Discussing the situation with Fat Joe, LL Cool J acknowledged Lil Wayne’s undeniable talent but emphasized that timing is everything.
“Lil Wayne is one of the most talented dudes on the planet. Period. He’s one of our greats,” LL said, praising Wayne’s massive influence in the rap world. “But he’ll have his day. Let Kendrick get that. Let’s keep it moving.”
LL Cool J’s statement comes amid ongoing fan debates, with many questioning why Wayne, a New Orleans native, wasn’t chosen for the halftime show in his hometown.
The Super Bowl halftime performance, a highly coveted spot for musicians, often stirs up controversy as fans passionately back their favorite artists.
This year, Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar will take the stage, marking another milestone in his career as he headlines the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, which is set to captivate millions of viewers worldwide.
While Lil Wayne’s moment may not be now, LL Cool J’s words encourage fans to celebrate Kendrick’s achievement and look forward to Wayne’s eventual turn in the spotlight.
