Lil Wayne promised never to play during future Super Bowl half-time shows.
The rapper was devastated that he lost the concert this year against Kendrick Lamar, who played the Super Bowl Lix in February at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Unbeknown, Lil Wayne revealed that he was in communication with the NFL to potentially serve as a star of the 2025 half-time show and they encouraged him to amplify his public character in the hope of potentially accelerating the place to perform at Super Bowl.
“To play, it’s a lot of things they will tell you to do and not do, asses to kiss and not kiss,” he said in an interview on Thursday with Roller. “If you notice, I was one of the things that I have never been part of, like (Michael) the entirely white parties of Rubin. I do shit with Tom Brady. It was all for (the Super Bowl). You have never seen me in these types of places.”
Despite the confusion, the singer of “Lollipop” said that he would not participate in a future part-time show of the Super Bowl. “They stole this feeling. I don’t want to do it. It was perfect,” he said about the 2025 match, which was held in New Orleans, the rapper’s hometown.
When Roc Nation, NFL and Apple Music officially announced the rapper “Not Like Us” as the interpreter of the Super Bowl, Lil Wayne published a sincere video where he said that he “blamed me for not having been mentally prepared for a disappointment and to put myself in place, mentally in this position”.
Now he revealed that after the news has become public, someone from the NFL said to him: “We are not in charge”, as the Roc Nation, the Jay-Z entertainment society, produces the show and apparently the last word in which goes on stage. Lil Wayne added that the news was a surprise for the NFL: “All of a sudden, according to them, they is curved. So, I’m going to have to settle with everything they say.
He also admitted that he had not watched Lamar’s performance in the February 7 match and had no idea that the rapper had beef with his friend Drake. “Whenever I looked at, it was nothing that made me want to go inside and see what was going on,” he said.
