Lil Wayne's SNL 50 Performance Fuels Super Bowl Halftime Show Discussion

The rapper delivered a medley of hits with The Roots on SNL's 50th anniversary, reigniting conversations about his exclusion from the Super Bowl halftime show in his hometown.

Lil Wayne performed a career-spanning medley of hits, including 'Lollipop,' '6 Foot 7 Foot,' and 'A Milli,' during the SNL 50th Anniversary Special alongside The Roots.
The performance reignited social media discussions about his exclusion from the Super Bowl 59 halftime show earlier this month, held in his hometown of New Orleans.
Wayne had previously expressed disappointment over not being chosen, calling the missed opportunity deeply hurtful but wishing Kendrick Lamar success in the role.
The rapper used the week of the Super Bowl to announce his upcoming album, 'Tha Carter VI,' set for release on June 6, 2025, via a cheeky promotional campaign.
This marks Lil Wayne's fourth appearance as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live, following performances in 2008, 2010, and 2018.
