Big Freedia Expresses Sympathy for Lil Wayne’s Struggles in New Orleans, Looks Forward to Super Bowl Appearance

In a recent appearance on ‘The TMZ Podcast,’ Big Freedia opened up about the disappointment felt throughout New Orleans over Lil Wayne’s absence from the Super Bowl halftime show lineup. As a native of the Big Easy, Wayne’s failure to snag the coveted spot has left the city buzzing with mixed emotions, particularly because he had been hopeful for the opportunity.

As speculation swirled about who would headline, Kendrick Lamar ultimately secured the spot, much to the dismay of many fans who were rooting for Wayne. Big Freedia, however, remains optimistic, suggesting that there might still be a chance for Wayne to share the stage with Kendrick come February. The excitement doesn’t end there; Freedia hinted at the potential for surprise cameos from iconic artists like Jay-Z and others affiliated with Cash Money and No Limit Records.

Further clarifications came from Super Bowl halftime producer Jesse Collins, affirming Jay-Z’s role in selecting the performers, putting to rest any conspiracy theories surrounding the decision-making process. While some locals, like rapper Dee-1, have voiced criticism over the choice of Kendrick as the headliner, the anticipation continues to build.

Fans can look forward to the return of Big Freedia’s reality show, ‘Big Freedia Means Business,’ premiering on October 2, promising more insights and entertainment from one of New Orleans’ most vibrant personalities. With a mix of nostalgia and excitement, the city prepares for a memorable Super Bowl experience, whether Wayne makes a surprise appearance or not.
