Lil Wayne Brings ‘Green and Yellow’ Back for Packers vs Lions Halftime Show

The NFC North rivalry just added hip-hop firepower. The NFL confirmed that rap icon Lil Wayne, a lifelong Packers fan, will headline the halftime show when Green Bay faces Detroit at Lambeau Field.

Wayne’s Packers connection is undeniable. Back in 2011, he remixed “Black and Yellow” into “Green and Yellow”, instantly becoming the anthem of Green Bay’s Super Bowl run. That song still fuels Lambeau’s energy today.

“The Packers are more than a team — they’re family,” Lil Wayne said in his statement. “Performing at Lambeau means bringing our anthem back to life for fans who bleed green and yellow.”

The Lions enter this season as rising contenders, while the Packers aim to reclaim division dominance. Adding Lil Wayne ensures the Week 1 matchup won’t just be football — it becomes a cultural spectacle.

Lambeau Field, known as the frozen tundra, rarely transforms into a stage for global hip-hop stars. By booking Lil Wayne, the NFL is blending authentic fan passion with star power to create unforgettable entertainment.

Packers Nation will hear their anthem live once again, shaking the stadium with every beat. When halftime arrives, it won’t be highlights — it will be Lil Wayne making Lambeau roar like never before.
