Jay Z is still getting backlash after rapper Kendrick Lamar announced he will perform during halftime at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.

Nicki Minaj shaded Jay Z for choosing Kendrick to perform instead of New Orleans native Lil Wayne.

In a series of tweets on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Nicki called Jay Z “spiteful & evil”. She also called him a “bitter old hater” and “c**n.” And she referred to his wife, Beyonce, as an “ugly laughy taffy alien.”

“One n***a took a knee. The other n***a took the bag,” she wrote, referencing former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick (right). “He gon get you n****s in line every fkng time… Got everything in the world.

New Orleans rap legend Master P wrote an open letter to Jay Z, the NFL, and the mayor of New Orleans to complain about leaving Lil Wayne out of the Super Bowl halftime show.

In his letter, Master P told the NFL, Jay Z and Mayor LaToya Cantrell that Lil Wayne is a better choice for the Super Bowl since he’s from New Orleans.

Master P was disappointed that Jay Z, who produces the Super Bowl halftime shows, chose an outsider to perform in his city.

The recording executive stressed that Lil Wayne should at least be included in Kendrick’s Super Bowl Halftime show.

Master P wrote:

“Salute to Kendrick Lamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.. well deserved, he’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now. As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us. @nfl
