<p>The news caused a stir on social media among fans of both artists, as many had hoped and expected <strong>Lil Wayne to be named the main performer</strong> at the historic event.</p>



<p>Being the main performer at the halftime show is an unforgettable moment that can define an artist’s career, especially when the Super Bowl is held in their hometown. For this reason, it was believed that Lil Wayne, born in New Orleans, <strong>had a strong chance</strong> of being confirmed for the show.</p>

<h2>When and where will Super Bowl 2025 be held?</h2>



<p>Super Bowl LIX will take place on <strong>February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome </strong>in New Orleans and will be broadcast on FOX.</p>



<h2>Previous Super Bowl appearance of Kendrick Lamar</h2>



<p>Lamar performed at SoFi Stadium during Super Bowl 2022, joining other artists in a rap tribute. The performance won an EMMY for ‘Outstanding Variety Special (Live).’</p>
