Deion Sanders wants Lil Wayne to headline 2025 Super Bowl halftime show

Coach Prime believes Mr. Carter's catalog fits the bill for the world's biggest stage

Deion Sanders has put his weight behind one of his dear friends to perform at nex year's Super Bowl Halftime Show. None other than Lil Wayne, which isn't a surprise considering his ties to New Orleans. But the kicker is Coach Prime let it be known while on a recent episode of Apple Music’s “Young Money Radio,” prior to Usher blazing the stage in Las Vegas.

“I’m on something different right now," Sanders said. "I’m already into next year, in New Orleans, and I’m petitioning right now for this young artist. He’s dope. He has to be the halftime performer."

Wayne didn't put up a fight and why would he? The hip hop legend has a resume that speaks for itself with a string of hits with contributors like DJ Khalid, Rick Ross, Justin Bieber, Drake, and others. Who knows... Maybe Coach Prime could break out a little 'Must Be The Money' like he did on Saturday Night Live back in the day.

“I’m going to look into him… I’ma see what I can do for him," Sanders said.

Both men got a good laugh about it. Sanders said he would be willing to put a call into the commissioner. “I know Roger (Goodell). I know Roger. I’m going to put a phone call into that right now,” said Prime. “And you know, JAY-Z got a lot to do with that, too. So, I know him. So, I'm going to talk to him as well."

Wayne is no stranger to Boulder and visited Sanders and Buffs a few times last year. He even ran behind Ralphie prior to the Rocky Mountain Showdown with an impromptu performance in the end zone. Nobody would be shocked if he makes a return during the course of Colorado's first year back in the Big 12.

The NOLA music scene has a diverse history and could bring out one of the best halftime shows in modern history. Wayne would bring a bit of Cash Money history back to live, along with a possible No Limit collaboration from Master P. There's also Harry Connick Jr., who could make things interesting.

There were a record 129 million people who watched Usher during his set at Super Bowl 58 this year.
