Jay-Z wasn't taking a swipe at Lil' Wayne at all. It was actually a compliment.
He was rapping about how great the beat to "D.O.A." and said "I might send this to the mixtape Weezy" since Lil' Wayne is well known for remaking popular hip-hop tracks on his mixtapes.
I think the line is sometimes changed to "Drake and Weezy" because Drake is on Lil' Wayne's "Young Money" record label and has somewhat taken over Lil' Wayne's spot as the current mixtape king.
