The Apple Music Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show plans are already in full swing, as the league announced that Kendrick Lamar would headline the February event in New Orleans.
Master P was one of the dissenting voices who felt native should be the lead act for the show. P, an influential rapper, entrepreneur, and fellow New Orleans native, added his voice to the chorus advocating for hometown hero Lil Wayne. In a statement shared on social media, Master P both praised Lamar and urged the NFL to include Lil Wayne in the halftime festivities. Master P’s plea is a reminder of the cultural significance of Lil Wayne not just to New Orleans but to the broader Hip-Hop landscape. Master P ended, “We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here.” He also tagged Jay-Z and the Mayor of New Orleans LaToya Cantrell.
