More recently, it has been announced by the organizers of Super Bowl LIX ā€“ the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation ā€“ that Kendrick Lamar will be the headliner for the halftime show in 2025. Subsequently, Nicki Minaj voiced her displeasure towards Jay Z and Roc Nation, as they chose not to include Lil Wayne in the New Orleans event.

On Monday, Minaj used her platform (previously Twitter) to critique Jay Z. In a series of posts, she commented, “Go and enjoy your wealth before it’s too late … One man knelt, the other took the deal. He’ll always get you in line every time.” She also stated that even with all the riches in the world, Jay Z remains “wicked” and “despicable.

Before facing criticism over Jay Z’s laughter, the singer argued that the backing of politicians and law enforcement gives him an advantage in the music industry. “Go be happily n***a!!!!!! In rap business. In women business. When you have the Politicians & the police, you’re good. Plus that ugly laughy taffy alien … LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO,” Minaj further stated in another post.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “Nicki Minaj, speaking her mind, pointed fingers at Jay Z, claiming he deliberately left out Lil Wayne from the Super Bowl lineup because of his perceived ego and animosity towards me, Drake, and BIRDMAN. Frankly, I couldn’t fathom why he wouldn’t give a fellow New Orleans native like Wayne the spotlight at such a massive event.

Contrary to what might be perceived, Nicki Minaj doesn’t harbor any grudges against Kendrick Lamar. In fact, she openly expresses admiration and support for him. As shown in her tweets, she even acknowledges that every genuine rapper admires and respects Lil Wayne. She simply wished for Lil Wayne to be part of the event since he has been a significant inspiration and has significantly impacted hip-hop music.
