Lil Wayne leaves little doubt who he thinks is the boss between him and Young Money protégé Drake.

Appearing on an episode of ESPN's "Be Honest" podcast with Cari Champion, B.E.T. reports the Young Money founder playfully assured the host if it ever came down to it he would annihilate the Canadian rapper he helped make famous.

As the story goes, it was Wayne who took Drake under his wing and gave him his big chance after he was "shunned by a lot of people." Wayne's winning formula proved to be convincing Drake to remain exactly who he is when at the microphone.

"I was the one to tell him: 'Don't change anything,'" Wayne added. "Don't think 'cuz you coming over here by me you gotta start rapping about the things I rap about, don't do none of that. Please rap about your little TV show, whatever you wanna rap about. Rap about girls ... that's what you're good at.'"

Superstar or not, Wayne still thinks it's important that Drake remember to stay in his lane and never, ever seek to take him on.

"Man, I annihilate that guy," he told Champion.

As for the release of his long anticipated "Tha Carter V," Wayne added he's hard at work on polishing up a finished product. The News Orleans rapper could now have even more free time on his hands given his recent breakup with girlfriend Christina Milian.

Several media outlets have reported the two have split not long after Milian told reporters Wayne was the inspiration for her hit single "Rebel."

"For me, I'm so inspired by the relationship that I'm in that it's definitely an experience," she said back then. "It's that careless, hopeless, romantic love -- that feeling of 'I will do anything for you' and it's just incredible and so yea, 'rebel for you' means 'I'm all about you.'"
