American rapper Terius Gray, better known as Juvenile, has declared Lil Wayne as “the greatest rapper of all time.” Speaking on ‘The Breakfast Club’ show, Juvenile, 49, reflected on his close observation of Wayne’s career during their time together at Birdman’s Cash Money Records.
“I think [Lil] Wayne is the greatest rapper of all time. I’ve been with him. That’s my dude. I saw the whole process of him. I saw his downtime. I chided him,” Juvenile said. “Just seeing the whole development of Wayne and where he’s at right now, I just feel like he is the greatest rapper of all time.”
Lil Wayne, who founded Young Money Records after departing from Cash Money, played a crucial role in launching the careers of hip-hop stars such as Nicki Minaj and Drake. He is also one of the world’s best-selling music artists, with over 120 million records sold globally.
Wayne’s influence extends across the genre, with rappers like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby, Tyga, Young Thug, Future, Polo G, and Playboi Carti citing him as a major influence on their careers.
