Lil Wayne says he was 'hurt' and 'broken' after being passed up in favor of Kendrick Lamar to headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans.
Although devastated that he wasn't selected to headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans, Lil Wayne said Thursday that he's grateful for every voice that has supported him since Kendrick Lamar was announced last weekend as the halftime performer.
“As an artist, this is an achievement,” Lil Wayne said of the halftime show in an interview with sports journalist Taylor Rooks last year. 'This has nothing to do with the sport. That’s so crazy. I don’t care what teams are playing, what city it’s in. ‘You performed for the what?!’ Like, what? Oh man, that right there is an achievement.” RocNation, Apple Music and the National Football League announced Sunday that Lamar will headline the 2025 show on Feb.
