Drake Turns Down Super Bowl Halftime Show Offers, Elliott Wilson Confirms
Drake Rejects Super Bowl Halftime Show Offers, Reveals Elliott Wilson
In a shocking turn of events, it has been confirmed that Drake has turned down the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show not once, but twice. Hip Hop journalist Elliott Wilson revealed this exclusive information on the latest episode of HipHopDX’s The Bigger Picture.
The offers to Drake came from none other than JAY-Z, who has been working with the NFL to organize the halftime show since 2019. Despite JAY-Z’s efforts, Drake declined the chance to headline the 2020 show in Miami and the following year’s show in Tampa.
Instead, the 2020 halftime show featured Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, while The Weeknd took the stage in 2021. Wilson defended JAY-Z against claims of favoritism towards Kendrick Lamar, who is set to headline the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show.
The news of Drake’s rejections comes amidst controversy surrounding Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming performance, with many arguing that Lil Wayne should have been chosen instead. Wayne himself expressed his disappointment in an Instagram video, stating that the snub “hurt a lot.”
The full episode of The Bigger Picture, where Wilson reveals this exclusive information, will be available on various platforms. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
