Further Exploring Lil Wayne’s Latest Comments About Kendrick Lamar
On September 8, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the headliner for the Superbowl LIX halftime show at Caesars Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 9, 2025. NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation made the announcement that received mixed responses.
One of them was choosing K-Dot instead of Lil Wayne to perform in the latter’s hometown. In response, Weezy recently sat down with Skip Bayles and claimed to have shared a phone call with Kendrick and that they hit it off.
He explained that the not like us The singer had no “control” over the selection and did not hold him responsible for his disappointment.
“He didn’t let me down, it’s not like I can control it… It’s actually him expressing… you know, a heart… and showing that he really cares,” Wayne stated.
Weezy also shared that he was a “fan” of K-Dot just like the latter was a fan of him.
“He saw like everyone else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that’s all he meant… He got there… His hard work is the reason he got there,” Wayne added.
The Young Money Entertainment founder also mentioned hearing the lyrics of erased murals (from the latest surprise album, GNX) for the host’s “first time” and that he understood what Kendrick Lamar meant by that.
However, he also clarified that he wasn’t going to be in the country during the Superbowl, so there was no chance of a last-second appearance during the halftime show with K-Dot on stage. Weezy also mentioned that he wanted to get to the point where he was “undeniable” the next time that opportunity presented itself.
Lil Wayne’s latest comments come less than a month after he addressed X and wrote on November 23:
“Man, what do I do?! I’m just relaxing and they still come to my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg you all. No one really wants destruction, not even me, but I will destroy it if you bother me. About me Love.”
Before that, on September 14, Weezy took to Instagram and shared how being ignored at the Superbowl “hurt a lot.”
“I thought there was nothing better in that place, on that stage, on that platform. It broke me, but I’m just trying to put myself back together,” he shared, reiterating his desire to play the halftime show several times over the years.
Weezy also thanked his fans, colleagues and others for their “love and support” who “held me up when I tried to back down.” He also shared that he blamed himself for “not being mentally prepared for disappointment,” but he was trying to calm down and take control of his emotions.
Aside from mentioning Lil Wayne in his song, Kendrick Lamar has yet to address the issue. The duo previously collaborated on the former’s 2018 song, Mona Lisa.
Notably, during a 2022 interview with The Coveteur, K-Dot dubbed Lil Wayne the “greatest” not only for his “music” but also for his “huge” impact on hip-hop “culture.” While Kendrick said he always had “great respect” for Weezy, the latter returned the compliment by calling K-Dot “the real one” in X.
