FERG, formerly ASAP Ferg, predicts Kendrick Lamar will bring out Lil Wayne during his upcoming Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance.
In a new Goat Talk conversation released on Wednesday (Sept. 25), the Harlem native shared his prediction in a new interview with NBA Champ and new recording artist Jaylen Brown who just collaborated with FERG on their new single “Just Do It.” News about Kendrick Lamar being selected as the performer over hometown legend, Lil Wayne, has run rampant since the announcement. They revealed their predictions as the news spread.
“I think they missed the mark by not including Lil Wayne,” Brown remarked. FERG, known for his Harlem roots and hits like “Plain Jane,” responded, “Knowing Kendrick, he’s definitely going to bring Wayne out. He has to. It wouldn’t make sense otherwise. Mark my words—Wayne’s coming.”
A consistent theory about the upcoming Halftime Show is the beef between Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake. Earlier in their discussion, Brown and FERG touched on the longstanding rap rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
“I enjoyed the Kendrick vs. Drake feud. I was on the edge of my seat. But I think it’s over now,” Brown, the Boston Celtics shooting guard, commented. “It doesn’t have to be, but what else is left to say? Lines have already been crossed.”
Speculation has been swirling, with artists like Fivio Foreign suggesting that Kendrick bringing Lil Wayne onstage could be the perfect moment to squash any lingering tension between Wayne and Drake. Super Bowl LIX is set for February 9, 2025, in New Orleans—Lil Wayne’s hometown—so fans will have to wait and see.
Adding another layer to the conversation is ASAP Rocky, FERG’s collaborator on tracks like “Shabba.” Rocky stirred the pot with a guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands,” where he took shots at Drake, referencing his relationship with his son’s mother and critiquing Drake’s recent album, For All The Dogs.
Despite the pointed lyrics, Rocky downplayed any serious beef. “There’s real beef out there,” he told Billboard. “This little back-and-forth is nothing.”
