Lil Wayne no longer cares to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show after he says the NFL “stole” the feeling from him by giving it to Kendrick Lamar this year.
When Kendrick was announced as the halftime show headliner in the fall, the Young Money legend expressed his disappointment at being passed over for the gig, which he had openly coveted – not just as an avid sports fan, but because it was his in hometown of New Orleans.
Now in a new cover story for Rolling Stone published on Thursday (April 17), Weezy says not only did he skip watching this year’s show, but the gig is no longer of interest.
“Every time I looked, it was nothing that made me want to go inside and see what was going on,” he explained, before adding: “They stole that feeling. I don’t want to do it. It was perfect.”
He also alleged the NFL had been seemingly hinting that he’d be chosen for the gig as they encouraged him to be more front-facing ahead of time.
“To perform, it’s a bunch of things they’re going to tell you to do and not do, asses to kiss and not kiss,” he explained. “If you notice, I was a part of things I’ve never been a part of. Like [Michael] Rubin’s all-white parties. I’m doing shit with Tom Brady. That was all for that. You ain’t never seen me in them types of venues. I ain’t Drake. I ain’t out there smiling like that everywhere. I’m in the stu’, smokin’ and recording.”
And then when he still wasn’t chosen, he says the NFL simply told him, “We ain’t in charge [of the Super Bowl halftime show].”
He continued: “All of a sudden, according to them, they got curved. So, I’m going to have to just settle with whatever they say.”
Despite not attending nor watching, Lil Wayne still had his moment at this year’s big game with a Cetaphil commercial that revealed the release date for Tha Carter VI.
And now in his new cover story, Tune revealed more details. Cameos include Miley Cyrus, U2’s Bono, opera singer Andrea Bocelli, Machine Gun Kelly, Elephant Man and Wayne’s 15-year-old son, Kameron.
Behind the boards, the lineup of producers includes Wyclef Jean, Wheezy and possibly Kanye West.
Tha Carter VI arrives June 6.
After him nodding off mid performance the other day, they’ll never consider his junkie ass for it
That was Birdman aka Groom Daddy you fcukin ass clown 🤡🤡
Good, because he was never going to be asked to do it , especially after it was in your city and still weren’t asked to do it
Him thinking he’s even on that level of a high school auditorium performance much less the Superbowl, is hilarious. He’s nowhere near that level. Not even remotely.
All those ym artists are whiny ass clowns.
Pardon the double post

You must be drunk or something, I can understand not liking Wayne but to say he’s No Where Near That Level is asinine. Wayne is a LEGEND in this game. I didn’t think the time was right for LIl Wayne music, with what’s going on in the country. Kendrick is 🔥, plus the message was needed.
Wayne has always been terrible live and he still is. Slurry, no breath control or energy whatsoever. I dont know if its the lean, asthma or both but he cant go live at all.
7 Dread Weezy is SOFT!
The KBots in the comments already. There’s no point unless it was NOLA that’s why.
Don’t worry. That shit ended up being a disaster that his dickriding fans are out here claiming is up there with the Prince and Mike Jackson halftime, lol. I swear we’ve been getting trolled for a year, from that wack ass diss song to that worst halftime show.
he shouldn’t blame the league, blame the black man’s ass (Jay z) music director and all….
I think that’s what he did when he said the NFL was like it was out of their hands. Whose hands do you think he was saying it was in.
All I see from this comment section is a bunch of racists.
