Lil Wayne is not like Kendrick Lamar.

After being snubbed as the Super Bowl 59 halftime performer, the New Orleans native revealed on his Instagram story Wednesday ahead of the big game that he won’t be present on Sunday in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.

“Y’all know I’m not going to be there this week,” the rapper said. “Shoutout to New Orleans, but I’ve been working on something very special. I’ve got something exciting coming for you.”

Lil Wayne later revealed that a surprise would come Thursday, adding “Until then? I’m just chillin’.”

The big reveal? Lil Wayne starred in an ad for the skincare line Cetaphil and teased a new musical project dropping on June 6.

“Sometimes, we all get a Lil Sensitive… and hey, who hasn’t been there? Right, @Cetaphil? Because if you can’t solve your sensitive situation, you can at least soothe your sensitive skin,” the rapper captioned a post on Instagram with the ad.

The ad, “We’re all a Lil Sensitive,” takes playful aim at the Super Bowl snub and Lil Wayne’s past reactions.

The ad will air regionally in New Orleans during Sunday’s game, where the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII in 2022.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 59 halftime performance

Lamar, the “Not Like Us” rapper, 37, announced in September that he would perform during the Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show. He shared the news in a YouTube video that showed Lamar on a football field in front of a giant American flag.

“My name is Kendrick Lamar, and I’ll be performing at Super Bowl LIX,” he says in the clip. “Will you be pulling up? I hope so.”

Roc Nation, Apple Music and the NFL confirmed the news at the time in a news release, and the NFL shared a promotional poster on X that showed Lamar sitting on a football field.

Lil Wayne said Super Bowl halftime show snub ‘hurt him’

After the news was announced, Lil Wayne shared that the snub “hurt him.”

“I thought there was nothing better than that spot, that stage, that platform, in my city. So it hurt, it hurt a whole lot,” he previously said in an Instagram Live video.

However, during a recent appearance on “The Skip Bayless Show,” the “Lollipop” rapper clarified his previous comments and cleared up possible beef with rap peer Lamar.

“I’ve spoken to him, and I wished him all the best, and I told him he better kill it,” Wayne said about his conversation with Lamar, adding that he told him: “You better kill it. You got to kill it.”
