Rap legend Lil Wayne has made history with an unprecedented 21-year streak on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His latest feature on Tyler, The Creator's "Sticky" debuted at No. 14 on November 9, extending his remarkable run that began in 2003.
This achievement solidifies Wayne's status as one of hip-hop's most consistent hitmakers, alongside Drake, Kanye West, and Nicki Minaj. However, Wayne's longevity sets him apart, with an impressive 187 Billboard hits throughout his career.
Despite his success, Wayne remains hungry for recognition. He recently expressed disappointment over being snubbed for the 2024 Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, a slot he has long desired, especially with the game taking place in his hometown of New Orleans. Kendrick Lamar was ultimately chosen for the performance, organized by Roc Nation.
Lil Wayne's ability to evolve and stay relevant has been key to his enduring success. He has managed to adapt his sound while remaining true to his artistry, a feat few artists have achieved.
