Lil Wayne says he won’t do the Super Bowl halftime show, fans roast: "They didn’t give you the option"

Recently, Lil Wayne made a controversial statement on social media that he won’t consider performing in the Super Bowl halftime show ever again, sparking mixed reactions among fans and critics.

Though Lil Wayne dominated the music industry throughout the last decade, his glory has faded, according to the Internet speculations. Some even claim that he is no longer in the limelight.

His statement about the Super Bowl halftime show felt off-putting to netizens as some felt it was unnecessary shade upon this year's performers. Social media once again became the voice of Rap enthusiasts.

According to fans, Lil Wayne is acting like the Super Bowl authority was pleading with him to perform in the show, while that’s far from the reality. Kendrick Lamar’s performance in the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show is still living rent-free in people's minds.
