Deion Sanders is making a bold move to ensure that Lil Wayne takes center stage as the halftime performer at next year’s Suρer Bowl.
The football legend and the renowned rapper discussed this potential collaboration during a recent episode of Apple Music’s “Young Money Radio,” hinting at the idea of Wayne headlining the performance in his hometown at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Sanders, fueling the anticipation for the event, expressed his eagerness for this “young artist” to take the spotlight without directly naming Lil Wayne.
He emphasized Wayne’s talent, stating that he “has to be the halftime performer” and suggesting that he may need more time due to his extensive catalog of hits. Wayne, in agreement, mentioned exploring the possibility and expressed his commitment to making it happen.
In their lively conversation, Lil Wayne disclosed his intention to look into the opportunity and use his connections to secure the coveted halftime performance. Sanders, confident in their ability to make it happen, teased that they might need to extend the allotted time for Wayne’s performance given the abundance of his chart-topping songs.
The rapper also revealed his desire to be the halftime performer during a previous episode of his show with Tyga, expressing his New Orleans roots and hinting at his interest in the prestigious gig.
As the two influential figures bantered about the potential collaboration, Sanders assured that he would reach out to Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, while also acknowledging JAY-Z’s potential role in facilitating the performance. With a shared determination to make it a reality, the duo expressed confidence in securing Lil Wayne as the halftime performer for the upcoming Suρer Bowl, following the success of Usher’s record-breаking halftime show this year.
