Joe Budden and his podcast co-hosts discussed the legitimacy of Lil Wayne's grievances with the NFL after the rapper claimed to have the headlining spot at the Super Bowl Halftime Show "ripped" from him during his appearance at Lil WeezyAna Fest 2024. Despite the next Super Bowl taking place in Wayne's hometown of New Orleans, Kendrick Lamar will be performing at the event.
"I don't like when he says this was snatched from me. I don't like that… We never saw anything where they said you had the Super Bowl. So, what is snatched from you? It was assumed by you and a lot of your fans and a lot of the public," Ice said on the show. "… That's not snatched away. That's entitlement."

From there, Budden countered that he believes Wayne's assumption must be based on something behind the scenes. "I think he definitely spoke to Hov or somebody on that board that's in charge of that, I think they may have told him-- laid out a guideline of things that the person they pick has to accomplish and do. I think he might've went about trying to check some of the things off that list and maybe he didn't like how he found out the news that Kendrick was performing."
