Kendrick Lamar’s recent Super Bowl halftime show has sparked a lively discussion among fans, especially those of Lil Wayne. After his performance in New Orleans, some Weezy enthusiasts are questioning if their idol would have done better.
The Super Bowl halftime show has always been a stage for iconic performances, and Kendrick Lamar’s latest turn has left many talking. While the set had its supporters, a faction of Lil Wayne fans expressed that Kendrick’s performance fell short of what they expected. They wondered if Lil Wayne’s vast repertoire of hits might have created a more electrifying atmosphere.
Social media was ablaze with comparisons, with some arguing that Kendrick’s selections were too centered on his GNX-era and recent tracks. Fans had hoped to hear more timeless hits, particularly those that defined his earlier career. Meanwhile, others noted that Kendrick has covered some big songs in past appearances, balancing the expectations.
Rumors swirled as to why Lil Wayne wasn’t chosen for the halftime spotlight. Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, recently mentioned that Lil Wayne was considered but they opted for Kendrick Lamar. This decision left many wondering if Tunechi might get his moment when the Super Bowl potentially returns to New Orleans.
Amidst this buzz, Lil Wayne himself has remained mostly silent, having yet to publicly react to Kendrick’s set. Historically, Wayne has been vocal about defending his peers in the industry, even sparring with Kendrick Perkins over comments about Young Money’s Nicki Minaj. However, it’s unclear how he truly feels about Kendrick’s performance, as his recent statements have been somewhat vague.
As the debate swells, one thing remains clear: Lil Wayne’s fans are eager to see him on the Super Bowl stage someday. Until then, the discussions and dreams of what could have been will continue.
