Lil Wayne is going to be absent from Super Bowl LIX … even though it’s taking place in his hometown of New Orleans.

The rapper confirmed he’d be MIA from Sunday’s big game by uploading a video announcement to his Instagram Stories, where he shouted out The Big Easy and said a seat would need to be filled in his absence.

While the “Lollipop” artist clearly won’t be a surprise guest during Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime performance — something that’s been long speculated by fans — Wayne assured fans he had “something very special” in the works and encouraged people to keep their eyes peeled on Thursday, February 6.

As you know, there was a mixed response when Kendrick was picked as the official halftime performer for the 2025 Super Bowl … as some in the Hip Hop community felt New Orleans native Lil Wayne had been blatantly snubbed by Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation, who produces the big show.

Despite the grumbling, Roc Nation doubled down on their selection, later noting Kendrick’s clean sweep at the Grammys only proved he’s the right performer for the gig.

Still, it didn’t stop fans from hoping that a Kendrick-Lil Wayne duet was potentially in the works for Sunday’s gig … especially since they already have the song “Mona Lisa” together.

TMZ Sports has obtained photos from the scene where Marcus Jordan was arrested Tuesday morning … and you can see clear as day his Lamborghini SUV did certainly seem to be stuck on some train tracks.

Check out the pics … the fancy blue ride looked firmly wedged between some loose rocks and a Maitland, Fla. railway. Its bumper appeared to be dug into the ground — giving the indication it definitely wasn’t moving without some outside force.

Police documents we obtained allege Jordan — Michael‘s 34-year-old son — had driven it there just after he fled from a Seminole County Sheriff’s officer who was trying to pull him over for a traffic violation at around 1:03 AM.

Jordan then allegedly failed field sobriety tests … and was placed into custody for DUI. During an ensuing search of his person, cops say they found cocaine in one of his pockets.

To make matters worse, authorities say when they tried to put Marcus in a squad car to transport him to a nearby jail … he was combative.

Cops were eventually able to corral Jordan and book him on three charges — one count of DUI crash with property damage, one count of possession of cocaine and one count of resisting an officer without violence.

Jonathan Majors is NOT being considered for a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe … at least not currently … despite reports to the contrary.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Jonathan has not engaged in any talks to return to the MCU after he was booted in 2023 following a guilty verdict in his criminal trial.

Despite rumors of a potential return gaining traction on fan websites, our sources say the studio is not considering bringing Jonathan back into the MCU fold.

Jonathan was well on his way to becoming Marvel’s big villain, Kang the Conqueror, a couple years ago … but it all came crashing down only hours after he was found guilty on two of four counts in his criminal trial, in which he was accused of roughing up his ex-girlfriend.
