Lil Wayne is expressing his disappointment after the NFL announced earlier this week that it chose Kendrick Lamar to be the musical headliner at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans. The New Orleans native, who rose to fame in the early 2000s and is considered one of the greatest rappers alive, revealed in an emotional video posted to Instagram Sept. 13 that “it hurt a lot” to not be tapped to perform during the big game, which takes place Feb. 9 at Caesars Stadium in his hometown.
I’m going to make sure this next album and everything I do is killer, so I’m going make it very hard for them to…I want to just make it hard for them not to highlight the boy,' the Wayne said during an appearance on on YG's '4HUNNID' podcast. Clips of Wayne revealing his desire to perform at the big game have gone viral this week following the NFL's announcement.
