Lil Wayne<\/a>\u00a0announced he wouldn\u2019t be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl after being passed over as the halftime performer for Kendrick.<\/p>\nDays after finding out he wouldn\u2019t be performing, Wayne took to social media with a message for his fans.\u00a0\u201cIt hurt a whole lot. I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. But I thought there was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said at the time.<\/p>\nOne man who chose not to watch the performance was sportscaster Skip Bayless, who reminded the entire football world that he decided to boycott the Super Bowl halftime show \u201cout of respect for my brother Lil Wayne.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a recent episode of \u201cThe Skip Bayless Show,\u201d he dropped a bombshell about the league feeling so bad that they supposedly apologized to Lil Wayne over Kendrick Lamar being picked over him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NFL immediately sent Wayne a letter of apology,\u201d Bayless revealed. \u201cFrom nobody in particular, just from the league on NFL letterhead. A letter that thanked him for his years of supporting the league, not just the Packers, his favorite team, but supporting and promoting the NFL, in general, which he has.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
