Quincy Jones Comes For Lil Wayne

In case you missed it, the legendary Quincy Jones threw massive shade at Young Money rapper Lil Wayne during an interview with The National.

Jones received a certificate of appreciation on Saturday ahead of officially receiving the Abu Dhabi Festival Award at the annual event in Abu Dhabi and did some press while overseas where he slammed Lil Wayne, saying:

“Let’s get real, man. When you come from the era of Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson, it gets hard to get used to Lil Wayne. I just can’t handle it. There are some good singers out there. Mary J Blige can sing, so can Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. I know who they are. I also know who they aren’t, too.

We’re surprised Quincy Jones even knows who Lil Wayne is…
