@@itskasces they compared it to an interview because that’s the process in which most people take to get a job. it’s not to be taken 100% literal. the point in everyone’s stance is that the superbowl doesn’t just pick people out of a hat, there are a lot of working parts to the selection process but the main key is to have your manager/team pitch to the superbowl why you should be the choice for the Halftime show over other artist. Wayne clearly didn’t have any of that happen, hence why he said he blamed himself for assuming the position would just fall on his desk.

Not kendrick show 😂 Wayne can wait for HIS time to shine at a Superbowl show

[@parkermudsen1063]

It’ll be a looooong time (if ever) before the NFL even considers Wayne as a viable option for the SB. And by then his music will be even more irrelevant as far as Middle America is concerned.

Finally someone SAID the TRUTH. Wayne hasn’t worked like Kenny has in the last two years.

[@link5283returns]

Kenny hasn't done anything this year other than diss Drake

[@parkermudsen1063]

@@link5283returnshe had a huge concert that did numbers, put out the song of the year, completed the highest grossing solo Hip-Hop tour of all time. You haven’t been paying attention.

[@chitownhustler3372]

I might be wrong but I think I heard or read that the NFL doesn't pay artists for Super Bowl appearances because of the pub they get just for being on a Half Time show. Your bag comes afterwards from the exposure to 100+ million viewers of the Half Time spectacular.

[@rawdawg913]

Wayne did the vmas,espys, did halftime at a raiders prime time game, ran out the tunnel with the packers, did a Sunday night football intro. He also has a residency in Vegas himself. You can say it’s not enough but you can’t say he ain’t did nothing in the past year man

[@electrixfyingipod6206]

Those things are irrelevant and small gig compared to the biggest event in America. Companies are paying millions of dollars just for a 15 second ad and Seriously running out the tunnel with the packers???? You would make a terrible defense attorney lol

[@_NoHandle_]

The residency in Vegas was just two days and it was June/July of this summer - by then the Super Bowl decision was already made. In additional to what you listed - Wayne often didn't come to sound checks, showed up late for shows, and left early (sometimes after only 15 minutes) if the crowd wasn't hype enough. And his performances weren't that great. That stuff matters as well.

[@rawdawg913]

@@_NoHandle_ you aint never heard of wayne walking out of no vegas residency man. if thats the case he wouldnt get another one. he did drais as well. you going off what that grammy director say that if thats the case why have him perform multiple times at the grammys if he so difficult . budden them said he has done nothing and thats just not true

I agree that wayne shit was weak asf

[@thepopupbot6013]

Not just weak but if you really want to perform at the Super Bowl your best bet is to just be quiet and wait your turn. IMO the Super Bowl just put him on the Do Not Book list for the negative attention.

[@coreybrownCYoBrown]

Joe, get your team to do their research. Usher, himself, has spoken to the strategic play of his residency. Literally, Usher, in an interview, said the show.. being in Vegas, was a part of the plan lol Yall, research your topics before unpacking them. Lawd😩

[@kierrataylor5653]

IT SEEMS LIKE HE WAS PROMISED OR SOMETHING BECAUSE HE NEVER MAKES STATEMENTS AND IF HE WAS CONSIDERED WHY WOULD IT BE AN ISSUE? SOMETHING IS MISSING

[@IamFirtyDucker]

Not when you factor that he sounds entitled and made no effort to best position himself. It’s his fault

[@kingmunchtv]

Guarantee he wasn’t promised lol

[@cmbrock1]

Nah he expected it because of who he is no more no less. Sometimes we look at angles that’s just not there sometimes it’s just is what it is.

[@nikiedmonds6236]

I think if he was promised the spot he would have said that in the video...instead what he said is it's his fault for acting like he had the spot when nobody told him that

[@Msboochie2]

[@MrScissorhandz]

Wait, how is he offended? I could see if Wayne was in on those meetings that took place. Or, if the NFL told him that he was finalist or somethin... And Super Bowls don't always hire hometown acts tbh. It's business with ALL due respect to his craft.

He was humble and honest. I have loved him for years. To me, this was a business move, more than personal. Jay don't mess with his whole camp. They said Jay suggested Wayne to the committee. I say, no he didn't. I would absolutely ride the K Lamar wave. You'd be crazy not to. Wayne hasn't put out music in years. This was about money and I would have done the same. K Lamar is about Black empowerment. Not drugs, alcohol, and narcotic potions. Everyone in my house hated the Usher halftime show. We were peeping out Bey's Verizon commercial.

[@Coast2CoastGoat]

Dr.Dre performed and he ain’t put out shit in years so your point ain’t valid

[@_NoHandle_]

The NFL announced Usher's halftime performance drew 129.3 million viewers, setting an all-time record. So the show did exactly what the NFL wanted - brought in the viewers.
