Lil Wayne Says He’s “Uninvited and Uninvolved” in Coachella and the Grammys

Overview

• Lil Wayne, who posted on X on Saturday, said big events like Coachella and the Grammys arrive each year with him “uninvited & uninvolved” and he thanked fans for holding him down.
• He expressed a similar view during the February 2026 Grammys, writing that he “wasnt included” and needed to “work harder.”
• The new complaint follows his hurt reaction in September 2024 to losing the Super Bowl halftime slot in his hometown to Kendrick Lamar, and he later told Rolling Stone he would refuse an invite that came with strict demands and image polishing.
• His history at Coachella is limited to a 2016 surprise cameo during G-Eazy’s set rather than a solo performance.
• After his post, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst replied with support and floated starting an event for artists who feel shut out.
