Lil Wayne‘s daughter Reginae Carter has spoken out in defense of her father’s legacy amid online comparisons between him and younger artists.
On Tuesday (January 3), MyMixtapes tweeted the question: “Who goes harder Prime Lil Wayne or Current Lil Baby?” The tweet had been seen over 700,000 times by Saturday (January 7), and had been reposted close to 1,000 times.
The question was also shared by other users across social media platforms who didn’t attribute it to any particular source. On Friday (January 6), Reginae jumped into the conversation to defend her father’s place in Hip Hop; but did so without saying anything negative about Lil Baby or even mentioning his name.
“‘KEEP MY FATHERS NAME OUT YA MOUTH’ [crying laughing emojis],” she wrote jokingly at first. “Nah fr y’all need to stop comparing my dad to the new kids on the block .. gotta stop ! Everybody is super talented and dope ! Let them have their run and time will tell .. but leave that marathon Wayne ran out of it …”
Weezy’s discography includes 14 albums released between 1999 and 2020; six of which have earned multi-platinum certifications from the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) and another three that were certified platinum.
During that same timespan, Wayne also released five EPs and 29 mixtapes, while appearing as a guest on hit singles alongside the Clipse, Drake, JAY-Z, Kanye West, DJ Khaled, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Destiny’s Child, Chris Brown and Shakira, to name a few, in addition to releases with his fellow Cash Money artists and other Young Money signees.
All in all, Lil Wayne’s singles discography comprises close to 3,000 individual titles. The volume and quality of his output has landed the New Orleans native on multiple Hip Hop superlatives lists over the years.
Thus far in his career, he has earned a total of 143 awards, including four Grammy Awards, four Billboard Awards and eight BMI Awards, with back-to-back Urban Songwriter of the Year wins in 2009 and 2010.
While some might argue it’s unfair to evaluate Lil Baby’s success in comparison Weezy F. Baby less than five years on from the release of his debut mixtape Perfect Timing, he appears to be well on his way to a stellar career and discography of his own; especially after a banner year in 2022.
In October, the Atlanta native became the youngest artist to ever notch 25 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, with all 23 tracks from his latest album It’s Only Me appearing on the chart during the project’s first week of release.
Lil Baby also became just the third artist to ever achieve such a feat following Drake, whose 27-track double album Scorpion charted in its entirety back in 2018.
Drake and Lil Baby closed out the year in a tie for the most Billboard Hot 100 placements of 2022, thanks to record breaking releases by both artists.
Chart Data reported that the frequent collaborators each nabbed 40 Hot 100 singles this year, including their joint effort as part of DJ Khaled‘s “STAYING ALIVE,” which peaked at the No. 5 in August. The song has also landed on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs year-end chart.
She a snake. She dipped on her mans as soon as he got locked up. Untrustworthy.
May be she just not loyal..that doesn’t sound like snake behavior..and they was not married were they?ok so why did she have to stay they had no real vows before God
You mean her man who cheated on her and barely wanted to claim her? Lol now she gotta prove her trust worthiness to mfs like you? Lol I wouldn’t stick besides anyone doing a bid unless they was taking that bid for me or they was my actual wife.
Y’all always want blk women to be ride or die with a Tyrone lol
If you gonna go to jail then you gonna leave your girl. Remember that. It ain’t her who left. I’m sick of yall weak ass dudes blaming women for not sticking out YOUR bid.
Don’t leave the nest and you won’t have to worry about someone else moving in.
Ryders on the sight we will. Popin among thieves the street artist recommend varies among sleeves bitch we steady mobbin Wayne 500 hundred degrezz and the base keeps poppin. In the kitchen nigga we up like skins on knees. Any thot hoe be rockin talk about rappers in late emergency’s. Hah and this is the bomb get mess up but shit on president boss of hip hop boy that’s when the metal drop. Put my own name out low that’s a classic bastard stop toppin them hoes in a rush niggas gonnah do what they do including a view. And that’s final like my young niggas final warnin
I dont think anybody is fuckin with Wayne’s run forreal. Dude was on literally everyones feature and killed each one. Stole everyone’s beats and slaughtered those. Dropped several Classic albums. Wayne had hip hop on his back when shit was pure dance song gimmicks
The only classic Wayne has is The Block is Hot! Everything else is trash, manufactured, and personified by hype, as well as a talentless pool…
T.I was the last great in hiphop. Wayne’s run – aided in the fall from grace.
Man shut yo ho azz up. You sound dumb af! Wayne is a legend.
Lil’ Baby is trash and nothing special. Just a bunch of promotion for a mediocre rapper.
Nobody checking for Lil Baby outside of Atl, just like Future wasn’t big across the country like them niggas thought either
> 🐮💩
Ain’t nobody fuckin wit Wayne back then…speaking for now…put him on a feature and watch him kill that too. Some shit shouldn’t be compared. To me it feels like these writers try and make the artists have beef behind their wack ass opinions and dumb ass topics for discussion. Most writers and publishers have high levels of education and achievements on their resume but look at the shit they write about. Wtf is really going on
Why do we care what she has to say… This site is the Hip Hop TMZ.
They sold it to yt ppl and it went downhill from there..
Lil Wayne has won 5 Grammy awards not 4
Okay mr sensitive excuse the author for not giving a shit. I can’t even lie man, I never understood a word that came out his mouth, so yeah, your boy is trash to millions of people…
I hate blackie
Go make egg, foo, young
Haha
