Joe Budden’s Co-Host Goes After Lil Wayne For Acting “Entitled” About The Super Bowl Halftime Show

by

Joe Budden and his podcast co-hosts discussed the legitimacy of Lil Wayne’s grievances with the NFL after the rapper claimed to have the headlining spot at the Super Bowl Halftime Show “ripped” from him during his appearance at Lil WeezyAna Fest 2024. Despite the next Super Bowl taking place in Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans, Kendrick Lamar will be performing at the event.

“I don’t like when he says this was snatched from me. I don’t like that… We never saw anything where they said you had the Super Bowl. So, what is snatched from you? It was assumed by you and a lot of your fans and a lot of the public,” Ice said on the show. “… That’s not snatched away. That’s entitlement.”

From there, Budden countered that he believes Wayne’s assumption must be based on something behind the scenes. “I think he definitely spoke to Hov or somebody on that board that’s in charge of that, I think they may have told him– laid out a guideline of things that the person they pick has to accomplish and do. I think he might’ve went about trying to check some of the things off that list and maybe he didn’t like how he found out the news that Kendrick was performing.”

Jermaine Dupri Couldn’t Believe Drake Missed Lil WeezyAna Fest For A Raptors Game

by

Jermaine Dupri couldn’t believe Drake skipped out on Lil WeezyAna Fest to be in attendance for the Toronto Raptors’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night. He expressed his shock at the move on X (formerly Twitter). “I cant believe drake missed that,” Dupri wrote. “Couldn’t have been me.”

Dupri isn’t the only one who criticized Drake for not making an appearance. Fans in his replies joined in as well. “Me neither … this was a big moment for young money cash money. Him at a basket ball game instead of with them kind of drove me the wrong way man. That wasn’t very hip hop,” one user responded. Another wrote: “Why it’s good he wasn’t there and let Turk bg juvenile and the rest hot boys shine. If he would have been there everyone would have flipped the narrative and said he ruined the moment and bunch of other made up bs narratives.” Others noted that Drake serves as a “Global Ambassador” for the Raptors and it was thus important for him to be present for Vince Carter’s jersey retirement ceremony.

While in attendance at the Raptors’ game, Drake made headlines for dissing DeMar DeRozan, the former Raptor who appeared in the music video for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Labeling him a “goof,” Drake joked on the broadcast: “If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself.”

Reginae Carter Praises Her Dad Lil Wayne Again Amid Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Debate

by

Lil Wayne is still getting love and dismissal from many hip-hop and pop culture corners over the Super Bowl halftime show controversy. When Kendrick Lamar announced his headlining slot in New Orleans next year, many fans felt that Tunechi deserved it instead, a notion bolstered by K.Dot’s Drake battle. However, we’re starting to see folks shift the conversation to the most important parts of this whole debate: commending each artist for their greatness and giving Wayne the flowers he deserves. His daughter Reginae Carter recently spoke out about this whole thing, trying to shift gears to a more celebratory and supportive narrative.

“Lil weezyana fest is gone be so lit this year!” Reginae Carter wrote of her father Lil Wayne’s New Orleans festival later in 2024. “My dad brings this to his hometown every year to make his fans and supporters proud! Let’s Focus on the positive and things we can control [red heart emoji]. Let’s talk about how he sold out in a day ‼” No matter where you stand on the Super Bowl debate, we have much more useful ways to show support.

Reginae Carter Hypes Up Lil Wayne’s Festival

“They envy greatness !!!!” Reginae Carter initially seemed to express regarding the Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne debate. By this point, anyone happy or mad about the final decision has plenty of different reasons to feel how they feel. As such, we don’t really know where Reginae directs her previous frustration and current focus on positivity. Is it against Kendrick and pgLang for taking advantage of this opportunity? Is it against Jay-Z and the NFL for capitalizing on it? Or is it at fans who turned this choice into a competition of who can disrespect the other MC more?

Regardless, there’s a lot more to say about the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show. We’re sure we will hear more connective tissue in the road to February, as we have plenty of chances for new music or statements until then from any party. No matter how Reginae Carter would characterize the Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar debate, she’s right in emphasizing the need to be supportive and hopeful. Greatness doesn’t find you: you find it.
