Drake and Lil Wayne have raised eyebrows after it was revealed that they used a teleprompter during a recent performance.<\/p>\n

Drizzy brought out Weezy as a special guest at his show in Sunrise, Florida on Saturday (March 23) as part of his It\u2019s All a Blur \u2014 Big as the What? Tour.<\/p>\n

After the concert, a video made the rounds online of Lil Wayne relying on a teleprompter attached to the stage while performing his \u201cRight Above It\u201d collaboration with Drake.<\/p>\n

The user who shared the clip took issue with the autocue, comparing their performance to \u201ckaraoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a question about this video of Drake and Lil Wayne\u2026 Is it normal that rapp<\/a>ers have teleprompters with their lyrics on it?\u201d they wrote. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen anything like this before. So it\u2019s karaoke then?\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the current debate surrounding the quality of performances from rap acts, Wayne fans were quick to jump to his defense and point out the sheer number of songs and verses he\u2019s written in his lengthy career.<\/p>\n

\u201cLil Wayne has 3,051 songs on Genius. He has a song entitled 10,000 bars which has 7k words. If Weezy needs a teleprompter that\u2019s ok,\u201d the account Hip Hop By The Numbers argued<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another user said<\/a>: \u201cA rapper like Wayne to have a LONG impressive discography in that case should be normalized to have a teleprompter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lil Wayne himself has spoken about the challenge of remembering his lyrics. Back in 2020, he hosted Eminem on his Young Money Radio<\/em> show where they admitted they both research their own rhymes in order to avoid repeating lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first start out, it\u2019s a blank canvas,\u201d Em said. \u201cWe start painting on that canvas until that shit\u2019s full. But when you\u2019ve made so many song about everything, it gets a little tricky. The trick is to do the next one and keeping it going, do the next one with a little twist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wayne added: \u201cIf you look in my phone history, with Google history, and you press the letter L, it comes up \u2018Lil Wayne Lyrics.\u2019 I literally have to Google my own lyrics to make sure I didn\u2019t say certain stuff before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Em replied: \u201cOh my God! I swear to God I do that too! I just did that shit last night. Man, that\u2019s funny as hell. I been doing that for the past five years! You be like, \u2018Oh, I knew I flipped this before.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s crazy because when you\u2019re really into the craft you gotta come up with a new pocket, a new cadence, melodies. You can\u2019t do the same flows, none of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

That approach was on full display in 2022 when Lil Wayne was caught Googling the lyrics to his song \u201cShooter\u201d while dueting with Robin Thicke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
