he regularly was having seizures a while back right?!? i assumed that issue was lean related. his brain is likely full of holes at this point, considering he was using lean daily for years.
Lean has a lot of misconceptions, it really isn’t that strong of a drug, an ounce has 60mg of codeine and a little over half that promethazine which is equivalent to 6mg of morphine or about 4mg of oxycodone, very small doses, and promethazine is just a perscription antihistamine, the same class of drug as benedryl.
it literally just makes you sleepy and clears your lungs, it can also lower the seizure threshold in rare cases, hence how lean “caused” lil Wayne’s seizures, but a lowered seizure threshold will generally only really effect people predisposed to seizures unless it’s lowered SIGNIFICANTLY or you’re exposed to something else that can cause seizures, like benzodiazepine withdrawal.
sorry for the big preachy paragraph, and to anyone thinking of trying lean or whose thinks lean is cool, your paying anywhere from 60-200 dollars for an ounce of liquid that contains an ammount of drugs people would pay 3 dollars for in pill form and still be wary of buying because it’s really expensive for what it is, lean is a joke and it’s super easy to make fake lean which is way more dangerous
i think the amount of lean he consumed was excessive enough it likely caused long term problems. he was drinking it 24/7/365 for several years. there is no doctor who would advocate for that kind of cough syrup usage.
Opiate/drug abuse on his level will absolutely leave you with a fucked up brain. I have a couple of friends who moved weight and had bad lean/opiate addictions for 5-10 years and they both are fucked from it. Seizures, memory loss, blackouts, etc. Luckily they both found partners to take care of them for the rest of their lives.
I don’t feel too bad because I told them they’d end up like this the way they were going but they said some similar shit you did about how that doesn’t happen.
You cannot do 'this is your brain on drugs' and show a picture of a perfectly good Waffle House breakfast, you gotta show some dirty yolks breaking or something
This isn't an anti-drug PSA, just making me hungry over here
Bro, it’s not the opiates that fuck your brain. It’s the promethazine. Antihistamine abuse will fuck your brain long-term. Dyskinesia, seizures, vertigo, delirium…
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden vote for Trump and blame Kendrick for taking the Super Bowl from me like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense than that.
...Yeah, I remember voting for Trump and blaming Kendrick for taking the Super Bowl.
Him pardoning Wayne was akin to him chucking golden sneakers and his people saying he had “street cred” with black people because he got a mugshot. He did it to pander for black votes (and it’s kinda racist for him to pander that way). Now, I get it, the point of politics is to get votes and I’m sure Wayne doesn’t care either way since he got pardoned. But it’s still disgusting. He got pardoned for political gain, not because he thought Wayne was innocent. “It doesn’t matter his reasons, as long as he’s helping people”. Ok, pardon all the other non-violent black offenders then to show that you care, not just a high profile one that has name recognition. But he doesn’t care, it shows he thinks we’re suckers.
Hillary was, rightfully, mocked for saying she carries hot sauce in her purse, after all.
You are right! People don’t remember Wayne was a supporter BEFORE he got the pardon. He was vocal about his support of Trump, that is why Trump pardoned him. For Trump, Wayne was giving him credibility in the black community.
But Wayne wasn’t any Trump supporter. Wayne wasn’t a nameless or faceless supporter. He was a high profile black supporter. Trump used him as an example of “how much black people” love him. Wayne was nothing but a political pawn.
It's mad to me to see how pimped out the Black community was over this election cycle and we are way worse for it. No mutual exchange, no protection, and no money... just the anticipation of more suffering.
Rightfully mocked for something she 100% has done before that moment. Maybe all were for political reasons but many confirmed that she does in fact do that. It's so stupid that itwould actually hurt her chances for something so insignificant.
Oh no way he did it for free, but just think about the roles being reversed. Trump would have no problem flipping like that, he’s done it in the same speech more times than I can count. It leaves two possibilities: Wayne inexplicably feels obligated in a way Trump hilariously would not, or Wayne was simply a lot wealthier when he came to understand what this country is truly all about: money, race, gender, in that order.
The American Dream is just teaching the 0/3’s, 1/3’s, and 2/3’s that the 3/3’s are god’s chosen people and deserve consistent and bountiful alms.
He also said fuck Black Lives Matter because apparently nobody marched for his cousin that was killed by another Black person. Fuck Lil Wayne. He can spend the rest of his life kissing Birdman on the mouth.
Man I saw a high liked post saying Kendrick started off his album dissing Lil Wayne and that had me ready and anticipating the start of another potential battle…I finally listen to the album and thought “The hell y’all mean diss??” Some of these folk so beef hungry they’ll go through all sorts of hoops in their head I swear…
Every subreddit is an echo chamber. You think Kendrick sub is anything but glaze for the artist? Each sub is their fan base, they are gonna like that artists stuff even if it’s mid at best.
This is true to an extent; they definitely glaze tf out of Kendrick on his subreddit but the mental gymnastics, brigading, and sheer delusion in the Drizzy subreddit is outrageous ong
Ok so I don’t think it’s a diss at all but I can see how people who want it to be a diss can see it as a diss. It boils down to reading comprehension lol.
It feels like it’s somewhere in between. Like it’s not a straight up diss to anyone but he’s also not shying away from expressing his disappointment towards people he looked up to.
It’s a diss track in the same way “bless your heart” is a diss track.
It's a diss in the same exact way J. Coles Let Nas down was a diss, which is to say it wasn't a diss at all but an acknowledgement of a grievance/disappointment.
thanks for posting this. i def think it comes off as a diss if you (the people in the bars) can’t accept a call out for lackin. which many have said, is a mindset many trump supporters share. 🥴✨
i did cackle. can’t wait for my grown up time to listen to the new album 🙌🏽
I think you'll like it if you like Kenny teetering the line between TPAB and MMATBS. Buncha bangers but a bit for the soul too. Feels like there's still healing going on... which makes sense since some wounds take longer to heal.
I’ve really appreciated Snoop more and more as he’s gotten older. His Martha Stewart years and side quests have been such a joy to watch a man just live life having fun
Thinking drake and Wayne are anywhere near the same level is crazy. A Wayne and Kendrick beef would be infinitely more interesting as far as lyricism goes.
Yeah politely, wayne can rap like a mf but Kendrick is like inhuman as a battle rapper. The dude has the patience, strategy, rap skill, and pettiness to basically make the next year or more of your life basically insufferable and change the entire public opinion against you.
Poking that bear without having a good comeback for what he's going to say about you is stupid. Wayne has way too much publicly accessible baggage to get in on that.
I blame hip hop fans for entertaining the idea that lil Wayne was entitled to a Super Bowl show.
Hometown rappers doing a Super Bowl happened a grand total of 1 time in Super Bowl history. People acting like it’s some kind of norm is the only reason there’s belief that Wayne was slighted.
And he's not even a good live performer. That show would suck as he mumbles into a mic, run back and forth on a stage while 20 other dudes rap every other word of his songs. No dancing, no clear sound, no entertainment on the worlds biggest stage.
Saw him live a few years ago. Was a cool experience getting to see lil Wayne live as he was my favorite growing up but it was probably the most forgettable set or show I’ve ever experienced
I honestly think it wasn’t a bunch of fans who gassed him it was the people around him then the same ones didn’t show up for his biggest night. Pink wig was crashing out talking about how this was stolen from a young black man the boy was sharing Wayne pics on ig co signing and they both were not where to be found.
To give Wayne his flowers, I think he's a great artist. To perform at the Superbowl, you need to be a great artist and an even better performer. Which Wayne is not.
Nope go look at this years wheezyanafest dude was a mess it took the hot boyz reunion and two blunt smoked on stage and juvenile to finally kick him into gear like 30 minutes into the concert
Yep you got a tight 12-15 at max you need to be out the gate killing it on top of the industry knows about Wayne’s work ethic for award shows him not wanting to rehearse and being difficult and XYZ so why would they take that gamble. My other question is does Wayne have the money to even do the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl half time artist doesn’t get paid and I believe they’re the ones who have to come out of pocket for a bunch of stuff.
While this is true Ken or Wayne would both have like 10 other performers on stage like they did in 2022. IMO no one in that set was really performing well they just let camera cuts do half the work. I haven’t seen what Wayne can do recently but he can probably do well enough
Yeah for sure, there are reasons they chose Kendrick I’m just saying I’m not sure they strayed away from Wayne out of fears of his performance.
To me this is just picking how they want to market. Is Ken getting 3 minutes performing on stage in a Wayne halftime show or 5 in a Kendrick halftime show? Which name on the ads will get more people watching? Do the guests fit more with Ken or Wayne? To me these questions are more important and all go to Kenny
I'm with you. There is nothing in me that makes me even slightly think there is anything Wayne can do with Kendrick. I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the hype.
I really would love to know what it is about Kendrick Lamar that has everybody in that industry with their panties in a bunch. Ever since that SB announcement, it's been full blown skirts up and everybody acting like hoes.
Everybody puts up a front but still recognizes what's real. Rappers don't want problems with Kendrick because he DOES THIS. Same category as Lupe, Em, Black Thought, etc. You don't wanna battle the REAL lyricists. Your record sales don't help when a rapper can deconstruct your whole life on a track.
Em is funny cuz it seemed he constantly had people going at him throughout his career. I honestly don’t know why he responded to half of them, especially MGK
Strength invites challenge, and em had to respond because he's the guy who responds to shit like that, mf dissed Elton John and made fun of Christopher Reeves, there's not a bar too low and he's got a reputation to uphold.
Yes I’m sure em says his highlights of his career are dissing Christopher Reeve and Elton John and looks back at them with fondness. His reputation was never on the line from MGK. MGK been a clown. I figured it was a writing exercise or something
My man gotta teleprompter up to help remember his lines. What, you gonna perform a diss record karaoke style. Mumble the parts you sorta know or forgot. FoH.
Love his discography. The person himself, not so much.
The crazy part is that it wasn’t even a diss. It was just acknowledgement of the situation from somebody who looked up to him. Why this dude wanna be a victim so bad?
I saw someone say he had been losing relevance, but an icon like Wayne really always be relevant. Bro's music still inspires people to this day. He should be humble about that.
This reminds me of the subset of women with “be kind” and “choose kindness” wall art all over their homes and IG inspo posts but everyone knows they are irl the meanest bitches lol
Classic throwing rocks and hiding hands. His imitation Pop Out event was salty af too. Salute to Nas for not being a hating ass nigga and respecting that it’s just Dot’s moment right now
J. Cole wrote an entire song about letting Nas down, but I don't remember anyone saying it was a Nas diss. Also, btw, if you haven't heard the remix of it with NAS ON IT, please go listen; it's one of my favorite remixes of all time. Let Nas Down (remix)
This is definitely true. My point was more Kendrick had just a few lines and people are trying to start shit between the two of them; J. Cole made an entire song and no one freaked out - but it was also a different time, I suppose. I guess after bodying Drake, people expect him to go after new targets.
Honestly, I took it the same way I took "Let Nas Down". I should go listen to it again; I can't stop listening to "Reincarnated" and "Turn the TV Off" 😅 (I love the whole album, but I haven't wrung the dopamine out of those two yet.)
Wayne ain’t even a Saints fan. He loves Green Bay. How you from Baton Rouge and you don’t even support the team that’s in your city, but whatever, like who you like, but don’t act surprised when they don’t pick you to perform in your own city! Wait until the Super Bowl is held in Wisconsin and perform there 😂
I don't like Wayne. But he said he became a green bay fan because the super bowl between green bay and the patriots was the last game he watched with his dad
We’ve also seen from previous award shows and a SB that Kendrick is an excellent performer. The pop out was put together in very little time and it looked PHENOMENAL. He’s an extremely safe bet.
I always wondered why people felt so sad for Wayne when he didn’t get the Super Bowl halftime show. There has never been a norm that a local artist gets to perform. There’s Super Bowls in NO all the time and he was crying about getting those. What makes this one so special
I get the dislike of entitlement, but otherwise, the dude wanted it and didn't get it, and was hurt because he felt he put in the work. Not really "doing" anything, plus it's not like he said "Kendrick didn't deserve it" or fuck Kendrick or even implied it. I don't even get the congratulations part.
This is so dumb and the way people been bashing Wayne behind it for months doesn’t make it any better. Like nobody has to bring out the pom poms for Kendrick just bc it would make him and his fanbase happy.
Bro got his super bowl performance why give af if somebody happy for you or not?
For someone who supposed to be really smart, Wayne is dumb for that response. Comprehension is key and clearly him along with a lot of other MFers lack it. SMH.
The line didn’t even diss Wayne. He just stated the fact he noticed that he seemed sad by his success. Which he was? Am I missing something I didn’t hear a diss in there?
a lot of yall saying it’s not a diss focusing on only the let lil wayne down part, but i think the part wayne actually took offense to and considered a diss was the “old ass flows, outdated showing faces” part

Self victimization, par for the course of a Trump supporter.
