Lil Wayne might’ve once been “ill, not sick,” but his performance on SNL50: The Homecoming Concert was anything but. The New Orleans rapped a medley of his greatest hits alongside The Roots, speeding through classics like “Lollipop,” “6 Foot 7 Foot“, and “Mrs. Officer,” before devoting the majority of the set’s runtime to his barn-burning, multi-million-selling, Grammy-winning 2008 megahit “A Milli.”
This comes shortly after the rapper said Kendrick Lamar being chosen for the Super Bowl halftime show in his native city “broke” him.

“That hurt, it hurt a whole lot. I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown, for automatically mentally putting myself in that position. I thought there was nothing better – that spot, on that stage, on that platform,” Wayne said.
Unfortunately for Weezy F, almost everyone online wasn’t a fan of his latest live performance. “Thank you SNL. Now we know why Lil Wayne wasn’t the headliner at the Super Bowl,” one user wrote. Another user wrote that it was “the perfect example of why he shouldn’t have been chosen for the Super Bowl halftime show.”
Yet another user said the performance was “not it.”
“What a waste of time for this special night,” they said.
Even one of the rapper’s fans acknowledged the Super Bowl made the right choice.
Lil Wayne will have a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of the public when his next album, Tha Carter 6—unrelated to Young Thug’s Barter 6—drops on June 6th.
