Lil Wayne again expressed his dissatisfaction with being overlooked for the halftime show of Super Bowl LIX in his hometown of New Orleans.

During Lil Weezyana Fest on Saturday, he told the crowd he had dreamed of doing the Super Bowl halftime show and that this year "it was ripped away from me."

The NFL announced in September that Kendrick Lamar was selected for the highly coveted gig. The choice came months after Lamar's longstanding feud with Drake reached a tipping point and resulted in an exchange of personal diss tracks.
