Twitter Goes Bonkers After Tyga Calls Himself The ‘Lightskin Lil’ Wayne’ in Tribute Song

Tyga dropped the video for his new song, “Lightskin Lil Wayne” and Twitter went bananas with the jokes. The video is a mash-ups of re-interpreted visuals from old Weezy videos. Tyga meant this song as a tribute to who he considers “The GOAT,” Cash Money’s most successful artist.

But Twitter on a whole did not think that this was such a good idea. Check out the responses:

folks still fail to realize that without Weezy there wouldn’t be no Drake, Tyga, Nicki, Thug, Uzi & the list can go on forever. Weezy was way ahead of his time. one of the first rappers to combine the genre with rock. Tyga did this to show his respect for the imo. https://t.co/xQYyI7r67l
