Cardi B Reveals Her Desire To Headline The Super Bowl Halftime Show

by

Over the past few Super Bowls, artists from hip-hop and R&B are taking over Super Bowl halftime. Just last year, Rihanna made a triumphant return to the music world. Not by releasing a song or a project, but by performing on one of the biggest stages in America. That shows how in demand this type of music is for any major event. Rihanna has not released any solo material since 2017 and she still was asked to perform. With so many people listening to both genres around the world, Cardi B can be the next artist to take over the show.

Cardi B is easily one of the biggest names period, even with no album since her debut in 2018. However, the hits are endless. Tracks like “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It,” and “WAP,” are mega hits. That is partially what you must have to dominate the super stage. But besides all of her accomplishments, this is not the first time she has thought about this.

Cardi B Feels It Is Time To Perform At The Super Bowl: Watch

According to AllHipHop, she reportedly passed on a chance to perform with Maroon 5 at Super Bowl LIII in 2019. That was the year the band headlined the show. She most likely was asked to assist them in performing their hit “Girls Like You.” Cardi said no originally in support of former quarterback Collin Kaepernick during his controversial tenure with the league. But, four years later her desire is real. In an interview with Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she feels that she is ready to have her own halftime show. She told Cohen, “Yes, now I would say yes. Things change.”

Nets Guard Cam Thomas Fined $40K For “No Homo” Comment During TV Interview

The NBA just fined Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas for using the phrase “no homo” during a post-game interview. Moreover, he made such comments during an on-court interview with teammate Spencer Dinwiddie on TNT. Following their victory against the Chicago Bulls on February 9, Thomas let the phrase fly. “We already got good-looking dudes, no homo,” he told the interviewer as he laughed with his teammate. “I’m sure the legal office will enjoy that one,” the interviewer remarked, and he wasn’t wrong.

Furthermore, the NBA released a statement on Friday (February 10) acknowledging Thomas’ comments. “Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has been fined $40,000 for using derogatory and disparaging language during a live television interview,” their statement read. “It was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. Thomas made his comments during an on-court interview at the conclusion of the Nets‘ 116-105 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Feb. 9 at Barclays Center.”

Meanwhile, the Nets guard took to Twitter to apologize for his comments and clarify his intent. “I want to apologize for the insensitive word I used in the post-game interview, I was excited about the win and was being playful. I definitely didn’t intend to offend anyone, but realize that I probably did. My apologies again. Much love.”

Still, a lot of people think that this might be taking things a bit too far. For example, many compared it to the backlash Kyrie Irving received last year. “But let Kyrie say that they gon label him homophobic and make him sit down and talk to gay people,” a tweeter posted. “And donate his money to the LGBTQ foundation. They pick and choose who they wanna critique.” However, to equate a playful comment to pushing unjust discrimination against Jewish people is wildly short-sighted. Regardless, many believe that double standards might be at play.

Also, some people just acknowledged that it’s also about who you are. “Yes, bigger stars get far more attention,” another user tweeter. “If Dennis Schroder says something offensive, it’s not going to get the reaction it would if LeBron said it.” Whether you think Cam Thomas went too far or not, stick around on HNHH for the latest updates.
