Nicki Minaj is weighing on the ongoing debate surrounding the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2025.
Kendrick Lamar excited many yesterday (September 8), when he announced that he is headlining the Apple Music-sponsored spectacle in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.
However, some corners of the internet bemoaned Lil Wayne not being picked given that the Big Game will take place in his hometown. For said folk, the hope was for Weezy to rock Halftime alongside fellow Young Money and Cash Money stars.
Now, Minaj has shared her two cents on the matter. And she didn’t hold back.
Full story below…
Remarking on the Halftime Show, which is curated and produced by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, Minaj hissed:
“Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out. A white man. Sh*t sad. House N*GGER TINGZ. but it’s GOOD FI DEM!!!!!!! No loyalty ? Welp. then n*ggaz will keep son’ing you!!!!! #DTLR #GagCityDC LMFAOOOOOOOOOO GOODAZ FI DEL GAL U AH GOODAZ FI DEM.”
Minaj added:
“And btw, you don’t know the half of what lil Wayne has done for me & others. Wayne had drake & I on his tour w/no papers signed. He was on all of my mixtapes w/no papers signed. This man has literally changed the FACE of hip hop. The hair too. IYKYK. He inspired so many to tat their faces & get locks. Inspired your faves to wanna be a great MC. he never was in this for the money. It’s always been for the love of music.”
Concluding, she tweeted:
“One n*gga took a knee The other n*gga took the bag. He gon get you “n*ggers” in line every f*kng time.”
