‘Can’t Stand His Voice’ : Some Viewers Refuse to Watch Super Bowl 2025 Because of This Singer

Super Bowl LIX, set for February 9, 2025, will feature Kendrick Lamar as the halftime headliner, with SZA joining him for the performance. While many fans are excited about the duo, others are disappointed, especially in Louisiana, where Lil Wayne, a local rap legend, expressed his emotional reaction to being overlooked for the spot. In an Instagram video, Wayne shared his hurt and disappointment, reflecting on the significance of performing in his hometown. Lamar, aware of Wayne’s feelings, subtly addressed the situation in his album GNX. Despite the mixed reactions, the Super Bowl will also showcase Louisiana talent, including Jon Batiste, Lauren Daigle, Trombone Shorty, and Ledisi. The event promises to celebrate the state’s musical legacy, even as debates about the halftime show continue.
