Amid ongoing legal tensions involving Kendrick Lamar and Drake, the National Football League (NFL) is reportedly considering replacing Kendrick Lamar with Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.
According to Media Take Out, the NFL has reached out to Lil Wayne’s team to explore this possibility, following a cease-and-desist letter sent by Drake’s lawyers warning the league to prevent Kendrick from defaming him during the performance.
The issue stems from Drake’s legal concerns that Kendrick Lamar might perform 'Not Like Us' at the Super Bowl, a song that could exacerbate tensions between the two. Sources close to the NFL have revealed that the league is scrambling to manage the situation, with its legal department reportedly in disarray over the matter. As a result, the NFL is said to be working on contingency plans, with Lil Wayne emerging as a potential replacement for Kendrick, although no official confirmation has been made.
This development has sparked a public dispute between the two rappers. Kendrick, frustrated by assumptions that his performance would focus on Drake, is reportedly rethinking his Super Bowl set. While he initially considered including Drake and Lil Wayne as surprise guests, he is now contemplating a performance centered entirely on his own material, with no references to the ongoing conflict.
The controversy is further fueled by the fact that the Super Bowl is set to take place in New Orleans, Lil Wayne’s hometown. Fans have noticed Wayne’s absence from the official lineup, with some speculating that tensions between the two rappers may be at the root of the situation. Kendrick addressed the issue directly in his opening track 'Wacced Out Murals', where he taunted Lil Wayne, referencing their rivalry and the competition for the Halftime Show slot.
Lil Wayne (42) has since responded to Kendrick’s jab by taking to X (formerly Twitter), calling for peace while warning Kendrick to avoid further conflict. In a message shared with his followers, Wayne urged others not to disturb him, promising he would defend himself if necessary.
The rapper also expressed his disappointment at being overlooked for the Halftime Show in a heartfelt Instagram video posted on September 13, where he explained how much it hurt to be excluded from such a high-profile performance in his own city.
Kendrick Lamar (37), for his part, has yet to directly respond to Wayne’s comments, but tensions between the two remain high. As the NFL navigates these complex dynamics, fans and industry insiders continue to watch closely, eager to see how the situation will unfold in the lead-up to Super Bowl LIX.

Lil wayne CAN NOT PERFORM!
Those clips from his own festival were horrible!!
The NFL would get cooked online and by karens if that's the half-time product they give the world!!
Foh
And I love Wayne's music, but dude is not working with a full deck and his performances as of late have been trash
I think Eminem stans are bad, but in their defense, Eminem does write his own shit and has always paid respect to the originators. Drake fans are like Trump supporters. No matter what he does, they'll go along with it, and twist reality to fit their bias. No fan of rap music would say Drake won that beef against Kendrick, and I feel that grown men who adamantly defend Drake aren't really fans of rap music.
Yea ok sure…Y'all seen this sh!t... Take it with a grain of salt

‘Squabble Up’ Debuts Atop Hot 100, as Kendrick Lamar Lands Entire Top Five
Lamar joins only Taylor Swift, Drake and The Beatles in having ranked at Nos. 1-5 in a single week.By Gary Trust
12/2/2024
As Kendrick Lamar’s new LP, GNX, blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the superstar rapper rules the Billboard Hot 100 songs survey, where the set’s “Squabble Up” likewise launches at the summit.
The track becomes Lamar’s fifth Hot 100 No. 1, and his third of 2024 – the most among all artists this year. He previously led in 2024 with “Not Like Us,” for two weeks beginning in May, and “Like That,” with Future and Metro Boomin, for three weeks in April.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200
12/01/2024Lamar sweeps the Hot 100’s top five with four more debuts from GNX: “TV Off” (featuring Lefty Gunplay), “Luther” (with SZA), “Wacced Out Murals” and “Hey Now” (featuring Dody6) at Nos. 2-5, respectively. He joins only Taylor Swift, Drake and The Beatles in having placed at Nos. 1-5 in a single week.
Lamar also debuts in the Hot 100’s top 10 with fellow GNX tracks “Reincarnated” (No. 8) and “Man at the Garden” (No. 9), swelling his career count to 22 top 10 hits.
Below Lamar’s top five Hot 100 arrivals, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” falls to No. 6 a week after it logged a record-equaling 19th week at No. 1. Over the chart’s 66-year history, it remains tied for the longest reign with Lil Nas X’s 2019 smash “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.
Plus, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” again decorates the Hot 100’s top 10, dashing 16-10. The modern classic, from 1994, has reigned for 14 total weeks dating to its first frame at the apex in 2019.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Dec. 7, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Dec. 3). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200
Plus: the "Wicked" movie soundtrack arrives at No. 2.By Keith Caulfield
Kendrick LamarDave Free
Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album GNX debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Dec. 7), marking his fifth chart-topper, all earned consecutively. It launches with 319,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 28, according to Luminate — the year’s sixth-largest debut frame. The set’s opening week was largely driven by streaming activity, and the 12-song effort launches with 2024’s third-biggest streaming week for any album. GNX arrived with no warning on Nov. 22 around noon ET.

See latest videos, charts and newsAlso in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, the Wicked film soundtrack enters at No. 2, notching the highest debut for a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical ever. The new Wicked film, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, is based on the long-running stage musical of the same name, which has played on Broadway in New York since 2003.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Dec. 7, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Dec. 3). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of GNX’s 319,000 first-week equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 285,000 (equaling 379.72 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 12 songs; it debuts at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 32,000 (it was only available as a widely available standard digital download, in both a clean and explicit edition; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), and TEA units comprise 2,000.
GNX scores 2024’s sixth-largest opening week, by equivalent album units, among all albums. Further, with 379.72 million on-demand official streams generated by its songs, the album yields the year’s biggest streaming week for any R&B/hip-hop album. Further, among all albums, it logs the year’s second-biggest debut streaming week, and the year’s third-largest streaming week overall. (The year’s two bigger streaming weeks were the first and second weeks of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, with 891.37 and 428.54 million, respectively.)
Lamar previously led the Billboard 200 with Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022), DAMN. (2017), Untitled Unmastered (2016) and To Pimp a Butterfly (2015). Earlier in 2024, he nabbed a pair of No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart with his solo cut “Not Like Us” (in May), shortly after he led the list with the co-billed collaboration “Like That” (in April) with Future and Metro Boomin. Neither song is included on GNX.
GNX precedes Lamar headlining turn at the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 9, 2025, in New Orleans. He was announced as the star act of the festivities on Sept. 8. It will mark his second appearance at the halftime show, following the all-star 2022 hip-hop showcase with Dr. Dre at the helm.

The Wicked film soundtrack takes a bow at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the highest debut ever by a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical.
The last time a stage-to-screen musical soundtrack debuted in the top five was when Chicago danced in at No. 4 — over 21 years ago, on the Feb. 1, 2003 chart — on its way to a No. 2 peak a week later. Setting aside debut ranks, the last stage-to-screen movie musical soundtrack to reach the top two was Les Miserables, which spent a week at No. 1 on the Jan. 19, 2013-dated chart. (It debuted at No. 33, and then moved to No. 2 and No. 1 in its second and third weeks.)
ADVERTISEMENT
Among all soundtracks in 2024, Wicked is the second soundtrack to reach the top 10 for the first time this year, and the highest charting, following Twisters (No. 7 peak) in August.
Wicked launches with 139,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Nov. 28 — the biggest week for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born earned 143,000 units in its second week (Oct. 17, 2018, chart; down from its 162,000 bow). Wicked also logs the biggest week for any stage-to-screen musical soundtrack since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by equivalent album units in December 2014.
Of Wicked’s opening-week sum, album sales comprise 85,000 (it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales, SEA units comprise 52,000 (equaling 67.66 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks; it’s No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 2,000. With 67.66 million streams generated by its songs, Wicked has 2024’s biggest streaming week for any soundtrack, and the largest streaming week ever for a stage-to-screen musical film soundtrack.
Wicked’s first-week album sales score the largest sales week for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since A Star Is Born’s second week (86,000). Wicked has the largest debut sales week for a stage-to-screen musical film since Dreamgirls opened with 92,000 (Dec. 23, 2006 chart). The last time a stage-to-screen musical film soundtrack sold more than Wicked this past week was when Les Miserables reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 93,000 in its third chart week (Jan. 19, 2013, chart).
ADVERTISEMENT
Wicked’s opening week sales were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants (including a signed edition, autographed by Erivo and Grande), four CD variants (including a signed edition) and a standard digital download album.
Sabrina Carpenter‘s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet rises 5-3 on the Billboard 200 (69,000 equivalent album units; down 4%); Tyler, The Creator’s former No. 1 CHROMAKOPIA falls 3-4 (61,000; down 24%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft rounds out the top five, rising 9-5 with 50,000 (up 2%).
Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us steps 8-6 (48,000 equivalent album units; down 5%); Rauw Alejandro’s Cosa Nuestra falls 6-7 (44,000; down 35% in its second week); Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department climbs 11-8 (43,000; up 1%); Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time ascends 12-9 (42,000; up 2%); and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a non-mover at No. 10 (42,000; down 2%).

The Wicked film soundtrack takes a bow at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the highest debut ever by a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical.
The last time a stage-to-screen musical soundtrack debuted in the top five was when Chicago danced in at No. 4 — over 21 years ago, on the Feb. 1, 2003 chart — on its way to a No. 2 peak a week later. Setting aside debut ranks, the last stage-to-screen movie musical soundtrack to reach the top two was Les Miserables, which spent a week at No. 1 on the Jan. 19, 2013-dated chart. (It debuted at No. 33, and then moved to No. 2 and No. 1 in its second and third weeks.)

Among all soundtracks in 2024, Wicked is the second soundtrack to reach the top 10 for the first time this year, and the highest charting, following Twisters (No. 7 peak) in August.
Wicked launches with 139,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Nov. 28 — the biggest week for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born earned 143,000 units in its second week (Oct. 17, 2018, chart; down from its 162,000 bow). Wicked also logs the biggest week for any stage-to-screen musical soundtrack since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by equivalent album units in December 2014.
Of Wicked’s opening-week sum, album sales comprise 85,000 (it’s No. 1 on Top Album Sales, SEA units comprise 52,000 (equaling 67.66 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks; it’s No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise 2,000. With 67.66 million streams generated by its songs, Wicked has 2024’s biggest streaming week for any soundtrack, and the largest streaming week ever for a stage-to-screen musical film soundtrack.
Wicked’s first-week album sales score the largest sales week for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since A Star Is Born’s second week (86,000). Wicked has the largest debut sales week for a stage-to-screen musical film since Dreamgirls opened with 92,000 (Dec. 23, 2006 chart). The last time a stage-to-screen musical film soundtrack sold more than Wicked this past week was when Les Miserables reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 93,000 in its third chart week (Jan. 19, 2013, chart).

Wicked’s opening week sales were bolstered by its availability across six vinyl variants (including a signed edition, autographed by Erivo and Grande), four CD variants (including a signed edition) and a standard digital download album.
Sabrina Carpenter‘s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet rises 5-3 on the Billboard 200 (69,000 equivalent album units; down 4%); Tyler, The Creator’s former No. 1 CHROMAKOPIA falls 3-4 (61,000; down 24%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft rounds out the top five, rising 9-5 with 50,000 (up 2%).
Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us steps 8-6 (48,000 equivalent album units; down 5%); Rauw Alejandro’s Cosa Nuestra falls 6-7 (44,000; down 35% in its second week); Swift’s former leader The Tortured Poets Department climbs 11-8 (43,000; up 1%); Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time ascends 12-9 (42,000; up 2%); and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a non-mover at No. 10 (42,000; down 2%).
@dtownsfinest looks like a great first week for Kdot....
true and true
Nah they wouldnt add that record because another album is coming! that one will probably do more because its probably gonna be marketed. This is all planned out from the beginning...
Yea I would bet a lot of those numbers would be cut in half or more if they took out features; 21 might not even have one if they could out features....
I would bet Kdot will probably get to like 30-40 which would be crazy; Drake having 78 is insane...
yeah coming from Pakistan, i will take that with a grain of salt.Y'all seen this sh!t... Take it with a grain of salt

Amid ongoing legal tensions involving Kendrick Lamar and Drake, the National Football League (NFL) is reportedly considering replacing Kendrick Lamar with Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.
According to Media Take Out, the NFL has reached out to Lil Wayne’s team to explore this possibility, following a cease-and-desist letter sent by Drake’s lawyers warning the league to prevent Kendrick from defaming him during the performance.
The issue stems from Drake’s legal concerns that Kendrick Lamar might perform 'Not Like Us' at the Super Bowl, a song that could exacerbate tensions between the two. Sources close to the NFL have revealed that the league is scrambling to manage the situation, with its legal department reportedly in disarray over the matter. As a result, the NFL is said to be working on contingency plans, with Lil Wayne emerging as a potential replacement for Kendrick, although no official confirmation has been made.
This development has sparked a public dispute between the two rappers. Kendrick, frustrated by assumptions that his performance would focus on Drake, is reportedly rethinking his Super Bowl set. While he initially considered including Drake and Lil Wayne as surprise guests, he is now contemplating a performance centered entirely on his own material, with no references to the ongoing conflict.
The controversy is further fueled by the fact that the Super Bowl is set to take place in New Orleans, Lil Wayne’s hometown. Fans have noticed Wayne’s absence from the official lineup, with some speculating that tensions between the two rappers may be at the root of the situation. Kendrick addressed the issue directly in his opening track 'Wacced Out Murals', where he taunted Lil Wayne, referencing their rivalry and the competition for the Halftime Show slot.
Lil Wayne (42) has since responded to Kendrick’s jab by taking to X (formerly Twitter), calling for peace while warning Kendrick to avoid further conflict. In a message shared with his followers, Wayne urged others not to disturb him, promising he would defend himself if necessary.
The rapper also expressed his disappointment at being overlooked for the Halftime Show in a heartfelt Instagram video posted on September 13, where he explained how much it hurt to be excluded from such a high-profile performance in his own city.
Kendrick Lamar (37), for his part, has yet to directly respond to Wayne’s comments, but tensions between the two remain high. As the NFL navigates these complex dynamics, fans and industry insiders continue to watch closely, eager to see how the situation will unfold in the lead-up to Super Bowl LIX.

I've been saying it since he jacked Phonte from Little Brother's flow. Drake is an actor. I don't personally have a problem with him, my issue is with the dumb ass "he getting money though" people who allow any type of horseshit to get love.
Nicki had a lot of hits early on, plus this includes features..... she's had songs with a lot of people
"Not Like Us" is going on the next one and that one will be certified Gold in the first week if not platinum.....
Kdot just started trying to make actual commercial singles lol
What do you mean? If Not Like Us not on this one I can’t see them adding it to a future project unless it’s a greatest hits.
Naw we can’t say that. He came in with Swimming Pools. They still play that on the radio in Dallas to this day lol. He had some records that had potential to be commercial singles I don’t know why they didn’t drop Die Hard.
Why would they put it on the next album? What am I missing?
Yeah 21 up there now that’s shocking. I know he got some features but I didn’t realize that many lol.
