In a recent interview on REVOLT’s Drink Champs, legendary rapper Lil Wayne made a hilarious yet shocking confession that has left fans buzzing. During his conversation with hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, Weezy admitted that he once thought 21 Savage wasn’t just one person, but a whole group of 21 rappers!
While discussing his latest album Funeral, Lil Wayne reminisced about the time he genuinely believed 21 Savage was a gang of rappers. “I remember thinking 21 Savage was a damn group,” Wayne laughed. “I was like, ‘They got 21 little rappers in one group? That’s like a new Wu-Tang, right?’”
The shocking admission has fans laughing and stunned at the same time, as Wayne’s misunderstanding highlights just how out-of-touch the rap icon can be with some of the newer faces in the hip-hop world.
The surprises didn’t stop there. During a rapid-fire round of “This or That,” N.O.R.E. asked Wayne to choose between T.D.E. (Top Dawg Entertainment) and Quality Control Music, two of the biggest labels in the game right now. Wayne’s response? Pure confusion.
“I don’t know who T.D.E. is,” Wayne admitted, leaving fans floored. Despite working with Kendrick Lamar—one of T.D.E.’s biggest stars—on the track “Mona Lisa” from Tha Carter V, Wayne still seemed unaware of the label’s prominence.
It’s clear that Lil Wayne, a pioneer in the rap industry, operates on a different level from much of the current hip-hop landscape. His unawareness of key players like 21 Savage and T.D.E. highlights just how detached he is from today’s rap scene.
This candid moment has not only provided fans with a good laugh but also a glimpse into the mind of a legend who remains in his own creative bubble, focused on his art rather than the ever-changing faces of modern hip-hop
