Jay-Z, co-producer of the Super Bowl halftime show, defended the selection of Lamar, calling him “a once-in-a-generation artist and performer” in an official statement. He added, “Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”
Lil Wayne addressed the situation during an Instagram livestream, sharing his emotional response. “That hurt, it hurt a lot… I thought there was nothing better than that spot, on that stage, on that platform, in my city… it broke me, and I’m just trying to put me back together,” Wayne stated.
The decision not to include Lil Wayne in the halftime show has led to heated discussions on social media, with many fans expressing frustration over the NFL’s choice. Despite the disappointment, the anticipation for Lamar’s performance at the 2025 Super Bowl remains high.
