Benny The Butcher and Hit-Boy‘s collaborative album Burden of Proof just got a little more exciting thanks to confirmation of a Lil Wayne appearance.
On Tuesday (September 29), the Griselda rapper took to Instagram to preview a new song that features Weezy. Benny’s caption also addressed the fact the song had already leaked, which is possibly why he posted a snippet in the first place.
“You prolly heard Me and Wayne got heat out here #BURDENOFPROOF,” he wrote.
The track leaked as “Live Forever,” but there’s no confirmation on whether that will be the official title. In the 15-second clip, Benny previews the end of Wayne’s verse and part of the chorus.
“I’m higher than everyone but almighty/I treat the white girl like a wifey/Treat her like Aphrodite/Let a goddess satisfy me while I’m rollin’ the tighty/I chop the hands off a clock, that mean I’m timeless, don’t time me/I’m forever,” Wayne raps.
This isn’t the first time Benny and Weezy have collaborated this year. In May, Benny featured on “Russian Roulette,” a song from the deluxe version of Wayne’s Funeral album, alongside fellow Griselda Records rapper Conway The Machine.
Hit-Boy also posted the video confirming he’s on the beat, while proclaiming Wayne is rapping like he was on his 2005 album.
“Benny and wayne on a Hit-Boy beat 2020,” he said. “Wayne on some carter 2 wave #BurdenOfProof next month.”
Burden of Proof is set to be released in October, with Hit-Boy producing every song on the project.
“I did the whole album,” Hit told Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. “I got a couple co-producers, just homies I be cooking beats with. We chopped up some shit live. I did every beat on the album.”
Speaking on its completion last week, he said, “We getting there. I’m finishing the last of the mixes. We was able to bring [Young] Guru in … It’s just different levels, man. We trying to make sure it’s all the way there.”

Wayne is fresh off releasing the deluxe version of 2018’s Tha Carter V on Friday (September 25), with features from 2 Chainz and Raekwon.
Revisit “Russian Roulette” below.
Wayne’s voice has gotten excruciating to listen to over the years
Only when he uses autotune
That’s what makes him so unique tho. I do agree that he could definitely chill on the auto tune just a little bit, sometimes it hurts my ears lol Either way Wayne a goat
Not many people can out rap Wayne when he is locked in on lyrics. This song sounds dope.
no where near Carter 2 Wayne
Nooooo Benny. So disappointing. Not a fan of Wayne. He’s the reason there is so much wack hip hop around.
There are so many better rappers you could have put on. Damn
Benny need to stop buying all that ice and buy some hair implants tf lol out there lookin Lebron the butcher
