Lil Wayne Fans Say He Should Be Super Bowl 59 Headliner, Not Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar's taking the stage at the next Super Bowl, but not everyone's stoked about it -- 'cause some wanted hometown favorite Lil Wayne in New Orleans next year.

Here's the deal ... this morning, the NFL announced K. Dot as the headliner for the biggest gig in sports -- not exactly a surprise given the success of his Drake diss track "Not Like Us."

While many people are excited Kendrick's getting his own show after appearing alongside other rap legends like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent back at SB LVI, others are pointing out New Orleans has its own star rapper who should've got the top spot.

As for the cars ... Jeannie says their divorce settlement called for her to walk away from the marriage with a 2021 Range Rover and a 2022 Ford Bronco ... but she says Jeezy has yet to transfer the titles over to her ... preventing her from being able to insure the vehicles and delaying her ability to have the Bronco shipped from Atlanta to Los Angeles.

Megan Thee Stallion Doesn't Know What Started Nicki Minaj Beef

Megan Thee Stallion scored a No. 1 hit in the form of a Nicki Minaj diss song to kick off her year -- the opening of the 2024 Rap Wars she has no clue how she got involved in!!!

In her new cover interview with Billboard, Megan admitted she was happy if she inspired a spark in competitive -- and combative -- rapping with the January release of "Hiss," which was followed by spats between Chris Brown vs. Quavo, Eminem vs. Benzino and Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar ... and of course, everyone else.

Nicki wasted no time responding with her own acidic diss "Big Foot" -- but Megan says it's anyone's guess what initially caused the rift ... "I still to this day don’t know what the problem is. I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is," she said.

The record will show things turned sour after Meg linked with Cardi B for the Diamond-selling "WAP" ... after she and Nicki joined forces in 2019 for the single "Hot Girl Summer" ... but like Meg suggests, no official clarity has ever been offered up.
