Nicki Minaj has clarified her feelings towards Kendrick Lamar after launching into an angry social media rant about his upcoming Super Bowl performance.
In a series of explosive posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday (September 9), the Young Money rapper accused JAY-Z, who helps organize the halftime show, of intentionally denying Lil Wayne the chance to headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, which takes place in his hometown of New Orleans next February.
Nicki’s tirade continued on Monday evening as she fired off more posts about Weezy’s Super Bowl snub, including one mentioning Kendrick by name.
Making it clear that her previous comments weren’t meant to disparage the Compton rap star, she wrote: “You can love & respect Kendrick and still love & respect Wayne. Even Kendrick loves & respects Wayne. Every real rapper loves & respects Wayne.”
In a separate post, Nicki further defended her mentor and label boss, saying: “God forbid if Wayne was to leave this earth right now, the culture would be in mourning. That’s why so many ppl keep saying to give our legends their flowers while they are still around to smell them.”
She then called out her ex-manager Gee Roberson, who has also worked with the likes of JAY-Z, Drake and Kanye West: “Sitting around all day playing games with ppl life & legacy. God ain’t sleep. Gee Roberson you will learn that, too. Very soon.”
In response to another user who argued that Kendrick, not Lil Wayne, was the right person to headline the 2025 Super Bowl, the Queen rapper hit back: “God will punish you. Mark my words. The man that has not only pushed his pen the hardest, but gave the game more than 1 hip hop ICON as well on his watch?
“Represent the RAP game?!?!! The best RAPPER don’t represent the RAP GAME well enough 4u? Black ppl. Wow. If this don’t hurt your heart to read, it will one day. Look @ how our legends keep being treated. After they’ve given so much to us.”
She added: “Who are you?!!!! You GOD?!?!!!!! Judgmental swine DELETE!!!!!!! lol you will regret tweeting this. Life is funny that way. Don’t you dare turn your nose up @ Lil Wayne you dick munchin bozo.”
You can love & respect Kendrick and still love & respect Wayne. Even Kendrick loves & respects Wayne. Every real rapper loves & respects Wayne. #GagCityDC TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!!!!! The whole DMV AREA I’ll see yall soon. We will have a beautiful, magical, successful show. #DTLR 💋

In her initial rant, Nicki Minaj tore into JAY-Z, albeit without mentioning him by name.
She accused him of preventing Lil Wayne from headlining next year’s Super Bowl halftime show — a gig he had openly coveted — due to his “hatred” of herself, Birdman and Drake, as well as his own “ego.”
The “Super Freaky Girl” hitmaker also called Hov “spiteful,” “evil” and “disgusting,” labeled him a “house n-gger” and claimed he’s in bed with the police and politicians.
Nicki isn’t the only Hip Hop figure who has pointed the finger at JAY-Z for Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl snub.
Cam’ron also blamed the Roc Nation boss while reacting to Kendrick Lamar being picked to perform at next year’s halftime show on his sports talk show It Is What It Is.
Referencing Jigga and Weezy’s past rivalry, the Dipset rapper said: “It’s one person who’s stopping this. It’s not really a secret. Lil Wayne had a problem with somebody before who’s kinda part of the organization running it. This is payback. Who’s Lil Wayne’s artist? Drake. This is crazy, bro. It’s ridiculous.”
Cam also admitted that he “hate[s] the selection,” adding: “Lil Wayne not to be performing in New Orleans for the Super Bowl is egregious, and it gotta stop.”
JAY-Z has yet to address the backlash, although in a statement coinciding with the initial announcement, he praised Kendrick Lamar as “a once-in-a-generation artist.”
“His deep love for Hip Hop and culture informs his artistic vision,” Hov added. “He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”
Someone hasnt taken their meds. This psycho bitch is really fucked up over this 🤣
It’s gone be a fucking war in New Orleans Super Bowl Week. In fact being psycho and having half the cops on the payroll helps in war mode. Good luck cock suckers. Hope your drag outfits can stop bullets. Cocksuckers gone die that week. All week War
It’s also going to be a war in my ass for the Superbowl. I’m going to let drake and my husband tag team me. They’re gonna tear my little bootyhole up !
No lie, if BBLDRIZZY put as much energy as you do BBLGREGGY, he might’ve stood a chance against King Kendrick. You are the man tho Greg. A necessary evil in the game.

Anything for some publicity

Wayne would have been high AF on that super bowl stage, and an hour late. The NFL ain’t putting up with the “Lollipop” man.
Why are we hearing from everybody but Wayne? This is just another topic for ppl to act like they care about
I love you Drake! Let me have your babies ! I swear I’d be a great father!
No lies detected.
BITCH SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
Seriously, get over it. It’s insane to give this much of af about who performs at the Super Bowl. So tired of these barrel crabs 🛢️🦀
Lil Wayne is overrated! He’s an industry plant. He started that lil name shit and that bisexual behavior when he kissed another man on the lips. Lil Wayne’s pants hang lower than his dwyck and the face tattoos are ridiculous. Lil Wayne isn’t a hip hop legend. He is a rap legend and so is Drake. Rap and Hip-hop are not the same music. Anybody can be a rapper but not every rapper can be a hip hop artist.
Well put I’ve been saying this forever they are both just mid
Looks like someone’s been hitting the slopes hard lately ⛷️❄️
She only wants Wayne to headline it because that’s the only way she and that pedo will ever be part of that halftime. She only cares about her self.
How you call someone a house n— for not letting your mans perform at the super bowl, a sport majorly owned by the pale skinned establishment lol She shoulda addressed her disapproval a bit more judiciously or just kept quiet ROFLMAO!!! Shawn whats Good!
