Lil Wayne has set his sights on a monumental goal: to perform at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, ideally in his hometown of New Orleans. The esteemed rapper shared his aspirations during an appearance on the 4HUNNID podcast hosted by YG and Stevie, where he expressed his hope and determination to take the stage for one of the most watched events in the world.
While acknowledging that he has yet to receive an official invitation, Lil Wayne remains optimistic, stating, “We praying. We keeping our fingers crossed. I’m working hard. I’mma make sure this next album and everything I do is killer. I wanna just make it hard for them not to holler at the boy.” His ambitious statement reflects not only his desire to perform but also his commitment to excellence in his upcoming projects, aiming to make an undeniable case for his inclusion in the halftime lineup.
Lil Wayne, drawing inspiration from Rihanna’s impressive track record of performances, hinted at his readiness to deliver a show of similar caliber and appeal. “I could be like RiRi. RiRi came out there and just went from year to year to year to year to year,” he said, highlighting the potential for a memorable and impactful performance.
As the conversation unfolds, speculation arises about whether Jay-Z, who has been instrumental in selecting artists for the Super Bowl halftime show through Roc Nation’s partnership with the NFL, might extend an invitation to the New Orleans native. Lil Wayne’s mention of Jay-Z, referred to colloquially as “Hov,” sparks discussions about the possibility of such a collaboration.
