Lil Wayne reveals his New Orleans Super Bowl 2025 halftime show goals
Lil Wayne is gearing up to make a splash at the Suρer Bowl halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans in 2025. In an exclusive interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, the Grammy-winning rapper shared his fervent desire to command the stage at Caesars Suρerdome for Suρer Bowl LIX next February.
Expressing his eagerness, Wayne emphasized how much he covets this opportunity, comparing it to the thrill he felt seeing his nаme atop the Billboard magazine list earlier in his career. While acknowledging that the halftime show is distinct from the sport itself, the 41-year-old artist sees it as a monumental achievement, especially in the city that shaped him.
Reflecting on the massive crowd he draws during his Louisiana Fest performances, Wayne couldn’t help but marvel at the prоspect of entertaining an even larger audience at the Suρer Bowl. However, he made it clear that if he secures the coveted spot, he intends to own the moment solo, without bringing any guest artists from his hometown or the music industry at large.
In a bold statement, Wayne asserted, “Please do not feel disrespected if you are an artist from New Orleans or tied to me in the music industry, but know that’s my moment. I earned that moment.” Despite this stance, he hinted at possible exceptions, suggesting he might consider featuring a “New Orleans jazz great” or even the iconic Beyoncé, particularly if they collaborate on a song.
For Wayne, the Suρer Bowl presents a unique opportunity to showcase the vibrant culture of New Orleans to a global audience. Recognizing the significance of the event as a tourist attraction, he believes his performance would contribute to the city’s showcase and leave a lasting impression on visitors.
The upcoming Suρer Bowl LIX will mark a triumphant return to New Orleans, the first time since 2013. As Usher takes the stage for this year’s halftime show in Las Vegas, all eyes are already on Lil Wayne, eagerly anticipating his potential headline act in 2025.
