Lil Wayne recently appeared for an interview on The Skip Bayles Show and shared how he wished Kendrick Lamar the best for the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. In the conversation uploaded on YouTube on December 17, Weezy shared:
“I’ve spoken to him and I wished him all the best and told him he better kill it. You better kill it, you gotta kill it.”
When asked whether Kendrick Lamar provided him with an explanation about the wacced out murals lyrics, “Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” Lil Wayne shared, “He didn’t have to do anything… no explanation that was needed for that. I think I understand it.”
Amid Lil Wayne’s remarks, the internet is having diverse reactions. For instance, an Instagram user with the handle @all100z_aye commented on The Shade Room’s post sharing the interview by writing:
“Drake fans punching air rn.”
Many others joined the conversation and shared similar reactions on the social media platform X.
“The OvH*e community not gonna like this one,” a person wrote.
“All the Drake fans quiet about this one,” one person wrote.
“Glad there’s no beef there,” wrote another.
Others continued to chime in.
“I’m disappointed on this brother… He sound scared,” a netizen wrote.
“Nice to see Wayne keeping it chill—no bad blood,” another netizen wrote.
“Be dope if Dot was to bring em out during that Super Bowl performance,” one user wrote.
“Sounds like Wayne doesn’t want to Squabble Up with the Boogie Man,” wrote another.
Exploring further Lil Wayne’s latest comments about Kendrick Lamar
On September 8, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the Superbowl LIX halftime show headliner at the Caesars Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 9, 2025. NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation made the announcement which was met with mixed responses.
One of them was choosing K-Dot over Lil Wayne to perform in the latter’s hometown. In response, Weezy recently sat down with Skip Bayles and claimed to have shared a phone call with Kendrick and that they were on good terms.
He explained that the Not Like Us singer had no “control” over the selection and he didn’t hold him accountable for his disappointment.
"He didn't let me down, it ain't like he can control it… That’s actually him expressing… you know a heart… and showing he actually, he care," Wayne stated.
Weezy also shared he was a "fan" of K-Dot just like the latter was of him.
"He saw like everybody else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that's all he mean... He made it there... His hard work is the reason he made it there," Wayne added.
The Young Money Entertainment founder also mentioned hearing the lyrics of wacced out murals (from the latest surprise album, GNX) for the “first time” from the host and that he understood what Kendrick Lamar meant by it.
However, he also clarified that he was not going to be in the country during the Superbowl, so, there was no chance for a last-second appearance during the halftime show with K-Dot on the stage. Weezy also mentioned that he wanted to reach the point where he would be "undeniable" the next time such an opportunity came.
Lil Wayne’s latest comments come less than a month after he took to X and wrote on November 23:
“Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.”
Prior to that on September 14, Weezy took to Instagram and shared how being ignored for the Superbowl “hurt a lot.”
“I thought there was nothing better that spot, on that stage, on that platform. It broke me, but I’m just trying to put myself back together,” he shared reiterating his wish of playing at the halftime show several times over the years.
Weezy also thanked his fans, colleagues, and others for their “love and support” which “held me up when I tried to fall back.” He also shared that he blamed himself for “not being mentally prepared for a letdown,” but was trying to settle down and take control of his emotions.
Apart from name-dropping Lil Wayne in his song, Kendrick Lamar hasn't addressed the matter yet. The duo has earlier collaborated on the former's 2018 track, Mona Lisa.
Notably, during a 2022 interview with The Coveteur, K-Dot dubbed Lil Wayne as the "greatest" not just because of his "music" but also his "huge" impact on the hip-hop "culture." While Kendrick said he always held Weezy in "high regards," the latter returned the compliment by calling K-Dot "the real one" on X.
