In September, the NFL announced that Kendrick Lamar had been selected to headline halftime of Super Bowl LIX. The decision comes months after Lamar and Drake’s long-standing conflict reached a breaking point, leading to multiple feuds. Wayne had earlier said he was “hurt” by the NFL and Roc Nation’s decision.
“I don’t think there’s anything better than that place, that stage, that platform in my city. So it hurts, it hurts… it breaks my heart,” he said.
