In a shocking turn of events, Skip Bayless, the notorious sports commentator known for his polarizing opinions, has declared a full-fledged "war" on the Super Bowl halftime show, citing a grand conspiracy against rap royalty and hogging the spotlight. Just minutes before the much-anticipated performance by Kendrick Lamar at the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, Bayless took to X (formerly Twitter) with an announcement that has sent ripples through both the sports and entertainment worlds. "I am not watching this halftime show, out of respect for my brother Lil Wayne, who obviously should be playing in his hometown of New Orleans," Bayless tweeted. "This is just so wrong." He further urged his followers to join him in a boycott, dubbing it the "Lil Wayne or Bust" movement, complete with hashtags like #SetTheStageRight and #WaynesWorldTour2025. Bayless’s vehement objection stems from the belief that no one – not even the Grammy-winning Kendrick Lamar – has the right to grace the Super Bowl stage in a city that gave birth to “The Carter” series. In fact, he went on to say that “only Lil Wayne deserves New Orleans!” firmly placing his flag in the ground for the enduring legacy of the "A Milli" artist. Critics have echoed Bayless's sentiments, speculating that the NFL is deliberately sidelining local legends in favor of "overrated" out-of-town acts. Supporters of Bayless have started to organize "watch parties" in their living rooms where they will tune in to an endless loop of Lil Wayne's greatest hits, while other, more balanced viewers are wondering if this is really the hill Bayless wants to die on. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar, who has already secured his own place in hip-hop history, reportedly did not receive Bayless's memo and delivered a powerful performance that left fans cheering and singing along. In a surprising twist, several hip-hop aficionados were spotted casually munching on nachos while passionately debating the cultural significance of both artists, completely unfazed by Bayless's Twitter tirade. As the halftime extravaganza rolled on, many were left wondering how Bayless would respond. After some contemplation, he took to X once again, posting, “Well, at least Lil Wayne will get his moment someday. It’s only a matter of time before the NFL gets it right!” In a classic Bayless fashion, he concluded his commentary on the matter with a prophetic note: "Maybe next year, but don't count on it!” Meanwhile, fans everywhere are just hoping that when the time comes, Bayless isn’t already devising plans for another social media boycott. For now, it seems the true winner of the Super Bowl is not who takes home the trophy, but rather who gets to bask in the righteous glow of Skip Bayless’s latest controversial stance.
