Juelz Santana also offered his thoughts on the matter. “A! I just arrived 2 the set. Just did a MTV News interview wit Shaheem about Lil Wayne. That’s some BULL SHIT!!!!,” wrote Santana, a frequent collaborator of Wayne‘s.
Finally, Miami rapper Rick Ross also weighed in, but provided a positive outlook on the subject. “It hurt us,” said Rick Ross to MTV News. “We strategize and work towards this for so long, [and] when something like that, a major inconvenience such as that, nine people out of 10, that stint could hurt them. But I think Wayne has a unique situation with his Cash Money family and now his Young Money roster, I know they got a lot of things poppin’. Wayne‘s got enough music. He’s one of the few artists I feel could eat those 10 months up, or that year, and then come home to rap royalty. If anybody is gonna be able to do it, it’s gonna be Wayne.“
