People have claimed to be “Michael Jordan” for decades. It was easy to say you were the best. After years of Jordan-Lebron basketball GOAT dispute, the phrase may be changing. Lil Wayne adopted a different approach to explaining why he was the GOAT of rap music in a recent interview.

“I would say that I’m like Lebron,” Wayne says in the interview. He compares them to early phenoms who started young and have kept up. Fans seem to support him in interview repost comments.

I’m not mаd. “He should sаy that,” reads a top comment. “I see no lies told,” “Wayne is the greatest lyricist,” and others agree. View his complete interview statement below.

Lil Wayne often writes about basketball players. He’s also not shy about discussing NBA news. He discussed league issues on Undisputed over the weekend. Fans were interested in his two statements. First, he named Ja Morant, a troubled young superstar, the league’s future face.

His other inflammatory comment was regarding Draymond Green. After his third expulsion of the season, the Warriors guard was suspended indefinitely.

Wayne asked supporters to stop asking for someone to help Green with his rage issues. He asked folks who don’t know the complete situation not to say he needs help. Your thoughts on Lil Wayne comparing himself to LeBron James? Is he rap’s LeBron? Leave a comment below.
