Skip Bayless recently stirred up controversy with his comments regarding the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show, scheduled to take place in New Orleans in three weeks. 

Despite ongoing legal issues, including a lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct at FS1, Bayless voiced his opinion on X, formerly Twitter, suggesting that Lil Wayne should replace Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the event.

In his post, Bayless stated, "Sorry, Lil Wayne should obviously be the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans." 

This remark comes as no surprise, considering Bayless and Lil Wayne have been close friends for years. During his time on First Take, Bayless even received a personalized chain from the rapper, which became a well-known part of his public persona.

Although Bayless’s suggestion generated attention, it seems unlikely the NFL will alter their plans to feature Kendrick Lamar, who has already been confirmed as the headliner. Bayless, who has remained silent about the recent lawsuit, continues to engage in his usual Twitter activity, despite the surrounding controversy. Whether or not his opinion will have any influence on the Super Bowl performance lineup remains to be seen.
