As previously reported, JesseCollins and his production company Jesse Collins Entertainment will bring Kendrick Lamar’s 2025  Super Bowl halftime performance to life. Some were upset when news broke regarding the upcoming halftime show because Lil Wayne, who is from New Orleans, was not selected to perform. The “Love Me” rapper even spoke out about how he was “hurt” by the entire thing.

Jesse Collins addressed those disappointed and said,

“We love Wayne. There’s always Vegas odds on who’s going to get to perform it. But I think we’re going to do an amazing show with Kendrick, and I think everybody’s going to love the halftime show. I know Kendrick is going to work exceptionally hard to deliver an amazing show.”

Continuing, he said,

“It’s a decision that Jay makes. Since we’ve been on board with that show, he’s made it every year, and it’s been amazing. He’s always picked right!”

Do you think Kendrick was the correct choice?
