Lil Wayne Addresses Super Bowl Halftime Snub: ‘It Was Ripped Away From Me’

Lil Wayne is making his feelings known about being overlooked for the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show.

During his set at the Lil Weezyana Fest in New Orleans on Saturday (Nov. 2), Lil Wayne reflected on his aspirations to perform at the Super Bowl, sharing,
