Lil Wayne Says He Spoke With Kendrick Lamar About Super Bowl: Wishes Him ‘All the Best’

Lil Wayne said he and Kendrick Lamar have spoken about Lamar's upcoming Super Bowl halftime show performance in New Orleans that Wayne himself wanted.

After Lamar was named the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner, other musicians expressed their dismay that Lil Wayne was not selected as well, including Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Master P, Cam’ron, and Mase. Lamar took these critiques head-on with “Wacced Out Murals,” rapping that only Nas congratulated him and that he “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” When Bayless asked Lil Wayne if he was handling not being selected for the halftime show better now than when he first learned the news, he responded, “No.” However, he said he has processed it with people close to him in an effort to embrace it and move forward.
