    1. Lil Wayne taunts Birdman (again) during his Mass Appeal set.

    Weezy took the stage as the final headliner for this year's Mass Appeal event at SXSW, where he performed a slew of his long list of hits. Following his performance of "Steady Mobbin'," the New Orleans rapper got some things off of his chest regarding his ongoing legal battle with Cash Money CEO, Birdman. Wayne called his former friend "bulls---- ass Birdman," before expressing his disdain for Birdman's lack of loyalty. "And in all honesty, I know y’all do know I am going through some bulls--- with my muthaf---in’ career and n----s is trying to steal my career without letting me do or say a damn thing. But it’s moments like this that make that bulls---- this big to me, and I appreciate it.”

    It seems like there was a mini-Bad Boy reunion at SXSW this year, as The Lox, Ma$e, and Diddy's son, Christian Combs, who is a spitting image of his father, came together for performances. They also gave a dope tribute for the 20th anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.'s death, and spoke with Revolt about what the late rapper meant to them and their own careers.
