In a striking revelation, hip-hop legend Lil Wayne has declared he will never grace the Super Bowl's halftime stage after feeling overlooked for this year's performance.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, the 42-year-old rapper articulated his disappointment over not being chosen for the high-profile event that took place in his beloved New Orleans. "They stole that feeling," he lamented, emphasizing that he has no desire to perform at the Super Bowl in the future.

Wayne shared that instead of watching the halftime show headlined by Kendrick Lamar, he opted to play pool with friend and fellow artist Lil Twist. "Every time I looked, it was nothing that made me want to go inside and see what was going on," he said, clearly unenthused.

In the lead-up to the Super Bowl, Wayne made efforts to immerse himself in elite social events, even attending exclusive parties hosted by Michael Rubin and mingling with NFL star Tom Brady, all with hopes of securing the coveted halftime spot. "You ain't never seen me in them types of venues. I ain’t Drake. I’m in the studio, smokin' and recording," he explained.

The disappointment bubbled over when Kendrick Lamar was announced as the headliner months earlier. On Instagram, Wayne confessed, "I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown... I thought there was nothing better than that stage in my city. So it hurt, it hurt a whole lot." He later revealed that he felt the Super Bowl opportunity had been 'ripped away' from him.

Adding fuel to the fire, Lamar acknowledged the controversy in a track from his album "GNX," rapping, "I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down." In a surprising twist, Wayne later reached out to Kendrick, wishing him well for his performance.

Despite confirming he wouldn’t attend the Super Bowl, Wayne took the stage just a week later at the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live," proving his talent and presence remain undisputed.

As Lil Wayne stands firm in his decision, fans are left wondering: will we ever see him at the Super Bowl? Only time will tell!
