Super Bowl halftime show producer Jesse Collins has addressed the controversy surrounding the selection of Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the upcoming show.

In an interview with Variety, Collins explained that the decision ultimately rests with Jay-Z, who oversees the entertainment strategy for the NFL’s major events.

The news has sparked disappointment among fans of Lil Wayne, who many expected to headline the show in his hometown of New Orleans. Lil Wayne himself expressed frustration and disappointment following the announcement that Lamar would be headlining the show, admitting that it hurt him a lot.

The final decision to have Lamar headline the show has caused a stir among fans and artists alike.

A video of a Lil Wayne performance circulated online on Monday (September 16), and some fans agreed that Wayne may not be the best pick for the big game.
