Cam'ron thinks the NFL should've chosen Lil Wayne to headline Super Bowl LIX, considering the game is being held in New Orleans. He shared his take on Kendrick Lamar serving as the headliner during an episode of It Is What It Is after the league made the announcement on Sunday. He began by clarifying that he is a fan of Lamar and means no disrespect before going after JAY-Z.
“I love Kendrick Lamar, I loved the pop-out," Cam started. "I think he’s one of the top artists of this generation, period. Hate the selection. It’s in New Orleans, and you don’t get Lil Wayne? That’s what we doing…not just Hot Boyz, Cash Money, all the songs Lil Wayne has done, whether it’s Blink 182…there’a no reason why Lil Wayne should not be performing at the Super Bowl.”

From there, Cam further accused JAY-Z of being the person responsible for stopping Wayne from performing. “It’s not really a secret. Lil Wayne had a problem with somebody before who’s kinda part of the organization running it. This is payback,” he stated. After Mase chimed in to note Wayne and Drake's connection, Cam added: “Bro, it’s ridiculous…Lil Wayne not to be performing in New Orleans for the Super Bowl is egregious, and it gotta stop.” JAY-Z and Roc Nation are serving as strategic entertainment advisors for the performance. In a statement of his own, JAY praised Lamar for his "artistic vision" and said his "impact will be felt for years to come.”
