Orlando Brown Mocks Lil Wayne While Addressing Super Bowl Halftime Show Controversy

Everybody has a hot take of their own about the Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl halftime show debate. However, no matter what choice you would’ve made if you were in charge of the selection process, we can all agree that we don’t need to disrespect either artist to make our arguments. But Orlando Brown is different. During a recent appearance on Cam Capone News, he gave his take on the whole situation and revealed his thoughts on Jay-Z‘s (alleged) decision to purposely pick K.Dot and omit NOLA native Weezy despite Super Bowl LIX taking place in his city. But while doing so, the actor mocked the New Orleans legend and posited that he would be a poor performer.

“I think that Jay-Z made the best decision ever,” Orlando Brown’s remarks on Lil Wayne began. Then, he proceeded to imitate the rapper’s nasal, warbled, and mumble-heavy vocal tone and delivery. “What the f**k is that, bro?” Brown continued. “‘Put that s**t on stage!’ *laughs* ‘That’s hot!’ When you listen to [“A Milli”] today, it sounds like, ‘*gibberish*.’ If you actually go back and listen to the record, it’s just like, ‘What the f**k was he saying? He’s high. On pills.’ *laughs*.” At least he actually knew the “A Milli” lyrics…

Orlando Brown Wouldn’t Have Picked Lil Wayne For The Super Bowl Halftime Show

On the other hand, here’s what New Orleans native Big Freedia told TMZ concerning the Super Bowl halftime show debate. “I don’t think that it was just, you know… People don’t really know, I guess, whose decision it was to have the headliner or whatever,” he shared. “And I think that, you know, me on the outside looking in, I think that Apple was the one who was able to pick the headliner because of that spot that Apple holds for the halftime show. A lot of people blaming Jay-Z, a lot of people blaming this one and that one. I think that it could be a collaboration effort for Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar to perform together. Who knows, you know, where the show might end up?

New Orleans is definitely sad that Lil Wayne is not the headliner,” Big Freedia continued. “I think that they should have had some Southern artists for sure on the ticket. You know, I think the Cash Money and No Limit family should’ve definitely been involved. But who knows what’s going to happen with the days ahead? I think [Kendrick inviting Wayne to perform] would be a great gesture. And I think it would be a nice thing for Kendrick Lamar to do. I think he would definitely, you know, get his love from Louisiana and from down South if he was to make that happen.”
