<p><a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> and Beyoncé are some of the greatest music-selling artists in the industry in this era. The two made a name for themselves with their unique talents, winning millions of hearts. The Atalanta-based rapper has won 24 Grammy Awards during his illustrious career while the Queen Bey of Hollywood took home 32 of them. Both of them have become pop culture phenomena in the past decades, though the father of four has not made new music recently.</p>
<p>The duo has given much to the music industry; even other composers cannot deny their creative genius. Remember how Lil Wayne praised their contribution to the world of hip-hop, counting them among the special artists?</p>
<h2><strong>Lil Wayne listed Kanye West and Beyoncé among the best talents</strong></h2>
<p>In December 2014, <a href="http://www.nylonguysmag.com/lil-wayne-cover/#more-23945">Lil Wayne graced the cover of Nylon Magazine</a>. For the same, he spoke with the outlet about his upcoming album, rapping, and much more. The Grammy winner stated he is one of <em>&#8220;the last of a dying breed&#8221;</em> in the music world. He recalled the time when the world was not influenced by the trends of the internet. It was a time when people like him used to rap just to be the best version of themselves and not for some Instagram likes and Twitter posts.</p>

<p>According to him, the artist needs to do something special to be unforgettable. The only people who matched that level for him were Kanye West and Beyoncé because they did not let the world forget them after some albums. Instead, they have continued to maintain their legacy over the years. West&#8217;s impending song is a testament to that. Lately, the insiders have been whispering that<a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-is-kanye-west-going-to-release-a-new-album/"> the fashion mogul will soon make a splashing comeback</a> with a new song.</p>

<p>Years have passed, but the opinion of the New Orleans native about Ye has remained the same. It is indeed lovely to see how much he respects and adores his friend and collaborator, no matter what the world says.</p>
<h2><strong>Lil Wayne gushed over Ye </strong></h2>
<p>In June 2023, the 40-year-old appeared on the podcast named All The Smoke. The rapper took this chance to talk about Kanye West, who has been staying away from the public eye. He made it clear to the world that he still thinks highly of the former billionaire, even though controversies have surrounded him. <em>“He’s a genius… What I mean by that is he can stop being Kanye West at any time and start being Kanye East,&#8221;</em> said Wayne.</p>

<p>For, all that matters to Wayne is West&#8217;s talent because he believes when it comes to music, this man can be the best version of himself. He showed true confidence in the musician that he could ace every single path he chose in life.</p>
