Lil Wayne Says Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance Was “Ripped Away” From Him

Lil Wayne Says Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance Was "Ripped Away" From Him

As a long-time fan of Lil Wayne, I can truly empathize with his emotions and feelings about missing out on the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The man has poured his heart and soul into his music, and it’s evident he dreamt of this moment for years – to perform in front of his hometown crowd and his beloved mother. It’s heartbreaking to see such a talented artist feel let down, but I admire his resilience and determination to keep moving forward.


In simpler terms, we can say that Lil Wayne openly shared his disappointment about not being chosen as the main act for the Super Bowl Half-time Show in February 2025, a role that eventually went to Kendrick Lamar.

At Lil WeezyAna Fest, the artist didn’t hold back his feelings about not getting chosen to perform in his hometown. He recounted a special moment when he got a suite for his loved ones during the year the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl, expressing, “That’s when I told myself, ‘One day, I want to perform on the Super Bowl stage, right in front of my mom.’ I put in countless hours to make that dream a reality, only to have it taken away from me.

However, at this very instance, they simply cannot seize it, he stated, drawing applause, for that is something they cannot rob from me.

He shared with the audience, “I had set a goal for myself to perform at the Super Bowl in front of my mother, and I put in all my effort to achieve that spot. Unfortunately, that opportunity was taken from me, but this very moment… no one can take this special feeling away from me.

Although Weezy appears to harbor no personal grudges against Dot, this isn’t the first time he’s voiced his feelings about being overlooked. Back in mid-September, he shared a heartfelt message on Instagram with his followers regarding the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The post read, “I apologize for the delay. I needed to gather enough strength to do this without breaking. Thank you to every voice, every opinion, all the love and support out there. Your words became my arms and held me up when I felt like giving up.” He went on to say, “That really hurt. I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for disappointment. For just automatically placing myself in that position as if someone had told me it was mine.

He remarked, “To me, no place surpassed that specific location, the stage, and the podium in my town. It shattered me. I’m merely attempting to mend myself. Yet, you all have been such a tremendous help.
