In a recent interview with Flophouse Atlanta., Lil Wayne’s son, Lil Novi, stirred up a lively debate by naming Playboi Carti as the greatest rapper of this generation.
The 15-year-old, who is often referred to as his father’s clone due to their striking resemblance, did not shy away from expressing his admiration for Carti, even while maintaining that his father, Lil Wayne, is the greatest rapper of all time.
“Obviously, my dad,” Lil Novi stated confidently when asked who he thought was the greatest rapper ever. However, he quickly followed up with high praise for Playboi Carti. “But for me, I’d say like because Carti is like the Wayne now. So yeah, Carti.”
Lil Novi’s bold comparison didn’t go unnoticed, prompting the host to question his choice. Undeterred, Novi defended his stance, saying. “If you really like think, he’s there. He’s reached that level. He’s done crazy numbers.”
Despite the host’s skepticism, Lil Novi elaborated on Carti’s achievements, citing his popularity and commercial success as indicators of his status in the rap industry. He emphasized Carti’s impact as a touring attraction and his ability to draw massive audiences.

Another user speculated, “I can almost guarantee he doesn’t listen to his dad. He doesn’t share the same hype we have, he just knows his dad is a titan in the industry.”
