Lil Wayne shared a cryptic post on Sunday, July 12, prompting social media users to mention Jay-Z. The Roc Nation co-founder ended his three-day run in New York City on Sunday as he celebrated the 30th anniversary of his debut album, ‘Reasonable Doubt.’ Jay-Z surprised the audience by bringing out several other artists to perform at Yankee Stadium. Now, fans are wondering whether the ‘Annihilate’ artist is upset he didn’t get an invite from Jigga.
Amid the online chatter about Jay-Z’s concerts packed with celebrities, Lil Wayne shared a post on X. As of Monday, it had one million views. It’s unclear what it means, but the timing has folks intrigued as they wondered who Lil Wayne was talking about. The post was shared at 6:04 a.m., just a few hours after Jay-Z’s last show in New York ended due to a delay.
The post read, “Whats understood aint gotta be explained. I get it. U got it. Thought we had it. Thats what I get for thinking.”
Two weeks before Jay-Z’s shows in New York, Lil Wayne missed one of his own concerts. According to the Bangor Daily News, the rapper missed his own concert in Bangor, Maine on June 30. He took to his Instagram Stories on July 5 to explain his absence, per Billboard.
I have epilepsy,” said the artist. “I have seizures, right? Thank God I havent had a seizure in years, but seizures have triggers. A trigger to my seizures is bad migraines. I had a f*cking migraine that night. It was recommended I dont get in the air.
During the final night of shows on Sunday, Jay-Z brought out several famous artists to perform, but Lil Wayne wasn’t one of them. Rihanna, Beyonce, Young Jeezy, Teyana Taylor and Usher each performed, and clips of the performances began popping up online.
Lil Wayne and Jay-Z have a long-time relationship. The ‘Lollipop’ artist is a partner in Jay-Z’s music streaming service, TIDAL. The duo has also collaborated on several tracks, and fans think Lil Wayne may have expected an invite to the New York shows.
After the post was shared on TSR‘s Instagram page, roomies speculated about the post’s meaning. Several folks wondered if the recording artist was upset that he wasn’t invited to perform, and his missed concert in June was also referenced.
