yellow” – which at that time had been released maybe a day before and was already becoming a topic of discussion as the fight song for the Green Bay Packers.

HipHopDX caught up with the man at the front of the Taylor Gang movement to gauge his reaction to the record and if he perceived it as a subliminal diss because of his alleged jabs at Tyga.

“Nah, not at all. I don’t think it had anything to do with that,” said Wiz confidently. However, the DXnext alum did note that Wayne missed an opportunity in the interview that aired days before the Super Bowl to acknowledge a peer “I’ve seen the interview, I think it’s just the case of what a lot of older dudes do now…this is just me being real by saying this, they try to act like they don’t know who I am, or try to act like I don’t know what I’m doing,” Wiz stated. “Because when [ESPN] did the interview with [Lil] Wayne, he was [saying] that he heard the song from the [Pittsburgh] Steelers – he heard it ’cause it was my song, but he didn’t say that. He had an opportunity to step up and say that, and he didn’t.”

Wiz also went on to saw that holding grudges or having disdain towards Wayne or Young Money would be useless mainly because it would put strains on both of their movements. Rolling Papers, his debut album, is scheduled to hit shelves March 29. But of course you knew that already.
