Jay-Z Ignored Lil Wayne Because Of His Hate For Me And Birdman – Nicki Minaj

Popular rapper, Nicki Minaj has come out to blast Jay-Z after Kendrick Lamar was selected as the headliner of the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show instead of her former record label boss, Lil Wayne.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, Jay-Z did what he did because of his hate for her and Birdman, and it is a shame that he denied Lil Wayne what is rightfully his because of his ego.

Nicki added that Wayne has impacted the Hip-Hop world with his talent and his grace brought rap greats like herself and Drake into the spotlight.

Her words, “Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for Birdman, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?! Lil Wayne! The GOAT! Nola, what’s good?!

Eminem stood firm on having 50 Cent come out. A white man. Sh*t sad. House n*gger timz. but it’s good fi dem! No loyalty? Welp. then n*ggaz will keep son’ing you!”

WOW.
