Lil Wayne is setting aside any hard feelings about being overlooked for Super Bowl 59’s halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans. Instead, the rap icon is throwing his full support behind Kendrick Lamar, who’s set to light up the stage at the highly anticipated event.
During an appearance on The Skip Bayless Show, Skip tried stirring the pot by expressing his frustration over the absence of Young Money’s influence at the Caesars Superdome this February. Skip labeled it a baffling decision, but Lil Wayne stayed unbothered and kept it positive.
“I’ve spoken to Kendrick, and I told him he better kill it,” Wayne shared with Skip. “For whatever reason, it’s beyond me why I wasn’t chosen. But honestly, I think it’s all good, and I’m just excited to see what he does with it.”
Wayne made it clear that he holds no grudges, calling the decision “perfect” despite not fully understanding the reasoning behind it.
While many fans were hoping for a hometown hero moment, the New Orleans native’s gracious attitude has set the stage for mutual respect among rap legends. Wayne’s message to Kendrick is one of solidarity, proving he’s all about lifting others up in the hip-hop community.
As Kendrick Lamar prepares for what’s sure to be a show-stopping performance, Lil Wayne’s well-wishes only add to the anticipation for Super Bowl 59’s halftime spectacle.
