Unless I’m missing something Lil Wayne appears to now officially be the first prominent rapper to take a shot at Frank Ocean’s sexuality in a song.
It seems that Lil Wayne is asking for controversy. In a remix of Future’s song “Turn on the Lights”, the rap mogul gives a shout-out to Frank Ocean who recently came out as bisexual. “Tell her I is gay/ I ain’t got now worries, no Frank Ocean, nah I’m straight,” he spits.
UPROXX reached out to Lil Wayne for clarification on the perceived diss but he was too busy genuflecting before oil paintings of Lebron James and Brett Favre to get back to us.
Meanwhile, let’s never forget the time Lil Wayne wore these pants on national television…

Seriously. THE WORST.
Even the rap critics I know only defend him for Tha Carter III. Everyone agrees his early records and everything since TC3 is somewhere between uneven and unlistenable. What’s frustrating is that rappers like Lil’ Wayne draw praise for clever wordplay over decent songwriting, lyrical cohesiveness, or even flow, but other rappers like Childish Gambino who are basically the same only, you know, less awful at everything get shit on all the time by the rap blog elite.
I’m not saying Gambino is great shakes (his R&B material is dreadful), but if you’re gonna single out someone for coming up with some occasionally mind-blowing lyrical puns, at least praise someone who isn’t a total asshat.
I swear to God I had no idea that “rap blog elite” was a thing. Man I’m old.
They’re like the Illuminati, if the Illuminati wore BAPE.
The Smoking Section is rap blog elite.
Say what, now?
You actually found someone that thinks The Carter 3 is good? I think you may have mistaken the third for the first two.
Is that a shot? With how crappy is lyrics are, I can’t really tell.
Crazy black rapper from the ghetto doesn’t like fags?
ALERT THE PRESS!
It looks more like “Here’s an cool new way to say ‘no homo.’” than “Hey, Frank Ocean’s totally gay and now I must poke fun at him.” Or maybe someone asked him about his leopard print leggings from last year’s VMAs. Whatever, I just think dude would outright say “Fuck teh gay.” than make some half ass comment
maybe he is referencing to Frank Ocean’s lyric on ‘Oldie’
‘I’m hi and I’m bye, wait I mean I’m straight’
I mean, I could be wrong. Wayne’s lyrics aren’t as introspective so…
yeah, Wayne’s not really one to diss an up and coming talent. He’ll probably be on a track with FO within the month.
I thought Lil Wayne was gay. Because Lil.
Last time i saw this bitch he was wearing Leggins, and i think it was some pink ones.

Nowhere near a diss. Please learn that rappers say way worse stuff than that… That is just mentioning his name or making an idiotic comparison.. But diss it is not.. Media outlet grasping for attention? definitely
+1
this isnt really a shot,its just a weak metaphor attempt for saying no homo like someone above me said…i think lil wayne is at least smart enough to not say something perceivably homophobic…gullibles travels going on in here.
that is one hilarious photo of him.
Elton John wouldn’t even don that outfit that Wayne is wearing above.
Hasnt Wayne said in the past he writes nothing down and just spits? Thats why hes mostly moronic. Your bound to strike some lyrical gold eventually after saying every stupid thing you can think to put together. Tha Carter 3 and thats it.
Diss? Is that a diss? He’s not using coherent language.
i love how there isnt a single male in that crowd
