Lil Wayne Performs a Career-Spanning Medley of His Hits on ‘SNL50’


Lil Wayne performed a career-spanning medley of hits during 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' on Sunday.

Five days before the Big Game he wanted to play (but got over it and wished Kendrick Lamar “ all the best ”), he teased he had “ a special announcement ” to make later that week. He revealed the news in an extended Cetaphil commercial titled “We’re all a lil Sensitive,” a cheeky play on his disappointment in not being chosen to helm the Super Bowl halftime show. Sabrina Carpenter and Paul Simon opened the show with a performance of “ Homeward Bound ”; Miley Cyrus, Brittany Howard, and the Roots paid tribute to Sinead O’Connor, performing the Prince-penned “ Nothing Compares 2 U ”; and Paul McCartney closed out the show with a medley of songs, including “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight,” and “The End.”
