During his Young Money Radio interview with Eminem, Lil Wayne made sure to inquire after the whereabouts the notorious Ken Kaniff.
If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that sometimes things oughta stay dead. Despite that, those very things we fear most always end up coming back in one form or another. Eminem fans thought Ken Kaniff died back on 2013’s Marshall Mathers LP 2 bonus track “Wicked Ways.” Yet during the recent interview between Em and his longtime friend Lil Wayne that took place on Friday night’s Young Money Radio, Ken Kaniff resurfaced alive and well, his voice unchanged — as was his propensity for letting f perverse groans.

In many ways, it’s Wayne himself that’s to blame for the development. “Is Ken Kaniff still alive?” asks Wayne, digging deep for the important questions. After a moment silence, Em fires f one Ken’s signature moans, sending Wayne into a fit hysterical laughter. Before long, Em joins in, clearly amused at Wayne’s appreciation his diabolical creation.
“Ah man, I forgot about Ken!” admits Em. “Where Ken at? I forgot about Ken. I didn’t mean to forget about Ken. I gotta bring him back.” “For real man,” replies Wayne. “Tell that n***a Ken I say what up.”
