Lil Wayne Ditches the Super Bowl—For Something Even Juicier

Buy Me A Coffee

Lil Wayne is saying “nah” to Super Bowl LIX, despite the fact that it’s happening in his own backyard—New Orleans. That’s right, while the entire city is gearing up for football madness, Weezy F. Baby is opting out. Why? Because he’s got “something very special” cooking, and no, it’s not gumbo.

The legendary rapper broke the heartbreaking news via Instagram Stories, letting his fans know that one lucky person out there would have to fill his empty seat. Thoughts and prayers to whoever gets that spot—you’ve got big shoes (and dreads) to fill.

For those holding onto hope that Lil Wayne might crash Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show like an overenthusiastic wedding guest, it’s time to let that dream go. Wayne made it crystal clear that he’s sitting this one out. But before you start throwing your Hot Cheetos in frustration, he promised that something big is coming on Thursday, February 6. What is it? A new album? A surprise collab? A tutorial on how to skateboard while holding a double cup? Nobody knows.

He reassured fans, saying, “I got something exciting coming for you … Till then, I’m just chillin’.” Translation: Y’all can suffer in suspense while he enjoys his VIP relaxation time.

ICYMI, when Kendrick was announced as the halftime headliner, it sparked some controversy. The streets were buzzing with outrage, as many felt that New Orleans’ own rap GOAT should’ve been the one blessing the stage. Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which curates the halftime show, stood firm on their decision—probably pointing at Kendrick’s fresh pile of Grammys like, “You see this? Case closed.”

Still, fans dared to dream of a Wayne-Kendrick surprise duet, mainly because they already gifted us with “Mona Lisa.” But alas, it looks like the only confirmed guest for Kendrick’s show is SZA, his upcoming tourmate. The setlist remains more top-secret than Area 51.

Lil Wayne won’t be at the Super Bowl, Kendrick is running the show, and whatever Wayne is planning for February 6 better be worth it—because missing a Super Bowl in your own city is like skipping your own birthday party.

Stay tuned.
