Kendrick Lamar to Headline Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show
As mentioned in today’s Shannon’s Scoop, Kendrick Lamar has been officially announced as the headliner for Super Bowl 59.
Kendrick Lamar has been officially announced as the headliner for Super Bowl 59, which will take place in New Orleans on February 9th, 2025. Fans are eagerly anticipating his performance, and if you’re planning to watch from home, make sure you’re dressed to impress.
While many are thrilled about Kendrick’s selection, some are disappointed that New Orleans native Lil Wayne was not chosen. Lil Wayne had previously expressed interest in performing at the Super Bowl, and his fans are upset that he didn’t get the nod. Even his longtime manager voiced his frustration, stating that while he’s proud of Kendrick, Lil Wayne deserved a spot on that stage too.
The Lil Wayne Halftime Controversy
Master P, another iconic figure from New Orleans, chimed in on the debate. He acknowledged Kendrick Lamar’s immense talent but emphasized that Lil Wayne’s contributions to hip-hop should not be overlooked, especially given his roots in New Orleans. Master P urged the NFL not to miss this cultural moment, stressing the importance of honoring legends while they’re still with us.
However, not everyone agrees. One industry professional recounted a frustrating experience working with Lil Wayne during a Grammy performance, where he skipped all rehearsals and only showed up at the last minute for the show. This unreliability, combined with Kendrick Lamar’s reputation as one of the greatest rap performers, solidified the decision for many.
