Cam’ron Blames JAY-Z For Lil Wayne Super Bowl Snub
Cam’ron isn’t pleased with Lil Wayne being handed over because the headliner of subsequent 12 months’s Super Bowl halftime present in New Orleans — and believes JAY-Z is guilty.
Speaking on his sports activities speak present It Is What It Is on Monday (September 9), the Dipset rapper shared his unfiltered ideas on the NFL’s resolution to e-book Kendrick Lamar to carry out at Super Bowl LIX.
He started by singing Ok. Dot’s praises, saying: “Listen, I love Kendrick Lamar, I love the Pop Out. I think he’s one of the top artist of this generation, period,” earlier than bluntly admitting: “Hate the selection.”
“It’s in New Orleans and you don’t get Lil Wayne? That’s what we doing? You don’t get Lil Wayne in New Orleans for the Super Bowl? It’s no reason why Lil Wayne should not be performing at the Super Bowl,” Cam added.
The Harlem native then pointed the finger at his former Roc-A-Fella boss JAY-Z, who has helped arrange the Super Bowl since 2020 because the NFL’s stay music leisure strategist.
“It’s one person who’s stopping this. It’s not really a secret,” he continued, albeit with out naming names. “Lil Wayne had a problem with somebody before who’s kinda part of the organization running it. This is payback. Who’s Lil Wayne’s artist? Drake. This is crazy, bro. It’s ridiculous.”
He concluded by emphasizing his level as soon as extra: “Lil Wayne not to be performing in New Orleans for the Super Bowl is egregious, and it gotta stop.”
Cam’ron’s co-host Ma$e was extra supportive of the choice, saying: “I think it’s a great opportunity for him to bring the Pop Out to the Super Bowl. That would really be crazy. If you really want to make a statement, Kendrick, bring the Pop Out out on stage, bring every California artist that was at that show.”
Cam’ron was referencing Lil Wayne and JAY-Z’s rivalry within the late 2000s and early 2010s which was sparked by a hungry younger Weezy vying for Jigga’s Best Rapper Alive crown.
Birdman famously ruffled feathers in 2009 when he took concern with Hov being named MTV’s Hottest MC within the Game, claiming that Wayne deserved the nod as a result of, amongst different causes, he “makes the most money.”

That prompted some lyrical sparring between the Cash Money and Roc Nation titans, with financial- and family-related jabs being thrown on “H.A.M.,” “It’s Good” and “La Familia.”
However, mutual respect at all times existed between the 2 and they seem like agency buddies nowadays, with Wayne and Jay reuniting on DJ Khaled‘s Grammy-nominated “God Did” last year.
Hov even once helped Weezy pay off an almost $8 million tax bill, as the “A Milli” hitmaker revealed during a 2018 show.
As for the Super Bowl snub, Lil Wayne has yet to comment on the matter himself but one of his closest collaborators has seemingly voiced his frustrations.
Posting on his Instagram Stories, the rapper’s longtime engineer Fabian Marasciullo wrote: “Confused. Disappointed. Angry. But most of all. Inspired. Will never again be in a position or have the [goat emoji] in a position where we are at the mercy of someone else’s decision. We will make the decisions.”
Wayne had been vocal about his need to headline subsequent 12 months’s Super Bowl given it takes place in his hometown of New Orleans.
