Lil Wayne Says He Can Outperform AI, Sets 'Tha Carter' 20th Anniversary Tour

He frames artificial intelligence as a challenge rather than a replacement.

Overview

  • Lil Wayne told the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast that he is not worried about AI in music, saying, “I’m still better.”
  • He said he tested AI by asking for verses in his style and found the results lacking, summarizing them as “They all sucked.”
  • He advised people concerned about job losses to AI to focus on excelling at their work instead of fearing the technology.
  • He acknowledged practical uses for AI such as voice recreation, citing Beanie Sigel’s example as a helpful application.
  • He announced a Tha Carter 20th Anniversary tour starting in late June in Bangor, Maine, with 2 Chainz on most dates, The Game on select stops, and planned visits to cities including Chicago, Long Beach, Denver, Fort Worth, and a finale in Knoxville in October.
