The NFL has reportedly apologized for their Super Bowl 59 halftime show decision.
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s big game, with Kendrick Lamar to take charge of the break. The “Not Like Us” artist will also be accompanied by former labelmate SZA.
The decision to have Kendrick highlight the show came as a massive shock as everyone expected it to be Lil Wayne, including Lil Wayne.
“That hurt, it hurt a lot,” the rapper admitted after Lamar was announced.
He added:
“I thought there was nothing better that spot, on that stage, on that platform. It broke me, but I’m just trying to put myself back together.”
Skip Bayless, a close associate of the New Orleans native, has lashed out at the league for snubbing him in favor of the aforementioned performer.

“So, dirty, rotten wrong,” Bayless said on his podcast. “Just so unfair. Come on, Wayne is New Orleans.”
The former FS1 analyst also revealed that the NFL sent Lil Wayne a letter apologizing to him and thanking him for promoting the league.
“A letter that thanked him for his years of supporting the league, not just the Packers — his favorite team — but supporting and promoting the NFL, in general, which he has,” Bayless said.
“But, he will not play Sunday’s halftime show, and he definitely won’t watch a second of Sunday’s halftime show,” Skip continued.

There’s No Chance Of Lil Wayne Performing At The Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show
Lil Wayne has confirmed that he will not attend the game, scuttling any hopes of being invited on stage to perform with Kendrick Lamar.
It is rumored that the halftime show performer could bring on a few other artists, including Taylor Swift. Of course, that is unlikely to happen, but you just never know.
On another note, it’s said that Lamar is keen on performing his controversial ‘Not Like Us” hit, which could spell trouble for the NFL, despite being advised not to.

Philadelphia Eagles legend Brandon Graham has revealed that he will throw in the towel after the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Graham started practicing last week and is desperate to return from the torn triceps he suffered in Week 12. Eagles head coach Nick Siriani has indicated that he is questionable to play on Sunday.
The 36-year-old’s willingness to return early is understandable, given that he doesn’t plan to come back next season. He made no secret of it while speaking to reporters during Super Bowl week media availability on Wednesday, suggesting that he will feature when the Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs.
“For me, this being my last year, you want to be able to pass the torch to some good hands,” Graham said. “I’m just happy that I’m able to play in this last one.”
Brandon Graham has spent his entire NFL career with the Eagles. A first-round pick in 2010, he was a second-team All-Pro in 2016 and a Pro Bowler in 2020. He won a Super Bowl with the team in 2018.

Nick Sirianni Says Brandon Graham Will Help Philly Win If He Plays
The Eagles will release their first practice report for this week on Wednesday and will need to activate the DE off the injured reserve if he is to play on Sunday.
Sirianni has admitted that Graham would provide the Eagles with a significant boost if he is able to play.
“If he’s out there, I know he’ll make plays that help us win the football game,” the coach told reporters.
Apart from Brandon Graham, the Eagles aren’t dealing with any serious injury concerns ahead of Sunday’s game.
Super Bowl 59 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will be hosted at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
