Lil Wayne responds to Super Bowl halftime show snub: 'It was ripped away from me' | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Lil Wayne once again expressed his dissatisfaction at being overlooked at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans.

During Saturday's Lil Weezyana Fest, he told the audience that he had dreamed of being at the Super Bowl halftime show and that this year “it was ripped away from me.”

The NFL announced in September that Kendrick Lamar had been selected for the highly coveted gig. The choice came months after Lamar's long-running feud with Drake reached a tipping point and led to an exchange of personal dissidents. Lamar was widely considered the winner if both were able to achieve a victory.

Andscape's David Dennis Jr. explained the snub of Lil Wayne by those who ultimately decide the Super Bowl halftime. Beyond his New Orleans connections, Lil Wayne has the popularity and song library to anchor a performance like this.

He then said in an Instagram Live video that he was “hurt” when he learned the news about Lamar.

There's no question that Lamar is a more notable player right now, but that hasn't been the only measure of who gets selected in the past. Much Halftime shows would either fall into the category of nostalgia or symbolize some kind of lifetime achievement honor for a hugely influential star.

The Super Bowl is sure to head to New Orleans again, which would give Lil Wayne another opportunity to achieve his goal. Unfortunately, this won't happen anytime soon as the next three venues have already been decided.
