*Charlamagne Tha God believes the criticism of Jay-Z and Roc Nation for choosing Kendrick Lamar over Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl 59 halftime show in New Orleans is unwarranted. Instead, in the clip above, he suggests people should be celebrating the fact that Taylor Swift was kept off the stage.
Earlier, we reported that Super Bowl LIV will take place in New Orleans on February 9, 2025, with Lamar headlining the halftime show. However, many fans feel that hometown legend Lil Wayne should have been given the spotlight. Boosie Badazz and Master P are among those who believe a New Orleans artist should headline the performance.
“All y’all acting like y’all cool with how they playing it for the Super Bowl SMH the most cultural city [in] the USA (New Orleans) it’s a smack in the face to every hip hop legend from Louisiana!” wrote Boosie in a tweet, Complex reports. He suggested New Orleans natives like Master P or Birdman should be involved with the show instead of Lamar.
“This shows they never wanted y’all to kick [in] the door [in] the first place ’cause they still tryna lock it!!” Bossie continued. “Super Bowl 22′ was Cali [and] Cali artist was allowed to do they thang [and] it was a great show!! But now it’s [in] Louisiana [and] no Louisiana legends can’t do they thang #idontrespectit.”
In a statement shared on social media, Master P wrote, “Salute to @kendricklamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX… well deserved, he’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now.”
He added, “As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans, I have to agree with the fans that @liltunechi #LilWayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant, and he’s a New Orleans native.”
Nicki Minaj took to social media to criticize JAY-Z, suggesting that his ego and personal issues with Birdman, Drake, and herself influenced decisions related to Lil Wayne, Ice Cream Convos reports.
She wrote: “Denying a young Black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake, & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out. A white man. S**t sad. House NI**ER TINGZ. But it’s GOOD FI DEM!!!!!!! No loyalty?
