New Orleans, LA – The National Football League (NFL) has expressed regret over its decision to choose Kendrick Lamar as the halftime performer for this year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, according to a league employee.
The employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, admitted that the NFL made a mistake by not choosing Lil Wayne, a native of New Orleans, for the high-profile gig. “Lil Wayne should have been the first option,” the employee said. “He’s from New Orleans, and we know he had a clear motivation to do a unique show in his hometown.”
Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Caesars Superdome sparked controversy, with some fans branding it “the worst Super Bowl halftime show ever.” The NFL’s decision to choose Lamar over Lil Wayne was seen as a snub, particularly given Lil Wayne’s strong ties to the city.
Sports commentator Skip Bayless revealed that the NFL sent a letter of apology to Lil Wayne after the decision was announced, acknowledging the mistake and expressing regret. Bayless said that Lil Wayne was “devastated” by the snub and had been looking forward to performing in his hometown.
The NFL has vowed to make more thoughtful choices for future halftime performers, taking into account the location and cultural significance of the event. “We learned a valuable lesson,” an NFL employee said. “We need to make sure that our choices are more thoughtful and considerate of the local community.”
