Lil Wayne had expressed a strong desire to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2025, as the event will be hosted in his hometown, New Orleans, at Caesars Superdome. He shared this ambition in interviews, hoping to bring his music to the Super Bowl stage. However, Kendrick Lamar was ultimately chosen for the 2025 halftime performance, a decision made by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which handles Super Bowl entertainment. This selection disappointed Wayne, with fans and industry figures, including Nicki Minaj, voicing their support for him .
I know this is a high-profile event but is it time to start applying “sortition” to the selection of the Super Bowl halftime performer from a curated list of artists provided by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation to ensure a diverse and unbiased representation, which can bring fresh perspectives to decision-making.
Lil Wayne hasn't dropped a significant release since 2018. Lamar is a no-brainer over him, I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you.
