Last week, Lil Wayne surprised everyone when he said Lil Baby is his favorite rapper.

In the past, Wayne has had trouble acknowledging any rapper that has come up in the last five years even exists.

Now he has expanded on why he is such a fan of Lil Baby.

“I was in a session with him before. He heard a beat come on out of the blue that I was working on," Wayne said on Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson's podcast.  "It was an uptempo beat. It was probably a feature for somebody. Baby was like ‘I couldn’t even begin to rap on no sh*t like that.’ After that session, I done heard two or three songs like that come out that he done did. I was like, ‘See, he went right back and figured it out.'”

Lil Baby has referred to Lil Wayne as the GOAT so the feeling is mutual.

Do you agree that Baby is one of the best?
