Enter Pitbull. The Miami rapper dropped “Welcome to Dade County,” a freestyle over Baauer’s “Harlem Shake,” to throw some punches at Wayne and his tirade against the Miami Heat.
Though Pitbull name-dropped Cash Money co-CEOs Birdman and Slim but never mentioned Weezy, the rap was obviously aimed at the YMCMB boss. Mr. 305 spits:
“You got money, yeah yeah, that’s sweet
But we all know Slim and Baby really eat
You talk Miami if you talking Heat
Moral of the story, don’t sh*t where you eat.”
After making disparaging remarks about the Miami Heat, Tunechi apologized to the city and clarified that he has nothing against the citizens of South Beach. He explained:
“Ever since I got here, there were billboards and signs saying, ‘Lil Wayne, Go Back Home,’ you know what I mean? And I didn’t do anything. This is Miami, I can’t move. I got the best skate weather, ever, down here…
The main thing I really want to get out there is that I do apologize for the misunderstanding to the city of Miami. I love everyone here, it’s just I’m passionate about sports and I felt very disrespected, that’s all. I felt very, very disrespected.”
