Drake Allegedly Finds Humor in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Performance News
With Kendrick Lamar officially confirmed as the Halftime Show performer for this year’s Super Bowl, many are dissecting the decision. The most glaring point of debate? Lil Wayne being passed over once again.
Fans are particularly upset since the championship game will take place in New Orleans—a city where Wayne has deep roots. This marks the third time in 22 years that the game is held there, yet Wayne remains absent from the Super Bowl stage.
The question remains: why was he overlooked, and how does this affect the ongoing tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar?

The feud between Drake and Lamar has been a hot topic all year. Recently, the Canadian rapper seemed to be throwing subtle jabs at Kendrick, hinting at a possible "round two" of their rivalry.
However, Lamar's response to this seemed clear, particularly in his Super Bowl announcement video.
"You know it's only one opportunity to win a championship. No round two's".
This line felt like a direct response to Drake’s comments, signaling that Lamar has no interest in further fueling the feud.
Since that moment, Drake has stayed quiet, not offering any public reaction to Lamar's Super Bowl headliner spot.
However, according to MAL from the "New Rory & MAL" podcast, there’s more to the story.
MAL hinted that he recently had a casual conversation with Drake, where the Super Bowl announcement came up. When co-host Rory pressed him for details on the chat, MAL hesitated to reveal too much.
What he did share was intriguing:
"A lot of it was just laughing, man. It's just like 'word this is what y'all want to see? Like okay'"

Based on MAL’s comments, it seems Drake might not be thrilled with Lamar’s selection, and there’s a sense of amusement or disbelief in his reaction.
MAL himself is clearly on Team Drizzy, standing firm in his belief that Lamar wasn’t the best choice for the Super Bowl stage.
Rory and other podcast hosts disagreed, using Nicki Minaj’s massive popularity to argue that Kendrick has plenty of supporters online.
