Lil Wayne’s Engineer Is Frustrated Over Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Selection; DEETS

As a lifestyle expert with over two decades of experience in the music industry, I find myself deeply saddened by the NFL’s decision to invite Kendrick Lamar instead of Lil Wayne to perform at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, particularly since it will be held in New Orleans – Wayne’s hometown.


Fabian Marasciullo, who has worked with Lil Wayne for a long time as an engineer, expressed disappointment upon hearing that Kendrick Lamar is set to perform during the Super Bowl Half Time Show in 2025.

Fans and industry experts are disheartened that Lil Wayne, a native of New Orleans, hasn’t been given the chance to perform in his hometown during the upcoming event, especially since it will be held at the Caesars Superdome, a venue that carries significant weight for his supporters.

People who support Lil Wayne and those connected to the music industry swiftly voiced their displeasure upon hearing that Kendrick Lamar, a significant name in hip-hop, was chosen as the headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl Half time show instead of Lil Wayne.

A significant number of Wayne’s followers felt let down by the choice, as they thought the 41-year-old hip-hop artist, known for his strong connection to New Orleans, would take the stage in his home city.

Many people on social media expressed similar opinions, stating that Wayne’s long-standing connection to New Orleans should have earned him a spot in the event. For numerous fans, it would have been a chance to celebrate the rapper’s career on a grand scale, as the Super Bowl is one of the most viewed events globally.

Among those expressing their views was Fabian Marasciullo, a long-term collaborator of Lil Wayne, who has worked with him for years and contributed to some of his famous tracks such as ‘Go D.J.’ from Tha Carter in 2004. On Instagram, Marasciullo voiced his disappointment with the NFL’s decision, expressing feelings of confusion, dismay, and anger.

In a post on Instagram Stories, Marasciullo expressed feelings of bewilderment, dismay, and irritation, but above all, he was inspired. He continued by stating that Wayne’s career isn’t influenced by choices made by others. Emphasizing their agency, he concluded, “It’s up to us to decide,” suggesting that the rapper will have greater control over future prospects.

Marasciullo’s message additionally featured Lil Wayne’s popular track “Right Above It” from his 2010 album “I Am Not a Human Being,” suggesting a profound level of discontent in the post.

Lil Wayne has openly expressed his aspiration to lead the Super Bowl Half-time performance. During an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report last December, he made it clear that he is eager for this opportunity. He mentioned that performing at the Super Bowl in his hometown would be a significant milestone in his career.

Despite not having received an official invitation for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, it’s no secret that the rapper harbors this dream. In fact, as early as this year, he expressed his hopes to perform during the 2025 game, which will take place in his hometown of New Orleans, where he has been fervently praying for the chance.
