Lil Wayne and Young Money Entertainment has brought Hip-Hop to some of the biggest acts and runs in history. Lil Wayne himself was on the label, Drake is one of the GOATs, and there were runs like Tyga that some artists wish they had.

Speaking on Complex’s GOAT Talk series, Lil Wayne revealed Nicki’s status as the YM goat. “GOAT Young Money artist? Nicki Minaj,” Wayne said.
Appearing on the show with Lil Wayne was 2 Chainz, who agreed, “I would say Nicki too.”
