Renowned rapper Nicki Minaj recently paid tribute to Lil Wayne, attributing her career success to the influential rapper whom she described as the one who “single-handedly changed” her life.
During a recent concert, Nicki Minaj took the stage and introduced Lil Wayne, sparking wild cheers from the electrified crowd.
In a heartfelt moment, Minaj expressed her gratitude to Wayne, proclaiming him as “the best rapper alive.”
“Make some noise for the man that single-handedly changed my life,” Minaj exclaimed. “I am nobody without you. I don’t give a damn how long I’ve been in this game, I think you are the best rapper alive. Thank you for changing my life.”
In a humble response, Lil Wayne reciprocated the appreciation but modestly diverted the praise back to Minaj.
He acknowledged her immense talent and influence, suggesting that she surpasses him in the realm of rap.
“I would have agreed with her that I am the best rapper alive,” Lil Wayne remarked, “but there is a certain person by the name of Nicki Minaj who is better than me.”
Minaj, who began her musical journey under Lil Wayne’s record label, Young Money, alongside fellow rapper Drake, has since risen to become one of the most successful and influential figures in hip-hop.
