The rapper will perform the single at the VMAs

Lil Wayne serves up his new single entitled “Kat Food” via Young Money Records/Republic Records. The track’s ominous production underlines Wayne’s instantly recognizable delivery. He tears through the beat, dropping one quotable lyric after another, skills that have catapulted him to global stardom.

Next, Wayne will perform at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards after receiving a nomination for Best Hip-Hop for “Kant Nobody” featuring Swizz Beatz and DMX. Wayne will receive the BMI Icon Award at the 2023 R&B/Hip-Hop Awards on September 6th. Meanwhile, he notably graced the cover of Billboard in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary and was inducted into the Billboard Hip-Hop Hall of Fame.

The announcement comes in the midst of Lil Wayne’s critically acclaimed, sold out Welcome to Tha Carter Tour. Wayne kicked off 2023 by receiving the prestigious Global Impact Award at The Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective Pre-Grammy event. He released the hard-hitting track “Kant Nobody” featuring DMX, produced by Swizz Beatz, as well as delivered explosive verses on Swizz’s Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2 with the track “This Sh*t Right Here.”
