Lil Wayne “Mocks” Super Bowl 2025 in New Cetaphil Commercial

Lil Wayne “Mocks” Super Bowl 2025 in New Cetaphil Commercial

Lil Wayne continues to showcase his humor by turning his “sensitivity” over being snubbed by Super Bowl 2025 into a hilariously clever ad.

The 42-year-old rap star and five-time Grammy winner has just starred in a brand-new Cetaphil commercial, where he takes the spotlight in a scene filled with subtle jabs. In the ad, Lil Wayne sits in a recording studio as a sharply dressed executive tells him they are “going in a different direction this time,” indirectly referencing his exclusion from the Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show despite the event being held in his hometown.

Mocking His “Sensitivity” About Super Bowl

The ad features a witty tagline on YouTube that reads:
“Can’t change a sensitive situation? At least you can soothe your sensitive skin.”

Instead of dwelling on the snub, Lil Wayne decides to help others navigate awkward and sensitive moments in life—armed with Cetaphil, the well-known skincare brand.

Lil Wayne Rescuing People from Embarrassing Situations

Throughout the ad, Lil Wayne swoops in just in time to help people in cringe-worthy situations:

• Meeting the Girlfriend’s Dad for the First Time: A young man visits his girlfriend’s family home, only to drop his wallet while shaking hands with her father. The father picks it up—only to see a condom slip out, creating an awkward silence. Lil Wayne appears from the staircase, quipping: “Damn, sensitive situation.”

• Rejection on the Kiss Cam: A woman is left humiliated when her boyfriend refuses to kiss her on the big screen at a sporting event. Lil Wayne steps in to help her shake off the embarrassment.

• Left Hanging with the Bill: A man gets abandoned by his friends when the restaurant bill arrives. Lil Wayne appears, saying: “Damn, they left you hanging.” before handing him some Cetaphil to “soothe the situation.”

Teasing Tha Carter VI & an Important Date

As the commercial wraps up, Lil Wayne returns to the recording studio, and a bold message flashes on the screen:
“DO NOT DISTURB UNTIL 06-06-25”
Right below, the announcement teases his highly anticipated album: “CARTER VI.”

While Super Bowl Halftime Show may not have a spot for him this year, Lil Wayne proves once again that he knows how to turn any situation into a marketing win. Was his Super Bowl snub truly disappointing, or is he just using it as fuel for one of the most anticipated rap comebacks of the year?
