In a recent episode of the Nation of Podcasting, hip-hop icon Juvenile shed light on the absence of Lil Wayne during the much-anticipated Verzuz battle between No Limit and Cash Money. The event, which featured legendary figures such as Master P and Birdman sharing the stage, marked a significant moment in hip-hop history, as fans witnessed the two rival collectives unite for a live performance.
Juvenile reflected on the overall experience of the Verzuz battle, expressing his belief that the event should be revisited. He emphasized that the absence of Lil Wayne—who had reportedly been unwell—was a major disappointment for fans and the performance itself. “When Lil Wayne didn’t show up, that’s what killed Cash Money,” Juvenile stated, highlighting the impact of Wayne’s absence on the event’s energy and reception.
The performance from No Limit was particularly strong, with Snoop Dogg joining the lineup and delivering his verse on “Down for My Ends.” Juvenile noted that the No Limit artists showcased a solid performance, with standout contributions from Master P, Mia X, and Silk the Shocker, among others. Despite expectations leaning towards Cash Money, the collective’s energy was not enough to outshine No Limit’s well-prepared act.
Juvenile also addressed the potential for a rematch, suggesting that if another Verzuz were to take place, it would be ideal to host it in New Orleans, the hometown of both collectives. He called for the inclusion of all artists, including Turk, who also missed the event. “Let’s put any issues aside for one night and do it right,” he urged, emphasizing the need for unity among the artists.
While discussions of a Cash Money and No Limit tour have surfaced, Juvenile expressed skepticism about its feasibility. He pointed out the financial complexities that could arise from managing such a large ensemble of artists, each with their demands.
As fans continue to react to the Verzuz battle, Juvenile’s insights have sparked conversations around the potential for future collaborations and events within the hip-hop community. The anticipation for another showdown remains high, with many eager to see how both collectives can come together once more to celebrate their legacy.
