Nicki Minaj Takes Shots at Jay-Z for Denying Lil Wayne Super Bowl Halftime Performance

Looks like Nicki Minaj is another person who is not happy with the fact that Lil Wayne is not performing at a Super Bowl Halftime that is taking place in New Orleans.

On Sunday, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the headliner of the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show at The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA on Sunday, February 9, 2025, airing on FOX and creative directed by pgLang. Many fans think that Weezy should have been the ultimate choice for the gig given its his hometown and the legendary rapper has been wanting to do the show for years.

Seems like Nicki thinks the same and isn’t happy that her mentor was ignored. She fired off a subliminal diss towards Jay-Z, alluding that his “hatred” for Birdman, Drake and herself influenced this decision. If you forgot, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is the programmer for the Halftime Show.

She also made a reference to the established theory that Hov didn’t want 50 Cent to perform at last year’s show alongside rest of the Aftermath/Shady camp and it was Eminem who stood his ground and insisted on bringing out 50 during his set.

Birdman has entered the chat as well.
