Lil Wayne has responded to Rick Ross‘ message of support ahead of the release of “Idols Become Rivals,” a Birdman diss track from Ross’ new album Rather You Than Me. After the track surfaced Thursday through its international release, Ross told Wayne on Instagram “the streets need you” and said that “being a boss” meant having the courage to say what others are “scared” to say:

Rather You Than Me hits the U.S. this Friday.
