Lil Wayne, the renowned American rapper, expressed his heartbreak over not being chosen to headline the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show.
According to reports, Nicki Minaj and several fans have voiced criticism toward Jay-Z, who was responsible for selecting the headliner, for opting for Kendrick Lamar over Wayne.
In a viral video message shared on the 13th of September, 2024, Lil Wayne admitted he holds himself accountable for not being mentally prepared to handle the disappointment.
He revealed that headlining the event in his hometown of New Orleans would have been the ultimate honor.
Despite the setback, Wayne said he is working on moving past the experience.
“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.
