Lil Wayne’s perfectly fine with Kendrick Lamar performing at 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The rapper has nothing but support for Lamar as he prepares for his Super Bowl LIX halftime show performance.
“I’ve spoken to him, and I wish him all the best and I told him he better kill it,” Lil Wayne, 42, said during The Skip Bayless Show on Monday, December 16.
Wayne reacted to Lamar’s lyrics on Wacced Out Murals from his recent GNX album, “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud. Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.”
Hearing the lyrics for the first time, Wayne clarified there were no hard feelings.
“I think he’s a fan like I’m a fan of his music. … He didn’t let me down. It ain’t like he can control it,” Wayne said, referencing Lamar landing the coveted Super Bowl gig.
Lamar is set to headline the halftime show in New Orleans next year, Wayne’s hometown.
Wayne previously expressed disappointment about not being chosen, sharing in a heartfelt Instagram video, “It hurt a whole lot. … I thought there was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city.”
On Monday, Wayne said the snub has motivated him.
“I straight look at it like, ‘You ain’t there, you gotta get there,’” he explained. “I want to get to the point where I’m undeniable.”
Super Bowl LIX will take place in February 2025, with Kendrick Lamar leading the halftime performance.
