Lil Wayne couldn’t hide his excitement when he learned Lizzo crowned him her GOAT! During an Instagram Live session with Nicki Minaj on June 20, 2025, the hip-hop legend shared a heartwarming story about meeting Lizzo and her bold admiration for him. The moment, filled with Libra love and mutual respect, lit up social media as fans celebrated the cross-generational connection.
In the live chat, Wayne recounted running into Lizzo at a game, though he didn’t specify which one. He admitted he needed confirmation from Cam to make sure it was her.
“I was like, ‘Cam, that’s Lizzo?’”
Wayne said, laughing. Lizzo didn’t hold back, telling him that he’s her Greatest of All Time.
“She was making sure I didn’t feel like, ‘You my GOAT,’”
Wayne added, clearly flattered by her energy.
Nicki Minaj, who was vibing with Wayne during the live, chimed in with a quick “Oh” and later shouted out the “Libra gang,” since she and Wayne share the zodiac sign with Lizzo. Some fans noticed Nicki’s brief response and speculated about her tone, but the moment stayed lighthearted. Wayne doubled down, giving Lizzo another shout-out and proudly owning his Libra roots. “Libra gang!” he declared.
The exchange sparked a wave of reactions online. Fans praised Wayne’s humility and Lizzo’s genuine admiration, calling the interaction a wholesome highlight of the live event. Others celebrated Wayne and Nicki as hip-hop royalty, cementing their status as icons who inspire artists like Lizzo. The New Orleans rapper, recognized for mentoring Nicki through Young Money Entertainment, continues to influence new generations, and Lizzo’s GOAT nod shows this.
This isn’t the first time Lizzo has expressed love for hip-hop’s heavyweights. The “Truth Hurts” star, born April 27, 1988, has always spoken openly about her roots in the genre.
Meanwhile, Wayne, born September 27, 1982, remains a cultural force, with his innovative style shaping artists over decades. Their shared Libra bond added charm to the moment, creating a perfect mix of respect and camaraderie.
