One of Lil Wayne’s sons, considered by many to be one of the greatest rappers of all time, has now appointed another rapper who he considers to be his father’s second coming.
Flophouse Atlanta recently spoke with Tunechi and singer Nivea’s son, Lil Novi (real name Neal). When he was asked who was the greatest rapper of all time, he had an interesting answer prepared.
“I mean, obviously my dad. But for me, I would say [Playboi] Cardi is now Dwayne. Yes, Katie. If you really think so, he’s there. He has reached this level. He’s done crazy numbers.

Lil Novi is actually following in his father’s footsteps and pursuing a music career, but fans are divided on the results so far.
In March, the 14-year-old took to Instagram Live to share a snippet of a new song, while also raising her hands to sing and dance.
Inspired by the likes of Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti and Yeat, the song features distorted high-pitched vocals and a bass-heavy, video game-style beat.
The full lyrics are difficult to decipher, but Neil can be heard mentioning drug use and sex.
Soon after the clip started circulating online, fans took to social media to share their thoughts, but some weren’t impressed.
“Brother didn’t get the right genes,” one critic wrote on Instagram, while another added: “Your dad is one of the best rappers alive and you do this .
Others, however, showed more leniency towards the teen, commenting, “He’ll probably drop a sausage in 10 years” and “No, that’s better than Ken” [Carson] It is actually tuff.
Neil was born in November 2009, while Lil Wayne was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Nivea.
The pair got engaged in the early 2000s, rekindled their relationship a few years later and had their only child together, but eventually split in 2010.
The Young Money boss has three other children, Reginae, 25, and Reginae, 25. Dwayne Carter III, 15; and Cameron, 14.
