Sources indicate that Wayne’s beef with Kendrick runs deeper than mere rivalry; it is intertwined with his legacy and the longstanding grudge he holds against Jay-Z. Back in 2006, Wayne chose to renew his deal with Cash Money over signing with Def Jam, where Jay-Z was at the helm. This decision sparked a feud that has seen both rappers trading sharp lyrics for years. Jay-Z’s recent praise for Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance has reignited Wayne’s frustrations, leading to whispers about the possibility of a lyrical retaliation.
