Juvenile is the latest person in the hip-hop community to chime in on the situation.
Juvenile goes off about Lil Wayne not being chosen to perform at Super Bowl Halftime Show: 'My Hatred Is Toward the NFL'
The Cash Money and Hot Boys member Juvenile joined Birdman, Master P and Nicki Minaj in expressing frustration over Lil Wayne not being chosen for the NFL Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans.
During an Instagram video, On Monday (September 9), Juvenile addressed the NFL in a different way from others. The 49-year-old New Orleans legend made it clear that his disappointment lies with the NFL rather than with Lamar, Jay-Z, or Roc Nation.
"So, everybody want me to speak on this Super Bowl situation," he began. "Look, I'm mad about the situation just like y'all man. But look, my hatred is toward the NFL. Not really the people who booked the halftime show. I'm mad at the people who hired the motherfuckers who booked the halftime show. I feel like y'all should step in. Ya'll booked 11 Super Bowls in New Orleans. Y'all have yet to put a hip-hop act from New Orleans on the dam Super Bowl."
He added, "I feel like every time y'all come here y'all should put somebody from our city on the shit." Juvenile went on to explain that while this issue isn't something new that "this time it hit hard when you don't have Lil Wayne on the show."
"How the fuck y'all don't have Lil Wayne doing the halftime show?" the New Orleans native questioned. Juvenile also said that Wayne has a ton of hits and has more than earned the opportunity to perform during the halftime show.
Juvenile then called out NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, saying that he "needs to get it right." The rapper concluded his video by describing Lil Wayne as "somebody that really deserves it" and "somebody who can bring out multiple artists from all genres."
Many believe Lil Wayne should have been selected to headline Super Bowl LIX since it's taking place in New Orleans. Earlier this week, Birdman took to X to seemingly share his disappointment that Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Drake are not playing the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans next February.
Lil Wayne himself has previously expressed a strong desire to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.
