*Goldenvoice, the organizer of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, approached Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna about headlining the music event in 2025, but both artists allegedly declined the offers. 

Revolt reports that Lamar is planning a stadium tour after his hotly anticipated halftime performance at Super Bowl LIX in February. We reported earlier that the event will take place in New Orleans on February 9 but fans believe hometown hero Lil Wayne deserves the performance spot. Rappers Nicki Minaj, Lil Boosie, and Master P are among those who believed a local artist should have been the headliner for the show. 

In a statement shared on social media, Master P wrote, “Salute to @kendricklamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX… well deserved, he’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now.”

He added, “As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans, I have to agree with the fans that @liltunechi #LilWayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant, and he’s a New Orleans native.”

Lil Wayne also reacted to being passed over for the halftime show, noting that he’s “hurt” over the situation.

“That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot,” the rapper said.

“I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown. And for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blame myself for that,” Weezy continued.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent said Kendrick “deserves” to headline the 2025 Super Bowl.

During a recent episode of CBS talk show “The Talk,” 50 Cent said, “I mean, it was a choice. I think Kendrick deserves [it].

“As a solo artist right now, he’s the guy,” he continued, The Independent reports. “Having the game be in New Orleans, I could see why they got the Wayne [idea].”
