Lil Wayne isn’t down, down, down, down, down to take the stage at the Super Bowl.
Months after the “Mirror” rapper expressed his disappointment that Kendrick Lamar would be the halftime performer for the Big Game in his hometown of New Orleans, Lil Wayne revealed whether he’d consider tackling the coveted job in the future.
“They stole that feeling,” he told Rolling Stone in an interview published April 17. “I don’t want to do it. It was perfect.”
In fact, he admitted that he didn’t watch Kendrick’s performance, despite being at the Caesars Superdome. “Every time I looked,” he explained, “it was nothing that made me want to go inside and see what was going on.”
Lil Wayne also alleged that, ahead of the halftime performer being announced, he was encouraged by the NFL to be present at more public-facing engagements—making him feel like he was a shoo-in for the show.
