Lil Wayne Vows to Never Play the Super Bowl, Says He Didn’t Watch Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show


Lil Wayne says he didn't watch Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show and vowed he won't ever play the big game after feeling snubbed.

Following the controversy surrounding this year’s headliner selection, Weezy revealed in the Rolling Stone cover story published Thursday (April 17) that he’ll never again consider playing the Big Game after being passed up to perform in 2025. The piece comes about seven months after the NFL announced that Lamar would take the stage at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans — the “Lollipop” rapper’s home city — after which Wayne told Instagram followers that he was “hurt” by the decision. Though Wayne technically wasn’t one of them, Lamar’s Halftime Show performance brought in 133.5 million viewers on game day — more than any other Super Bowl set in history.
