Lil Wayne fans, including major names like Nicki Minaj and Birdman, are upset about Kendrick Lamar headlining the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, feeling Lil Wayne should've gotten the spotlight in his hometown. This drama has stirred up a lot of buzz around the halftime show.
Alright, let’s talk about the recent uproar surrounding Kendrick Lamar headlining the Super Bowl in 2025. It’s no secret that when it comes to these kinds of big events, you’re always going to get some strong opinions, especially when it involves hip-hop. This time around, some big names like Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Boosie, and Cam'ron are not exactly thrilled with the NFL’s choice.
Why? Well, the Super Bowl is happening in New Orleans, and Lil Wayne, one of the biggest names in the game, who also happens to be a New Orleans native, didn’t get the call. Instead, it’s Kendrick Lamar, a legend in his own right but a California guy, headlining the halftime show. For some, it’s like having a party in someone’s house but not inviting the owner. And yeah, Lil Wayne has put in work over the years, especially for the culture in New Orleans. So, folks are feeling like he should’ve gotten his moment to shine on that stage.
Birdman, always known for speaking his mind, took to social media to voice his frustration, saying YMCMB deserved that spotlight. Nicki Minaj chimed in too, giving props to Lil Wayne and pointing out just how much he’s done for the rap game. And then there’s Boosie, who, let’s be real, is never shy about airing out his opinions. He wasn’t feeling the decision either and thought Wayne deserved to represent for the city.
Cam'ron jumped on his podcast to say, “Look, I love Kendrick, but if the Super Bowl’s in New Orleans, how are you not putting Wayne on that stage?” It’s a valid question, and a lot of people in the hip-hop community are asking the same thing.
Now, Kendrick’s obviously one of the best of this generation, so no hate there. But it does feel like a missed opportunity to celebrate a New Orleans legend in his own city. There’s still a chance Wayne could pop up as a guest, but we’ll see. Either way, the conversation has got people talking, and the Super Bowl’s halftime show just got a lot more interesting!
