Snoop Dogg recently addressed the growing controversy surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne’s involvement, or lack thereof, in the upcoming Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show. While appearing on Nightcap with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, the legendary rapper shared his thoughts, opting to focus on the broader significance of Hip-Hop’s presence in mainstream entertainment.
As a performer at Super Bowl 56 alongside Dr. Dre and other Hip-Hop icons, Snoop took the opportunity to remind viewers how far the genre has come in the NFL’s spotlight. “I don’t really have an opinion on it,” Snoop stated, before adding, “but remember where Hip-Hop stood in the NFL 15 years ago. How many artists from our culture got that stage back then?”
Snoop further reflected on his deep connections with both Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar. Having watched Lil Wayne grow from a young talent into a rap titan, Snoop called him “the GOAT of New Orleans rap.” Though Wayne expressed disappointment in not being chosen to perform in his hometown, Snoop maintained a neutral position, saying, “Me and Wayne, me and Kendrick, me and Jay-Z—we’re family. I don’t know who makes the decisions, but I’ll be watching the show like everybody else.”
Much of the controversy stems from Lil Wayne’s public reaction to being left out of the Super Bowl Halftime Show, especially since the event is set in New Orleans. In a heartfelt video, Wayne admitted the decision “broke” him. Fans speculated that Jay-Z, who has a hand in NFL entertainment decisions, might have influenced the outcome. Executive producer Jesse Collins later confirmed Jay-Z’s involvement in the selection process.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar has remained silent on the matter, opting instead to release an untitled track on Instagram, creating buzz around his highly anticipated performance in February.
As the Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show approaches, the debate over who should headline and why will likely continue. However, Snoop Dogg’s diplomatic stance reminds us of the real triumph: Hip-Hop’s evolving presence on one of the world’s grandest stages. Despite the controversy, the significance of Hip-Hop headlining the Super Bowl remains a testament to how far the genre has come
