Nicki Minaj had a heartfelt moment with Lil Wayne during a recent livestream, where she gave her longtime mentor his flowers and officially crowned him the "GOAT." The Young Money duo shared the screen as Nicki expressed deep gratitude for the role Wayne played in launching her career.
“I am with the GOAT,” Nicki began. “First of all, this is a very important moment for the Barbz, Wayne. We just want to say thank you to you again. You know I always do this and you be like, ‘Just stop.’ But thank you to Dwayne, yes, Michael [Carter]. [The Barbz] love you. They know that you gave me my start.”
Their reunion comes on the heels of their latest collaboration, "Banned From NO," a gritty, high-energy track featured on Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI album.
Lil Wayne famously signed Nicki to Young Money Entertainment in the late 2000s, helping shape her into one of the most influential and best-selling female rappers in history. From early hits like “BedRock” and “Roger That” to their later collaborations like “Truffle Butter” and “Seeing Green,” their musical bond has stood the test of time.
As the livestream wrapped, fans flooded social media with praise for the moment, celebrating the duo’s enduring legacy. While both artists have evolved in different directions, their continued support for one another is a reminder of the power of loyalty, talent, and true hip-hop mentorship.
