Following the announcement, Nicki Minaj was no longer shy about expressing her disdain for Hov and expressed her support for Lil Wayne in a series of posts on X.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar appeared to take another jab at Weezy signee Drake in a promo announcing that he will headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show — —The show will take place on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
“Rap music remains the most influential genre of music ever created,” Lamar said in an official statement. “I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right guy.
In addition to the group’s announcement in partnership with Apple and JAY-Z’s Roc Nation, the former TDE rapper also shared a clip from the film on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and YouTube.
In the video, Kendrick practices with an unseen receiver off-screen. After a few passes, backed by coaching and praise for his players, he shared the big news and subtly referenced his feud with Drake earlier this summer.
“My name is Kendrick Lamar and I’m going to be performing at Super Bowl 59,” he began. “Will you pull up? I hope so! You know this is just a chance to win a championship; there are no two rounds. I don’t want you to miss it. Meet me in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.
The line “No Turn Two” appears to be a direct callback to a post Drizzy made via his Burner account two weeks ago, when he was in the midst of a flurry of new releases.
Drizzy shared a clip of former Detroit Pistons star Rasheed Wallace’s famous interview that seemed to show he was preparing for the second round, in which he guaranteed the team would win Game 2 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals Beat the Indiana Pacers.
