News broke this week that Kendrick Lamar will be performing at the 2024 Super Bowl. Super Bowl 59 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, and rapper Lil Wayne is reportedly unhappy with the choice.
Lil Wayne, who was born and raised in New Orleans, felt that he should have been selected to perform during the big game. He posted a heartfelt video on Instagram, saying, "I had to get the strength to do this without breaking," and, "That hurt a whole lot—it broke me. I'm trying to put myself back together."
Many people may not understand how the Super Bowl artist is selected. A board, including figures such as Jay Z, is responsible for choosing artists they feel should perform. Once a unanimous decision is made, the performer for that year's Super Bowl halftime show is announced.
Some online speculate that Kendrick's announcement video might contain subliminal messages. Was he referencing his feud with Drake when he said, "There's only one opportunity to win a championship, no round twos"?
This decision raises several questions: What does this mean for Kendrick and Drake's beef? Will Kendrick perform "Not Like Us" on the big stage? And could this spark a feud between Kendrick and Lil Wayne?
