As The Shade Room previously reported, Lil Wayne began making headlines alongside the Super Bowl in September. At the time, Kendrick Lamar had been announced as the headliner of the event’s halftime show.
Furthermore, Wayne’s manager and engineer, Fabian Marasciullo, reacted to the announcement by sharing his disappointment, per The Shade Room.
Later that month, Wayne broke his silence on the topic and shared that he felt he let his fans down by “not getting that opportunity.” Additionally, the rapper expressed feeling “hurt” about not being chosen as headliner, per The Shade Room.
