Lil Wayne is opening up about not getting invited to perform at some of the biggest music festivals.
Taking to social media, the legendary rapper said that he never gets called to perform at the Grammys or Coachella.
“It’s truly a humbling experience when events like Coachella & the Grammys come around & like clockwork, I’m uninvited & uninvolved. I appreciate my position or space I hold in ya heart & mind,” Wayne wrote. “If so bc you’re the humbling experience that’s timeless & 4dat I thk u. Iaintshitwithoutu.”
Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit hopped in the comments section to support Wayne.
“Let’s start our own experience gathering and our own acknowledgment event to welcome all of the uninvited. I’ve got a couple of ideas I’ve been working on for quite some while now,” Durst wrote. “Happy to elaborate if ever interested – sending good vibes,”
This isn’t the first time that Wayne has expressed his frustration with not being invited to perform at a big event. When Kendrick Lamar was chosen to perform at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, Wayne’s hometown, he admitted that the snub “broke him.”
In response, Wayne released a video where he “blame[s] myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for just automatically, mentally putting myself in that position.”
WAYNE SAYS HE WILL PERFORM AT THE SUPER BOWL
Following Super Bowl 59, Wayne said he would never perform at the event.
“To perform, it’s a bunch of things they’re going to tell you to do and not do, asses to kiss and not kiss,” Wayne said. “If you notice, I was a part of things I’ve never been a part of. Like [Michael] Rubin’s all-white parties. I’m doing shit with Tom Brady. That was all for that. You ain’t never seen me in them types of venues. I ain’t Drake. I ain’t out there smiling like that everywhere. I’m in the stu’, smokin’ and recording.”
