Yesterday (November 22), Lamar surprise released the record, his first full-length release since 2022’s ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’. ‘GNX’ features production from Jack Antonoff, Kamasi Washington, Mustard, Terrace Martin and Sounwave and also includes uncredited guest vocals from SZA.

The album’s opening track is ‘Wacced Out Murals’, on which Lamar raps, “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down”.

Referencing Wayne’s classic 2008 album, Lamar would seem to be referring to the fact that he was chosen to headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show ahead of Wayne.

“Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me / All these n***** agitated, I’m just glad they showin’ they faces,” Lamar continues on the track.

Now, Wayne has had his say on the callout, writing on X on Saturday (November 23): “Man wtf I do?!”

Man wtf I do?!

“I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”

Shortly after Lamar was selected for the 2025 Super Bowl, which is being held in Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans, the ‘A Milli’ rapper let his feelings be known.

“That hurt. Hurt a lot, you know what I’m talking about, hurt a whole lot,” he sain in an Instagram post. “I blamed myself for not being mentally prepared for a let down which is automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blamed myself for that.”

“But I thought that was nothing better than that spot on that stage on that platform in my city. So it hurt. It hurt a whole lot. But Y’all are fucking amazing. It made me feel like shit not getting this opportunity and when I felt like shit, you guys reminded me that I ain’t shit without y’all and that’s an amazing reality. So, like I said, it broke me and I’m just trying to put me back together. but my god, where ever you are help me.”

‘Wacced Out Murals’ also includes a reference to Snoop Dogg, with Lamar rapping, “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles/I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go.”

The lyrics reference Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’, one entry in the two MCs’ epic back-and-forth diss track feud earlier this year, which included an AI version of Snoop’s voice. Drake eventually removed the song from his social media and other streaming platforms after Tupac’s estate threatened to sue him.

Snoop has reacted to Lamar’s mention of him, taking to X to say: “K dot new album GNX,” followed by a series of fire emojis. “It was the edibles west west king.”

Father John Misty has also reacted to the release of ‘GNX’, noting that yet again Kendrick has released an album in the same year as he has. In this case, Misty’s ‘Mahashmashana‘ was released on the same day, and now the singer-songwriter has shared his own diss track targeted at Lamar, in the form of ‘God’s Trash’.
