People forget this now, but back in 2015 there was a brief moment where Chief Keef and Lil Wayne had a little tension online. Around that time, we had just released Lil Wayne’s Sorry 4 The Wait 2 mixtape. As Wayne had always done throughout his career, the project was full of freestyles over some of the hottest records out at the moment, many of them coming from the new generation of artists. That’s what sparked Keef’s comments about “older rappers remixing this generation’s music,” which fans quickly connected to Wayne. At the same time, Keef was in the middle of promoting Bang 3 and was planning to drop a mixtape with us the following week. Only problem was, he didn’t have a title yet. I was in a hotel in Midtown Manhattan when I got a call from Keef and his manager Brandon at 3am to talk it through. Half joking, I threw out the idea: “Why not call it Sorry 4 The Weight?” a playful flip on Wayne’s Sorry 4 The Wait 2, which had just dropped a month earlier while the two were going back and forth online. What started as a joke immediately turned serious. Keef loved it and decided to run with the name. Thankfully, the tension between them was short-lived. No diss records, no real back-and-forth, just two artists dropping fun mixtapes that helped kick off 2015. Funny enough, most people barely remember they even had a moment of friction at all now. #lilwayne #ChiefKeef #Sorry4TheWait #Sorry4TheWeight
