The Verzuz rap battle featured Cash Money Records and No Limit records.
WASHINGTON — Rapper B.G. revealed the reason why Lil Wayne was absent at the Cash Money Records vs. No Limit Records Verzuz battle last week.
In a recent interview with “The Breakfast Club,” B.G. shared that Wayne canceled his appearance at the Las Vegas event on Oct. 25 because the “A Milli” rapper was not feeling well and had to go to the hospital.
“The morning before the Verzuz and um, you know, shorty wasn’t feeling good, man.,” B.G. said on Friday. “So you know, because he had a concert at Drai’s the same night, and he canceled that as well.
The Verzuz rap battle between the two hip-hop labels was set to feature Wayne, Juvenile, and other members of the New Orleans group, The Hot Boys.
“Shorty wasn’t feeling good because he was definitely supposed to be there, you know,” He had to go to the hospital or something like that.”
“I told him, man, we ain’t spring chickens no more, man,” he added. “You got to make sure, man, you’re healthy…get your rest, man. You’ve been running 30, 35 years strong. He was dealing with some personal issues.”
The Hot Boys rapper also explained that Swizz Beatz was “even hurt” by Wayne’s cancellation because he played a huge part in securing the event.
“That’s the reason Swizz even pulled the trigger on it in the first place,” B.G. said.
