Shaq Suggests Lil Wayne Might Steal the Spotlight from Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: ‘Give People a Choice’

During a recent episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq, the Big Fella asked his fellow LSU Tiger alum Leonard Fournette a hypothetical question suggesting that Wayne should consider attempting to upstage Kendrick Lamar and the NFL with a concert of his own during this upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show.

“I have a hypothetical question, because you know I’m a businessman … let’s just say the Super Bowl halftime show was from 12 to 1 — should Lil Wayne do a concert in New Orleans at the same time and televise it?” he asked. “Definitely,” Fournette answered, adding, “he would sell out.”

Shaq then answered his own question, saying, “I would do that” and agreed when his co-host Adam Lefkoe brought up the time Fox’s In Living Color upstaged CBS and the NFL in 1992, saying, “Stream it and then give people a choice.”

During the 1992 Super Bowl XXVI “Winter Magic” Halftime Show, the legendary sketch comedy show aired a special live episode, drawing 20 million viewers away from the the Super Bowl, and led to a new era in Super Bowl Halftime Shows. Michael Jackson performed the next year and the rest is history.

Lil Wayne has been at the center of a conversation around Kendrick Lamar being tapped to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Orleans instead of him. The rap legend admitted to being heartbroken about not getting the opportunity to headline the show in his hometown. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown, and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position,” he said in a video response at the time. “I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot.”
