Lil Wayne is skipping Super Bowl LIX, even though it’s taking place in his hometown of New Orleans.

The rapper uploaded 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.

Wayne assured fans he had “something very special” in the works and encouraged people to keep their eyes open tomorrow (Thursday).

He added … “I got something exciting coming for you … Till then, I’m just chillin’.”
