American rapper Lil Wayne has expressed his disappointment in not being chosen as the headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, stating that it was a heartbreaking experience for him.
Following criticism from Nicki Minaj and his fans towards Jay-Z for selecting Kendrick Lamar over Wayne, Lil Wayne took responsibility for not being mentally prepared for the letdown.
In a viral video message, he mentioned that headlining the Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans would have been a great honor for him.
Despite the setback, Lil Wayne is now focused on moving past the disappointment.
“That hurt a lot. I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown. I thought there was nothing better than that stage in my city… It broke me and I’m just trying to put me back together,” he said.
