- Earlier this year, Kendrick was announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show, surprising some, especially Lil Wayne.
- Wayne openly expressed his disappointment, particularly through the lyrics on Kendrick’s latest album, leading to public speculation about their relationship.

When Kendrick Lamar was chosen to headline the next Super Bowl halftime show, some fans were thrilled, but Lil Wayne was notably disappointed. Kendrick’s announcement took many by surprise, including the New Orleans-based Wayne, who felt snubbed by the decision.
Wayne’s public reaction wasn’t kind. On social media, he seemed to lash out at Kendrick, leading fans to wonder about the state of their friendship. His disappointment became a topic on Kendrick’s latest album, adding fuel to the flames of speculation.
In an interview, Wayne talked about a phone call he had with Kendrick, sharing that any tension was now water under the bridge. “I’ve spoken to him and wished him all the best and told him he better kill it,” Wayne revealed.
Strangely, Wayne admitted he hadn’t heard the song where Kendrick referenced the drama, despite his earlier irritated post following its drop. But after hearing the lyrics, he noted no malice was intended. “He didn’t let me down,” Wayne concluded, acknowledging Lamar’s hard work earned him the spotlight.
Moreover, Wayne dismissed talks of performing at the halftime show alongside Kendrick. He ended speculation quickly, noting a scheduling conflict would keep him far from the Super Bowl. Wayne confidently shut down the cameo rumors, saying he wouldn’t even be in the country.
In contrast, some drama whispers lingered, with Joe Budden suggesting Wayne wasn’t happy, claiming Kendrick ignored a direct call from him. However, Wayne’s public statements now seem to counter these rumors.
Kendrick’s lyrics on “wacced out murals” directly addressed the tension, hinting at admiration for Wayne, though noting how his success might’ve inadvertently hurt Wayne’s feelings.
Back-and-forth social media exchanges added spice to the whole episode, with Wayne even writing a strong post online urging to ‘let this giant sleep.’ Now, Wayne seems to view past events with a calmer perspective.
Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar have put any misunderstandings behind them, sealing their friendship with mutual respect.
