Did Lil Wayne finally squash his ongong beef with Cash Money protege, Young Thug?

Several months ago, the "Loaded" emcee released a mixtape entitled Barter 6. Initially, Thugga wished to deem the album Carter 6 in an attempt to shade Weezy. Remember, industry mogul Birdman still refuses to release Wayne's highly-anticipated new album, The Carter V.

Once Barter 6 hit soundwaves, several fans argued that Thug's beats sounded VERY similar to Wayne's original rhymes on 2002's hit record, 500 Degreez. But instead of bashing the 22-year-old Atlanta native during a recent radio interview with New Orleans' Q93, Tunechi actually gave major praise!

"Here's the difference - when we did it, we had no problem saying we don't need no Juvie, this is 500 Degreez."

FYI - rapper Juvenile released the multi-platinum 400 Degreez following his departure from the hip-hop supergroup, Hot Boys (1998). Wayne's so-called "revenge" album "was mainly the label's way of saying they would survive Juvie's departure" (via HotNewHipHop.com).

Anyway, the YMCMB hypeman continued:

"Once [Thug] came out and said 'I'm naming my album such and such because of props, and because I'm such a fan.' That's a totally different approach. I'd have to be some kind of monster to overlook that... I'm not that type of person. My mama ain't raise me [like that]... I'd have to be a monster for me to be like 'I don't believe you'. If he say it's from the heart and he's some kind of fan... I love him, hell, thanks bruh. I appreciate everything about it if he's a fan."

Weezy also discussed the whole 400 vs. 500 Degreez situation:

"The whole team wasn't really behind me with that album... The only thing Baby was really behind about that was that it was 500 Degreez. That it was a rebelling album. We were supposed to be showing that Juvie was gone, and that we were still here. That's what Cash Money tried to sell with that album. The next album it was more - we gave in to whatever Wayne's doing... and that's when 'The Carter' became Tha Carter."

Get ready for it - Wayne and the Hot Boys crew (minus the late B.G.) will finally reunite at Lil Weezyana Fest in August.
