Nah Hov, Nas and 50 all gave him props. Not just Nas. Obviously Hov is Roc Nation and is somewhat obligated to say something but Jay is a big fan of Kdot for sure.
Why is that disappointing? Look at the crop of rappers out right now. They don't owe Kendrick anything same way Kendrick don't owe them anything. It's not that deep anyway
Honestly I assume most ppl going to congratulate him personally if they can. If I knew him I prolly wouldn't make a post and would just hit him up 🤷♀️
He's making it worse with this whining ass video. He's still stuck in a teenage mindset, I'm sorry. But I put the blame on Birdman and Cash Money for most of that. They didn't allow him to live those years out as the child he was.
@@i.m.6758 bc kendrick made the objectively better album. in this case, kendrick is objectively the better choice for the sb bc he’s been highly discussed and praised since march, which gives the halftime show more viewers. can’t forget the nfl is a business, after all. they put a lot of money into the production for it, and any reasonable person would expect them to want to give it to the best possible candidate wayne performing in NOLA at halftime would be nice, it would be nice for the city, but that’s never been what the halftime show was about. as opposed to the grammys where it’s about selecting the best/highest quality artist or music
It Has never been the norm for an artist, let alone a rapper, to get a superbowl half time show in their hometown. They didn’t do it for Rihanna, they didn’t do it for Beyoncé, they didn’t do it for Prince, and they didn’t even do it for Michael Jackson. The 2013 Super Bowl was in New Orleans when Lil Wayne’s legacy was just as solidified and his voice sounded way better before the recent damage to his performing ability, and not a single soul got upset that he wasn’t selected. Just corny ass drake fans disguising their hate for Kendrick as concern for Lil Wayne, and ignorant fans with misplaced feelings unfortunately.
Wrong, this is the first Super Bowl in New Orleans under jay z, that was before jay z, you can claim to be “100% hiphop now” then ignore Wayne, it’s an insult
@@Whatyoumeanyoudont first of all, I never said that the Super Bowl in 2013 was under Jay Z, so I wasn’t wrong about that. Second, my point still stands that there wasn’t public outrage back then when Beyoncé Performed and not Wayne. Second, Jay Z never claimed that every single half time show under his decision would be “100% hip hop now” (The Weeknd literally performed a few years ago) and even if he did, Wayne isn’t the only hip hop artist so him not being picked is just like every other artist that wasn’t picked. Also Jay Z chose Kendrick, this generation’s biggest true hip hop artist to perform, so a hip hop artist is still performing. And lastly, the city gets the final say on who performs. If they thought it was so an insult if Wayne didn’t perform then they would have forced Jay Z’s hand.
@@patrick05Morgan 1. the superbowl under jay z is different that before jay z 2. Yes he did, that was the entire selling point, the reason he was brought in, after the Super Bowl beforehand was a disaster 3. Ever since jay took over, in 2019, there has only been 1 rap performance, and it was headlined by Dr Dre, Kendrick and snoop, everyone who was not California was just a guest star, this is the second all time under jay Z, but no Wayne? How is that fair? How can you claim to be “100% hiphop inclusive” then not pick the guy who you claimed was your friend on stage who has been begging to get on for years, Jay z picks the people, nfl pays them
being rich and famous since you were a kid tends to have that effect 😭 can’t believe he didn’t brace himself for not being picked for the fuckin SUPER BOWL
It's crazy that people don't know about this weirdness. It's like puffy and Vince McMahon. When shit comes out people are gunna act suprised but nah, we been known sumn ain't right with Birdman.
@@ingegaugerlarranaga4210 im not saying he’s not wtf ???? what I’m saying is bro they bullied tyga out the group Because he was beefing with drake that’s when we say they was really together like
Wayne was doing all that yapping about how this "broke" him but watching his recent performances is enough to tell you how serious he truly was about this (or not) 💀 Wayne is a notoriously terrible, inconsistent performer with several reports of unprofessional behavior (allegedly had an altercation with a dancer backstage at Beyonce's concert too). How come you feel so entitled for a performance that was never promised to you, but have been putting consistently bare minimal effort? Something's not adding up. I wouldn't be surprised if he did this seeing people gass him up for the performance and ran with that expectation
@@karimd88They’re saying that people don’t actually care if Wayne does the Super Bowl or not. Drake fans just don’t want Kendrick to be the one to do it instead. This wouldn’t be a conversation if anyone else was performing
That's the main thing that irks me about this whole situation. Nobody would be complaining AT ALL if they didn't choose Kendrick. The only reason this is such a big deal is because Drake fans are salty about the beef and are looking for any and every reason to trash Kendrick.
@@autogamezz9999 nowhere did I make it about Drake, I said Drake fans. And you're lying to yourself if you think all of this backlash is from Wayne fans. it's not
@@autogamezz9999Well, go buy his tickets and you guys should have a Superbowl yourselves and let's see how many people attend since your real fans and get that cup out his hands maybe he can perform at the next one genius.
The man has been hanging out with Jay-Z. How do you know there wasn't talks and considerations for him to perform. He clearly sounds like there were conversations behind the scenes about this possibly happening for him.
Nah, that man doesn’t get online to speak out about anything else. Now all of a sudden he’s posting a vid to speak on this? Somebody definitely gassed him up to do this. Nobody cared when Beyonce performed at the last Super Bowl in New Orleans. He needs to cut it out and so do Birdman, Nicki Minaj and the crazy fans.
He sounded pathetic he was acting like he was told one thing and they did him dirty. He even says he acting like he was promised something he wasn’t . He don’t even look healthy just sitting on that couch
As a Wayne fan I think we should hold him accountable for his own shortcomings. He could’ve been the undisputed goat but he decided to be a coke head instead. Hov wasn’t as talented as him but was infinitely more intelligent than him. Even Drake snaked wayne for the top spot, fucked his bitch and put him into submission and everything. I remember when Wayne was hungry and cocky in his prime. Now he’s just a beta-cuck. For my own perception I like to pretend that he never made it off Rykers Island and no music has dropped since. #Freeweezy
Bro gotta be slow after all that syrup. Why would a 41 year old Wayne after not being a top rapper for a decade perform at the Super Bowl. Especially when he could have performed it 2013
fact of the matter is... he didn't give Dot his flowers for getting this opportunity ....so weird....bro accept it and congratulate Dot....plus why didn't mfs online complain when he didn't get it in 2013 or any other time???? I love Wayne but the disrespect thrown to Dot is so sus dawg. smdh
@@waynewayne8419I can say it with my CHEST! Wayne is ANTI BLACK! He has made so many Anti Black comments and Anti Dark skin women comments! USE GOOGLE! The black community has just let him slide! He should have received backlash YEARS AGO!
Shawn, stop. Wayne is a multimillionaire, and one of the greatest rappers ever. He’s not stupid. He wrote songs about racism. He CHOSES to act oblivious to certain things, whenever he doesn’t want to alleviate his white fanbase. He has to understand what’s going on in his business meetings, in order to make money. If someone stole money from him, I bet you he wouldn’t be too “in his own world,” to understand that! You’re just giving him excuses for his bullcrap.
How do you automatically assume you’re gonna get the job just because the Super Bowl is in Louisiana ? it has never been a theme for a hometown artist to automatically play the Super Bowl. Last city I lived in that had a Super Bowl was Houston sure Beyoncé could have performed, but Lady Gaga did. This whole discourse is absurd to me. Like what are we doing?
PE are upset that Wayne isn't man enough to except he was never in the running and should have congrualated Kendrick who has nothing but good thing to say about him . The others are mad because KDot mop the floor with Drake in a battle . Lil lean and Drake are they same people sore losers and the majority of you people don't have critical thinking skills.
@@_NoHandle_ we gotta wait on kendricks numbers. if he breaks usher’s record (or even michael jackson’s which would be HYSTERICAL), they might want roc nation to renew their contract. this was their last pick im pretty sure
Honestly, he should have congratulated Kendrick. Kendrick has bigged Wayne up for years, has said Wayne is one of his rap legends and in this video Wayne didn't even mention Kendrick! Just check into rehab Wayne, you need help.
@@waynewayne8419 Why is it a problem to show some love to another person period? They're both Black men who love rap and contributed a great deal to the culture in their own ways. So instead of treating this as an L for Lil Wayne, treat it as a win for the culture. Let's get the egos out of the equation.
@@mighty_isis9294 this is a win for the west coast. Instead of showcasing Louisiana legends they are just showcasing west coast rappers like they are the only rappers in the country. It’s basically colonization
@@wedontagelikemilktho.7839 He is saying the fact that people are using kendrick's a grown man as a defense to why certain people are acting a way is funny since lil wayne is also a grown man but gets a pass to act like a child. Very simple sentence to understand.
@@wedontagelikemilktho.7839I think he was trynna say is that they’re both grown men but Lil Wayne is definitely too old to be acting like this. I wish instead of this they coulda just did a thing like how JLO and Shakira shared a stage at the superbowl or something. 😭
At first I kinda cared a little, maybe. Not so much. But i don't have a single fuq to give at this point. They way Kendrick is being treated made me stone cold. The clown show shall pass. CONGRATULATIONS KENDRICK AND DAVE FREE 🎉🎉!!!
I agree that the relationship between so-called 'consumers' and artists is warped and needs a re-set. I agree that as a human being, Lil Wayne is allowed to feel and publicly express disappointment. (I've argued elsewhere that he could of kept this in the drafts--but, you make a good point.) But here is where I completely disagree: He is still being utterly self-absorbed and centres himself. He is making Kendrick's moment all about HIM and comes across as a little kid rather than a 40-something year old OG (who Kendrick adores). But not a single word of congratulations. Towards the end, Wayne starts thanking people as if he's just received an award or an accolade without a single word of acknowledgment of the person who actually has the accolade? It's bizarre, graceless, and out-of-touch. No one gets to be that oblivious and so lost 'in their own world' that they forget that other people exist. Too many Lil Wayne fans are quick to infantilise him and treat him as a special unicorn. He's not the only person who has ever been disappointed, but he feels so sorry for himself that there's no room for anyone else to even offer sympathy. Perhaps if fans stopped telling Wayne that he's a unicorn and treating him as if he's that 'special dude' (or kid) who's above the fray, he wouldn't have thought that simply being 'Lil Wayne' and from the region would make him an automatic shoo-in. Intentional of not, there is an arrogance and sense of entitlement there which people supported and enabled. He needs to surround himself with better people.
He does that A LOT. Ignoring or purposely framing points to make his. Going all the way back to when he listened to The Heart Part 6 and how the chat told him that the "Mother I..." bar wasn't true. Shawn first said that he doesn't remember the context of the song, then the chat told him Drake misunderstood the song and then Shawn bent over backwards to defend the stance anyway by saying that if Kendrick was given false information about the kid, then Drake can lie and say he was molested. ???
He's currently on tour and before everything popped off, there were still plenty tickets available to many of his shows, including his New Orleans show in November. I've been pointing it out that if they want to so him so badly, they can go to one of this shows.
Biggest rapper is still Drake first of all. Second it’s a 12-15 minute show so rehearsal will take care of that. And the superbowl has never been about who’s the hottest atm. You Kenny fans be disingenuous af
@@kwamemwangs2173 drake has been the most streamed rapper even after the beef so he’s still successful? Beyond that people would still have an issue because there are still rappers you can showcase to show the culture from the region. You guys refuse to understand this
@@waynewayne8419 what i refuse to understand is why kendrick is apparently not qualified for this which just isn't true and you're lying if you think it is. Also this can't be about "the culture" if you're bringing up drake so much as if he would've been better
@@kwamemwangs2173 who said Drake should perform, the guy said Kendrick is bigger and that’s not true lol. I’m more annoyed at the lack of participation from other rap artists. One would think only west coast 🥷 rap
@@waynewayne8419 Nah it’s about the overall point that “artists from specific areas should perform at specific locations that they are from” which is again stupid
@@waynewayne8419 sure theoretically it sounds fun and all but reality is Kendrick Lamar had one of biggest years of any artist so it would make sense for Super Bowl to profit of that
I don’t even think it’s about ppl not showing Kendrick “sympathy”. It’s about how a lot of ppl aren’t congratulating him or giving him his flowers for this accomplishment. Instead, ppl are upset that Wayne isn’t performing, as this that was something he was owed or entitled to. Wayne is a grown man. He can feel upset. But this isn’t the first time the superbowl is in New Orleans. But it is the first time that a rapper is a solo performer. So for him to hop on live and express that he thought he was gonna be picked takes Kendrick’s moment away from him and blows things out of proportion even more so
@@waynewayne8419 brother the superbowl has historically hosted people NOT in their hometowns. the hate is literally a bandwagon. performing in a big city for a big event is not stomping on everyone from that city
@@qyntifex in 1960 I would not be allowed to drink from the same fountains as white folk. See how dumb your point sounds? If you’re only going to showcase west coast rap on the main stage then expect criticism, rap is more than west coast rappers, other regions have a wealth of talent and history to share too.
@@waynewayne8419 what kind of strawman argument is that? there is no substantial precedent for hosting a person in the superbowl halftime performance purely because they are from there. lil wayne was never reached out to or considered, so kendrick did not take anything from him. it’s cut and dry.
@@qyntifex it’s an analogy to show you why your argument doesn’t hold up. You saying they never did it before is irrelevant and is why it’s a problem. The nfl should be showcasing musical culture from the state they show in the first place not that you guys care about that anyway. Furthermore to keep using west coast rappers in your shows instead of showing how rich hiphop culture is in every state is bad.
Also, as much as I love Wayne, I can only feel so bad for him when he had constantly refused to speak on issues regarding the treatment of black people, and even saying racism doesn’t exist. I’m not gonna now march for Wayne’s rights to the Super Bowl.
Yall be so crazy. So you guys only stand up for conscious rappers now because the rest don’t be rapping about black issues? Kenny fans a different breed
@@waynewayne8419 You’re being purposefully obtuse. It’s not about standing up for the conscience rapper, Wayne is the goat to me, it could have been anyone chosen and I’d still have the same opinion. I feel for Wayne because I know how much he wanted it, but my sympathy only can go so far when what he’s hurt about pales in comparison to the things he’s refused to acknowledge even exist. I lost a little respect for Wayne when he said this years ago.
@@waynewayne8419You don’t have to be a conscious rapper to show empathy to your own people. I can have a little bit of sympathy for him since he is a human being, but it’s not going to make me boycott the superbowl because he is not performing.
Guys he’s not dying . Stop with this pity party bs . For him to make that video and make ppl feel bad for him (intentional or not ) & not congratulate Kdot not even once is a real sucka move . Shit gotten pathetic atp , he ain’t a make a wish kid
I grew up on Wayne and ngl this came across so corny. Kendrick just makes more sense for the Super Bowl. Wayne is a Legend himself and one that Kendrick looked up to, he could’ve congratulated him if anything
➡Shaun Harrison, Art Director of the Grammy’s quotes: "I've 'worked with' Lil Wayne before for Grammy performance and personal feelings that would be the biggest mistake ever putting him as the headliner for the biggest performance of the year The Super Bowl," Harrison wrote. "He showed up to zero rehearsals we didn't even think he would make the performance then last minute he was in the building and ran on stage for the performance and ran off back into oblivion lol. Never even got to meet him after week of rehearsals for a show. Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest rap performers ever and unapologetically black in his message and it's during black history month, it's going to be a spectacle!" In a follow-up post on his Instagram Story, Harrison further argued: "Not to mention Dr. Dre is the only to be from the state the Super Bowl is in... so the argument is moot, that's never been a prerequisite."
Wayne sounding like that one Mickey Mouse image. Bro bouta go on a walk, sulking, kicking rocks with his hands in his pockets and head ducked down lmfao
Its ridiculous how some of yall grown azz men are coddling Wayne and his ego. No one told him that he was even being considered for the gig yet his ENTITLEMENT wouldnt allow him to see past his ill-perceived expectations. It’s entirely his own fault for why his feelings are hurt but that shouldn’t stop him from congratulating Kendrick. It’s a win for hip hop as a whole and instead of him acknowledging that his woe is me azz went into full victim mode. He looked weak, corny, and entitled period.
I think this whole Super Bowl situation is manufactured outrage, no one’s given a fuck about what Wayne’s been doing for the past 5 years now all of sudden theres outrage that he’s not performing the superbowl of all places, Everytime there’s superbowl halftime discussion Wayne is never brought up as a contender bc 1. Wayne isn’t a performer 2. the Super Bowl is a family friendly establishment and his music is wayyyyy too raunchy to play and 3. no shade but who gaf about lil Wayne in 2024, Wayne can barely function as it is and can hardly remember his own lyrics but y’all expect me to believe he should perform at the Super Bowl? And then this video just makes him look more foolish, how’re you disappointed about not getting an opportunity that you were never in the running for in the first place lol
Kinda think the whole reason Wayne even thinks this is because he’s got weirdos like Nicki in his ear telling him shit. She’s just using him to stir shit with someone she doesn’t like.
lil wayne ain’t talk like this when birdman blew up his bus and took a 100 million from him but now I’m supposed to believe this super bowl means this much to him😭😭😭
Lil Man was never inconsideration. Who wants to watch lean drinking, tattooed faced dude with his pants down showing his azz at halftime at the Superbowl
It's weird that you're defending Wayne's childish behavior but then saying Kendrick is a "grown man." Wayne has never given a thought out statement about anything remotely important, yet, had the time to start a pity party to step on Kendrick's moment over something this insignificant in comparison to the topics he's had the opportunity to get this emotional about. It comes across as very self-important. Surely, you can acknowledge why his attitude would rub people the wrong way.
Nobody would complained if they didn't chose Kendrick just like they didn't with maroon 5 in Atlanta and in 2013 in new Orleans, and i don't wanna make this a conspiracy thing but i feel that half of the industry just hate the praise that Dot been get since he began
Honestly I think it is entitlement nobody told him he had the gig. Just because you want a job does not mean you are guaranteed to have it. Super Bowl have never pick artist to perform at the half time show based on whether or not the Super Bowl is located in their hometown. Congratulations Kendrick Lamar it’s your time to shine 😊
Shawn d-ridding Wayne at that last part, the thing was not Wayne speaking or not, but why he is choosing to speak on something that it never had any mention that he would be part, like yourself said, after a beef with someone close to him, acting like he was told before that he would be the pick and then changed at last minute, he was not verbal in other situations, so he being verbal now makes little to no sense, and no one has to assume if it's important to him or not, but point me out for any other situation that Wayne did something like this in his entire life, even when he had more motive to do.
He’s talked about wanting to perform there many many times. He’s just disappointed that he didn’t do enough to be chosen to perform in his city. Not that deep, men are allowed to be upset
@@SP-uw1bq Didn't say at any moment that "men are not allowed to be upset", but he being disappointed conveniently when is Kendrick, after all Drake diss, and making this mockery of video as if he was entitled of being there because is in his city is a joke, mind you New Orleans is the second city with the most Super Bowls hosted, he was not this upset in 2013 when he was more active in music and had a real chance. He could just congratulate Kendrick, like Nas did, or just keep quiet, this is just pure entitlement.
@@exocitus8731 a man expressing his disappointment in himself for not putting himself in a position to achieve one of his lifelong goals is entitlement? Lol
if anyone here really thinks wayne would have done well at the superbowl, do yourself a favor and watch his wrestlemania performance and then come back here and tell me if you still think that
People fail to realize the Super Bowl has been in NOLA before...so to think that Lil Wayne would just because it's in NOLA this year is insane behavior
You missed the mark on this topic . Simply for this reason. Wayne did everything to ensure he wasn’t on that Super Bowl stage. Kendrick did the opposite . The posturing Wayne did in that video , shows the difference between , work ethic & leaning on your namesake . It’s not hard to grasp. Read your comments . The majority wins . Wayne’s name isn’t in question . Him feeling entitled while not doing the work needed but crying about not being chosen is manipulation. It’s easy to get brother . Remove the name . The crying and posturing is insulting to the people he’s trying to convince . Nvm lol
End of day it was New Orleans finally decision so jay didn’t have final say they held super bowl what 4 times in New Orleans since 90s and not rapper selected or thought of. Look at the stipulations and requirements for who’s allowed to perform. Base of background and how they conduct themselves and there background
As someone who has loved and supported Wayne since I was literally a child it disgusted me seeing people pretend to care about him this much. They used him as a scapegoat to hide behind because they really just hate Kendrick and they hate Jay Z. They're using him to justify their fake outrage.
Wayne isn't some rising star learning how the game works lol. He's been "snubbed" like 20 times, even in NO. He wasn't building some campaign over the last year, no sountbytes about how much he needed this as a bow on his career, there's not some "NOLA 25??👀👀" type tweet he made when the venue got announced that everybody is linking back to, nothing. Dude doesnt even care about his shows anymore lol. It's only after some random fans start saying he was snubbed that he is suddenly so broken and dejected. I guarantee you he didn't care when he saw the Instagram post announcing Kendrick, unless it was being mad on behalf of Drake. The "disappointment" is 1000% disingenuous. Like I'm sorry but to say it's not is an awful take, "being so broken he can't film an Instagram post without breaking" came from literally nowhere, there's no other way to read it lmao. You mean to tell me that people don't get any word from their agents about whether this was happening WEEKS before it's announced? That every year 20 musicians from the state of the Superbowl have to take a break from the internet and cry? This isn't a thing
So much of what you’re saying is coming from pure speculation as opposed to just looking at what he said in the video lmao. As I mentioned before, this is the same guy who says he never heard Migos, never experienced racism etc. Of course he wouldn’t care until people made an uproar about it, which is why it’s also reasonable to assume he’s mistaking some of that hate for the decision to choose kendrick as love for him. “I let y’all down” is literal acknowledgement that he didn’t do enough to even be considered lmao
@@ShawnCeeLIVE sorry, but neither Post Malone or Lil Wayne should be the face of any major corporation or brand - especially on a worldwide stage They both look drugged out and dirty. And he’s a diehard Green Bay Packers fan. Another reason why the city of New Orleans wouldn’t want him to rep them. The joke is as horrible as he performed at wrestlemania, his inability to remember his own lyrics, his lack of stage presence and showmanship, his non family friendly musical catalog - he thought he had a chance.
It’s more reasonable to pick Kendrick though culturally it would be Lil Wayne. Kendrick is near iconic people that were already in the halftime so that makes sense. Plus more awards and the Pulitzer award.
shawn's take is all over the place here. I agree that wayne is being ridiculous for acting like he was ever in the running, but then how can you say that the two people involved in the situation have a right to speak about how they feel. the whole point is that wayne ISNT involved and WAS NEVER involved! so he shouldn't be saying anything. he's adding unnecessary fuel to a dumb fire because it makes him feel better about himself, showing his self centered character once again
Let’s be honest.. Clearly Lil Wayne is being puppeteer by either Drake or Nicki to speak on this. Hell maybe even both. I doubt Wayne even cared to begin with. It’s shame Wayne is being used like this to somehow overturn Kendrick as the headliner. ( i also like to believe Kendrick probably redeemed some of favors to make him the headliner for next year just to spite Drake) idk industry politics if anything else. Just glad it ain’t maroon 5 performing again 💀
Seeing as he was 14mil in debt on his way to prison and the people close to him who he brought up and made rich COULD'VE gave him help but the person who people say has a problem with him is the reason he isn't but still sticks by their side is telling
Kendrick's tour performances are known to be next level, he proved he knows how to handle a Super Bowl crowd when he performed with Dre, and his Pop Out Show pulled big numbers for Amazon. The NFL is a business at the end of the day. Kendrick has been thoroughly beta tested. Wayne is unreliable. Kendrick's the right artistic AND financial choice.
Wayne has said and done so much anti-black stuff over the years, but now he thinks he deserves an opportunity that only exists because the NFL was covering their asses for their own anti-black activity? Gtfo here.
Congratulations to Kendrick! 🎈🎉🍾 🌟 I’m from New Orleans and most of us agree with the city’s decision and we will always love Wayne. However, he allowed people who really dgaf about him to manipulate him into making that post. He should’ve congratulated Kendrick or just STFU instead of being salty.🤨 It’s Kdots time to shine.✨
Fact, I don't know why Wayne thought he was even considered. The SB was in NO in 2007 and 2013 and his name never came up so why would he think he was considered now?
To not recognize this as a gross sense of entitlement is wild. If a pop star did this……scratch that. They would never because ppl get passed over every year for the SB and this is the first time an artist made a state of the union address crying about it. We have to stop normalizing foolishness. No one is entitled to that stage. It’s not even our stage. This is not the BET Awards. The ONLY thing Wayne should have used his platform to do was congratulate Dot, and try to quell the fanbase that is trying to weaponize their hate for Dot and disguise it as support for him. He could acknowledge disappointment by also expressing excitement for hip hop and Dot. Wayne knows exactly what this vid would do, which is fan the flames. And it’s telling that he’s being shot all of this bail because ppl choose to infantilize him. That in itself is even more of a reason why he SHOULD NOT be the first solo act to represent hip hop (huge subset of blk culture) on that kind of stage.
Had he been like “damn, I’m disappointed, but shoutouts to Kendrick, dude deserves it.” It would have gone down easier. He just sounds like he’s throwing a pity party.
Mans didn’t even say congratulations to kdot. Im just happy to have hip hop represented at the Super Bowl. kendrick is definitely the right choice to display it at its highest level.
Wayne had 02, and 2013 to preform. Ngl MOST people want Kendrick, and at the state of things people value Kendrick far more rn.( This doesnt Even include him having the biggest tour for hiphop, having the biggest beef ever, etc etc its fuckin kendrick.) Thats far more important. Also to fully enjoy Wayne in that environment you have to butcher his music; which kills the purpose .( Cause they just gonna play hits.) Wayne cool, but ngl most people never thought of him tbh. If Kendrick can find a way to fit him in I'd enjoy that tho.
Wayne shivering and sniffling about not getting the Super Bowl halftime show. Talking about it broke him??? to the point he had to get the strength to speak after a few days time??? omg. but could care less about Police Brutality and racism. Screams self-centeredness. He is acting like Reginae died. Over dramatic
Wayne has consistently been a mediocre performer throughout his career and especially over the last 10 years his reputation as a performer and his voice has declined. He didn’t even always show up to his concerts, and when he does he’s often high/ drunk or “Both” like that song Aubrey has with Gucci mane ironically😂. Yet people are acting like he’s been entitled to this performance since birth. The 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans was apparently Lil Wayne’s birth right, yet in 2013 at the end of his prime nobody said a word. Obviously an ulterior motive from complainers.
Me personally I don’t feel sympathy for Wayne bro has been rich since a teenager is loved and respected by millions of longtime fans and is revered as a legend so tbh cry somewhere else gang u will be just fine in ur mansion wiping yo tears wit hundred dollar bills trust😂 aint nun to cry about

Nah Hov, Nas and 50 all gave him props. Not just Nas. Obviously Hov is Roc Nation and is somewhat obligated to say something but Jay is a big fan of Kdot for sure.
nas stays one of the realest mfs in hip hop for thirty years now
Why is that disappointing? Look at the crop of rappers out right now. They don't owe Kendrick anything same way Kendrick don't owe them anything.
It's not that deep anyway
Pusha T, YG and Mustard shouted him out almost immediately
Honestly I assume most ppl going to congratulate him personally if they can. If I knew him I prolly wouldn't make a post and would just hit him up 🤷♀️
people treating Wayne like a Make a Wish kid is weird lol
salute to Nas for being a real one and congratulating Dot publicly and happily
Right 😂
He's making it worse with this whining ass video. He's still stuck in a teenage mindset, I'm sorry. But I put the blame on Birdman and Cash Money for most of that. They didn't allow him to live those years out as the child he was.
make a wish kid is killing me rn 😭 but that is real

But they understood that Kendrick might of should have won the Grammy over Macklemore tho.
@@i.m.6758 bc kendrick made the objectively better album. in this case, kendrick is objectively the better choice for the sb bc he’s been highly discussed and praised since march, which gives the halftime show more viewers. can’t forget the nfl is a business, after all. they put a lot of money into the production for it, and any reasonable person would expect them to want to give it to the best possible candidate
wayne performing in NOLA at halftime would be nice, it would be nice for the city, but that’s never been what the halftime show was about. as opposed to the grammys where it’s about selecting the best/highest quality artist or music
@@pillowvibes not to the Grammys tho. There was a disconnect. All I’m saying is it’s good to understand as many perspectives as possible.
Kendricks corny and only got the superbowl shit for pure hatred of drake lol
@@pillowvibesmusic isn't objective
It Has never been the norm for an artist, let alone a rapper, to get a superbowl half time show in their hometown. They didn’t do it for Rihanna, they didn’t do it for Beyoncé, they didn’t do it for Prince, and they didn’t even do it for Michael Jackson. The 2013 Super Bowl was in New Orleans when Lil Wayne’s legacy was just as solidified and his voice sounded way better before the recent damage to his performing ability, and not a single soul got upset that he wasn’t selected. Just corny ass drake fans disguising their hate for Kendrick as concern for Lil Wayne, and ignorant fans with misplaced feelings unfortunately.
🎯
SAY IT LOUDER FOR EVERYONE. THE TRUTH DESERVES TO BE HEARD
Wrong, this is the first Super Bowl in New Orleans under jay z, that was before jay z, you can claim to be “100% hiphop now” then ignore Wayne, it’s an insult
@@Whatyoumeanyoudont first of all, I never said that the Super Bowl in 2013 was under Jay Z, so I wasn’t wrong about that. Second, my point still stands that there wasn’t public outrage back then when Beyoncé Performed and not Wayne. Second, Jay Z never claimed that every single half time show under his decision would be “100% hip hop now” (The Weeknd literally performed a few years ago) and even if he did, Wayne isn’t the only hip hop artist so him not being picked is just like every other artist that wasn’t picked. Also Jay Z chose Kendrick, this generation’s biggest true hip hop artist to perform, so a hip hop artist is still performing. And lastly, the city gets the final say on who performs. If they thought it was so an insult if Wayne didn’t perform then they would have forced Jay Z’s hand.
@@patrick05Morgan 1. the superbowl under jay z is different that before jay z
2. Yes he did, that was the entire selling point, the reason he was brought in, after the Super Bowl beforehand was a disaster
3. Ever since jay took over, in 2019, there has only been 1 rap performance, and it was headlined by Dr Dre, Kendrick and snoop, everyone who was not California was just a guest star, this is the second all time under jay Z, but no Wayne? How is that fair? How can you claim to be “100% hiphop inclusive” then not pick the guy who you claimed was your friend on stage who has been begging to get on for years, Jay z picks the people, nfl pays them
Wayne legit looks like the sad kid where his mom won’t take him to get ice cream after the game.

Wayne was doing all that yapping about how this "broke" him but watching his recent performances is enough to tell you how serious he truly was about this (or not) 💀 Wayne is a notoriously terrible, inconsistent performer with several reports of unprofessional behavior (allegedly had an altercation with a dancer backstage at Beyonce's concert too). How come you feel so entitled for a performance that was never promised to you, but have been putting consistently bare minimal effort? Something's not adding up. I wouldn't be surprised if he did this seeing people gass him up for the performance and ran with that expectation
i can see it.

This shit is highkey embarrassing 🤦🏽♂️
This is the manipulation of an addict. Wayne is in no condition to perform on any level.
He sounded pathetic he was acting like he was told one thing and they did him dirty. He even says he acting like he was promised something he wasn’t . He don’t even look healthy just sitting on that couch
I mean he did say that about himself in the video.
As a Wayne fan I think we should hold him accountable for his own shortcomings. He could’ve been the undisputed goat but he decided to be a coke head instead. Hov wasn’t as talented as him but was infinitely more intelligent than him. Even Drake snaked wayne for the top spot, fucked his bitch and put him into submission and everything. I remember when Wayne was hungry and cocky in his prime. Now he’s just a beta-cuck. For my own perception I like to pretend that he never made it off Rykers Island and no music has dropped since. #Freeweezy

@@waynewayne8419I can say it with my CHEST! Wayne is ANTI BLACK! He has made so many Anti Black comments and Anti Dark skin women comments! USE GOOGLE! The black community has just let him slide! He should have received backlash YEARS AGO!
Shawn, stop. Wayne is a multimillionaire, and one of the greatest rappers ever. He’s not stupid. He wrote songs about racism. He CHOSES to act oblivious to certain things, whenever he doesn’t want to alleviate his white fanbase. He has to understand what’s going on in his business meetings, in order to make money. If someone stole money from him, I bet you he wouldn’t be too “in his own world,” to understand that! You’re just giving him excuses for his bullcrap.
How do you automatically assume you’re gonna get the job just because the Super Bowl is in Louisiana ? it has never been a theme for a hometown artist to automatically play the Super Bowl. Last city I lived in that had a Super Bowl was Houston sure Beyoncé could have performed, but Lady Gaga did. This whole discourse is absurd to me. Like what are we doing?
People mad at wayne and kendrick. This superbowl pick shouldn't be controversial.
you know the nfl is loving it, tho. the super bowl pick being talked abt this much does absolutely benefit them
PE are upset that Wayne isn't man enough to except he was never in the running and should have congrualated Kendrick who has nothing but good thing to say about him . The others are mad because KDot mop the floor with Drake in a battle . Lil lean and Drake are they same people sore losers and the majority of you people don't have critical thinking skills.

@@wedontagelikemilktho.7839I think he was trynna say is that they’re both grown men but Lil Wayne is definitely too old to be acting like this. I wish instead of this they coulda just did a thing like how JLO and Shakira shared a stage at the superbowl or something. 😭
At first I kinda cared a little, maybe. Not so much. But i don't have a single fuq to give at this point. They way Kendrick is being treated made me stone cold. The clown show shall pass. CONGRATULATIONS KENDRICK AND DAVE FREE 🎉🎉!!!
Shawn you shooting him a lot of bail here...lol
They hate to admit he's on drugs and needs rehab.
Super bail
I agree that the relationship between so-called 'consumers' and artists is warped and needs a re-set.
I agree that as a human being, Lil Wayne is allowed to feel and publicly express disappointment. (I've argued elsewhere that he could of kept this in the drafts--but, you make a good point.)
But here is where I completely disagree:
He is still being utterly self-absorbed and centres himself. He is making Kendrick's moment all about HIM and comes across as a little kid rather than a 40-something year old OG (who Kendrick adores).
But not a single word of congratulations.
Towards the end, Wayne starts thanking people as if he's just received an award or an accolade without a single word of acknowledgment of the person who actually has the accolade? It's bizarre, graceless, and out-of-touch.
No one gets to be that oblivious and so lost 'in their own world' that they forget that other people exist. Too many Lil Wayne fans are quick to infantilise him and treat him as a special unicorn.
He's not the only person who has ever been disappointed, but he feels so sorry for himself that there's no room for anyone else to even offer sympathy.
Perhaps if fans stopped telling Wayne that he's a unicorn and treating him as if he's that 'special dude' (or kid) who's above the fray, he wouldn't have thought that simply being 'Lil Wayne' and from the region would make him an automatic shoo-in.
Intentional of not, there is an arrogance and sense of entitlement there which people supported and enabled. He needs to surround himself with better people.
Nothing but truth

Shawn you being purposely obtuse right now honestly. You skipping over one point just to be married to another point you trying to make.
Yeah I think so
He does that A LOT. Ignoring or purposely framing points to make his. Going all the way back to when he listened to The Heart Part 6 and how the chat told him that the "Mother I..." bar wasn't true. Shawn first said that he doesn't remember the context of the song, then the chat told him Drake misunderstood the song and then Shawn bent over backwards to defend the stance anyway by saying that if Kendrick was given false information about the kid, then Drake can lie and say he was molested. ???
I hope all these people who are mad wayne isn't picked keep the same energy when he drops the album.
He's currently on tour and before everything popped off, there were still plenty tickets available to many of his shows, including his New Orleans show in November. I've been pointing it out that if they want to so him so badly, they can go to one of this shows.
They won't

Wayne is a grown man. He can feel upset. But this isn’t the first time the superbowl is in New Orleans. But it is the first time that a rapper is a solo performer. So for him to hop on live and express that he thought he was gonna be picked takes Kendrick’s moment away from him and blows things out of proportion even more so

I grew up on Wayne and ngl this came across so corny. Kendrick just makes more sense for the Super Bowl. Wayne is a Legend himself and one that Kendrick looked up to, he could’ve congratulated him if anything
➡Shaun Harrison, Art Director of the Grammy’s quotes: "I've 'worked with' Lil Wayne before for Grammy performance and personal feelings that would be the biggest mistake ever putting him as the headliner for the biggest performance of the year The Super Bowl," Harrison wrote. "He showed up to zero rehearsals we didn't even think he would make the performance then last minute he was in the building and ran on stage for the performance and ran off back into oblivion lol. Never even got to meet him after week of rehearsals for a show. Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest rap performers ever and unapologetically black in his message and it's during black history month, it's going to be a spectacle!" In a follow-up post on his Instagram Story, Harrison further argued: "Not to mention Dr. Dre is the only to be from the state the Super Bowl is in... so the argument is moot, that's never been a prerequisite."

It's weird that you're defending Wayne's childish behavior but then saying Kendrick is a "grown man." Wayne has never given a thought out statement about anything remotely important, yet, had the time to start a pity party to step on Kendrick's moment over something this insignificant in comparison to the topics he's had the opportunity to get this emotional about. It comes across as very self-important. Surely, you can acknowledge why his attitude would rub people the wrong way.

Nobody would complained if they didn't chose Kendrick just like they didn't with maroon 5 in Atlanta and in 2013 in new Orleans, and i don't wanna make this a conspiracy thing but i feel that half of the industry just hate the praise that Dot been get since he began
Honestly I think it is entitlement nobody told him he had the gig. Just because you want a job does not mean you are guaranteed to have it.

Wayne’s name isn’t in question . Him feeling entitled while not doing the work needed but crying about not being chosen is manipulation. It’s easy to get brother . Remove the name . The crying and posturing is insulting to the people he’s trying to convince . Nvm lol
He didn't congrats to Kendrick so he's fukin wrong for that bro
End of day it was New Orleans finally decision so jay didn’t have final say they held super bowl what 4 times in New Orleans since 90s and not rapper selected or thought of. Look at the stipulations and requirements for who’s allowed to perform. Base of background and how they conduct themselves and there background
As someone who has loved and supported Wayne since I was literally a child it disgusted me seeing people pretend to care about him this much. They used him as a scapegoat to hide behind because they really just hate Kendrick and they hate Jay Z. They're using him to justify their fake outrage.
Wayne should’ve/could’ve congratulated Kendrick
Wayne is definitely WRONG here. You can manifest doing the halftime show at the Superbowl. Blame management
Wayne isn't some rising star learning how the game works lol. He's been "snubbed" like 20 times, even in NO. He wasn't building some campaign over the last year, no sountbytes about how much he needed this as a bow on his career, there's not some "NOLA 25??👀👀" type tweet he made when the venue got announced that everybody is linking back to, nothing. Dude doesnt even care about his shows anymore lol. It's only after some random fans start saying he was snubbed that he is suddenly so broken and dejected. I guarantee you he didn't care when he saw the Instagram post announcing Kendrick, unless it was being mad on behalf of Drake. The "disappointment" is 1000% disingenuous.
Like I'm sorry but to say it's not is an awful take, "being so broken he can't film an Instagram post without breaking" came from literally nowhere, there's no other way to read it lmao. You mean to tell me that people don't get any word from their agents about whether this was happening WEEKS before it's announced? That every year 20 musicians from the state of the Superbowl have to take a break from the internet and cry? This isn't a thing
So much of what you’re saying is coming from pure speculation as opposed to just looking at what he said in the video lmao. As I mentioned before, this is the same guy who says he never heard Migos, never experienced racism etc. Of course he wouldn’t care until people made an uproar about it, which is why it’s also reasonable to assume he’s mistaking some of that hate for the decision to choose kendrick as love for him. “I let y’all down” is literal acknowledgement that he didn’t do enough to even be considered lmao
@@ShawnCeeLIVE sorry, but neither Post Malone or Lil Wayne should be the face of any major corporation or brand - especially on a worldwide stage They both look drugged out and dirty. And he’s a diehard Green Bay Packers fan. Another reason why the city of New Orleans wouldn’t want him to rep them. The joke is as horrible as he performed at wrestlemania, his inability to remember his own lyrics, his lack of stage presence and showmanship, his non family friendly musical catalog - he thought he had a chance.
It’s more reasonable to pick Kendrick though culturally it would be Lil Wayne. Kendrick is near iconic people that were already in the halftime so that makes sense. Plus more awards and the Pulitzer award.
Who cares about white man awards when it comes to the culture lmdao
All this is, is a last ditch effort from the Birdman/Drake camp to bring hate to Kendrick. That's all it is.
He’s wrong for not congratulating Kendrick, and egging on the pity party, and taking the attention off of Kendrick.
shawn's take is all over the place here. I agree that wayne is being ridiculous for acting like he was ever in the running, but then how can you say that the two people involved in the situation have a right to speak about how they feel. the whole point is that wayne ISNT involved and WAS NEVER involved! so he shouldn't be saying anything. he's adding unnecessary fuel to a dumb fire because it makes him feel better about himself, showing his self centered character once again
I don’t think Wayne still has it in him to bring SB halftime show energy. Dude doesn’t remember a lot of his lyrics anymore.
Let’s be honest.. Clearly Lil Wayne is being puppeteer by either Drake or Nicki to speak on this. Hell maybe even both. I doubt Wayne even cared to begin with. It’s shame Wayne is being used like this to somehow overturn Kendrick as the headliner. ( i also like to believe Kendrick probably redeemed some of favors to make him the headliner for next year just to spite Drake) idk industry politics if anything else. Just glad it ain’t maroon 5 performing again 💀
A grown man can’t think for himself?
Seeing as he was 14mil in debt on his way to prison and the people close to him who he brought up and made rich COULD'VE gave him help but the person who people say has a problem with him is the reason he isn't but still sticks by their side is telling
Kendrick's tour performances are known to be next level, he proved he knows how to handle a Super Bowl crowd when he performed with Dre, and his Pop Out Show pulled big numbers for Amazon. The NFL is a business at the end of the day. Kendrick has been thoroughly beta tested. Wayne is unreliable. Kendrick's the right artistic AND financial choice.
0:38 agreed
i agree too
Wayne has said and done so much anti-black stuff over the years, but now he thinks he deserves an opportunity that only exists because the NFL was covering their asses for their own anti-black activity? Gtfo here.
Congratulations to Kendrick! 🎈🎉🍾 🌟 I’m from New Orleans and most of us agree with the city’s decision and we will always love Wayne. However, he allowed people who really dgaf about him to manipulate him into making that post. He should’ve congratulated Kendrick or just STFU instead of being salty.🤨 It’s Kdots time to shine.✨
kendrick gotta bring wayne out for mona lisa
Fact, I don't know why Wayne thought he was even considered. The SB was in NO in 2007 and 2013 and his name never came up so why would he think he was considered now?
Idk why YM is acting like this was promised to them? Kendrick is a better performer than Wayne its as simple as that
To not recognize this as a gross sense of entitlement is wild. If a pop star did this……scratch that. They would never because ppl get passed over every year for the SB and this is the first time an artist made a state of the union address crying about it. We have to stop normalizing foolishness. No one is entitled to that stage. It’s not even our stage. This is not the BET Awards. The ONLY thing Wayne should have used his platform to do was congratulate Dot, and try to quell the fanbase that is trying to weaponize their hate for Dot and disguise it as support for him. He could acknowledge disappointment by also expressing excitement for hip hop and Dot. Wayne knows exactly what this vid would do, which is fan the flames. And it’s telling that he’s being shot all of this bail because ppl choose to infantilize him. That in itself is even more of a reason why he SHOULD NOT be the first solo act to represent hip hop (huge subset of blk culture) on that kind of stage.
Nicki behind the camera
I only learned about this because somehow a coked out Nicki tweet about this came across my radar. I barely even use Twitter lmao
You so lucky I hate twitter so much🤦🏻♀️
@@Rryiac Twitter just exists for porn and getting mad
why aren't people mad about 2013 😂
Had he been like “damn, I’m disappointed, but shoutouts to Kendrick, dude deserves it.” It would have gone down easier. He just sounds like he’s throwing a pity party.
Mans didn’t even say congratulations to kdot. Im just happy to have hip hop represented at the Super Bowl. kendrick is definitely the right choice to display it at its highest level.
Wayne had 02, and 2013 to preform.
Ngl MOST people want Kendrick, and at the state of things people value Kendrick far more rn.( This doesnt Even include him having the biggest tour for hiphop, having the biggest beef ever, etc etc its fuckin kendrick.)
Thats far more important.
Also to fully enjoy Wayne in that environment you have to butcher his music; which kills the purpose .( Cause they just gonna play hits.)
Wayne cool, but ngl most people never thought of him tbh.
If Kendrick can find a way to fit him in I'd enjoy that tho.
Damn, you’re right. Dude is clueless 😂
Stop making excuses for Wayne. He knows exactly what he is doing
Wayne shivering and sniffling about not getting the Super Bowl halftime show. Talking about it broke him??? to the point he had to get the strength to speak after a few days time??? omg. but could care less about Police Brutality and racism. Screams self-centeredness. He is acting like Reginae died. Over dramatic
If “every other perspective is irrelevant” why clip this and post it on TH-cam?
I would disagree he’s in his own world, dude been doing fts constantly 😅
Calling it rn, Kendrick bringing out lil Wayne for a surprise performance
Ik yall seen Wayne's recent performance where he sounds like his voice is on 1hp 💀
Wayne has consistently been a mediocre performer throughout his career and especially over the last 10 years his reputation as a performer and his voice has declined. He didn’t even always show up to his concerts, and when he does he’s often high/ drunk or “Both” like that song Aubrey has with Gucci mane ironically😂. Yet people are acting like he’s been entitled to this performance since birth. The 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans was apparently Lil Wayne’s birth right, yet in 2013 at the end of his prime nobody said a word. Obviously an ulterior motive from complainers.
You're reaching!!!!!! It is what it is. Some shit cannot be made edible, even if presented in the best possible light.
Me personally I don’t feel sympathy for Wayne bro has been rich since a teenager is loved and respected by millions of longtime fans and is revered as a legend so tbh cry somewhere else gang u will be just fine in ur mansion wiping yo tears wit hundred dollar bills trust😂 aint nun to cry about
