Margot Robbie revealed her pick for the greatest rapper of all time is Lil Wayne
Margot’s Choice: Lil Wayne
While many might have expected her to pick someone like Eminem (given her role as Harley Quinn) or a classic like Biggie, Margot went with Lil Wayne.
-
The Reasoning: Margot cited Weezy’s “unmatched longevity” and his legendary mixtape run as the deciding factors. She reportedly said with clear enthusiasm: “I’m gonna go with Lil Wayne… his impact on the culture runs so deep.”
-
The “Lyrical Legacy”: She specifically highlighted his ability to influence an entire new generation of rappers, proving that her hip-hop knowledge goes far beyond just the radio hits.
The Contrast: Charli XCX Picks Young Thug
The moment went viral because of the contrast between the two stars. In the same interview:
-
Charli XCX went in a different direction, naming Young Thug as her GOAT.
-
The “Internet Meltdown”: Seeing “Barbie” and the “Brat” queen passionately debate the merits of Tha Carter III vs. Barter 6 has become the ultimate “vibe check” for 2026. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) are calling them the “new authorities on hip-hop.”
Why This Fits Margot’s Brand
Margot has a history of being a “secret” fan of heavy and alternative subcultures:
-
The Metalhead Era: She famously told Jimmy Fallon that she went through a “hardcore metal” phase in her teens, listening to Silverstein and Bullet for My Valentine.
-
The 2026 Press Tour: She is currently on a global press tour for her film adaptation of Wuthering Heights (co-starring Jacob Elordi), and this “unscripted” rap debate has helped humanize the high-fashion tour.
The Verdict: Margot Robbie isn’t just a fan of “pop rap”—she values the “lyrical dominance” of the 2000s. Somewhere, Lil Wayne is likely lighting one up in celebration of his newest high-profile endorsement.
