With momentum mounting in anticipation of what will be a historic assembly of Hip Hop & R&B heavyweights at this Sunday’s Super Bowl Halftime show, the headliners – Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre – are hitting the promo rounds to ensure all eyes are glued to TVs during the February 13 event.
As has become standard fare over the years, the billed performers hosted a press conference in the days leading to the spectacle to dish on what can be expected from their sets, surprises, and much more.
While Dre promised surprises (including what many speculate will be a hologram of late Hip Hop legend Tupac), the 56-year-old rapper-producer also jokingly made a few other promises that were perceived as a diss to the most talked about Super Bowl Halftime show in history.
More inside:
During the Super Bowl LVI press conference earlier this week, Dre, Blige, and Dogg not only waxed honest about a number of topics related to their forthcoming show but also shared thoughts on some of their favorite previous headliners.
Agreeing that Michael Jackson and Prince set the gold standard, Dre surprised the press audience when he added Justin Timberlake‘s 2018 showing was among his all-time favorites.
In response (as seen at the 4:53 mark), the interviewer quizzed the trio on if there will be any surprises in Sunday’s halftime show – a question Snoop responded to by saying:
‘There won’t be any wardrobe malfunctions.’
And while the joke didn’t exactly seem to land with some, Dre came in to say:
“I had to talk Snoop and [Eminem] out of pulling their pen*ses out.”
*****
The phrase ‘wardrobe malfunction’ was thrust into public consciousness after Janet Jackson’s controversial 2004 Super Bowl set with Timberlake in which the Pop diva’s nipple was accidentally exposed on national television.
Followed by a historic fallout that changed live TV forever, the impact of the unforgettable incident was discussed in earnest by Jackson herself in her top-rated, eponymous Lifetime documentary.

Lame
There is zero buzz and zero excitement for this geriatric halftime show and they had to throw shade at Janet Jackson. #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay will trend as always and nobody will care about this halftime show.
Always coming for Janet. For what reason? She’s in a much better position in her life AND career than all of you put together.
THESE CLOWNS WILL NEVER BE ICONIC LIKE JANET AND JUSTIN
and unprovoked too cause Janet never had words for any of these men. idiots
There won’t be any viewers for this ghetto bowl halftime show either lol. Mary must owe somebody a favor lol.
Snoop should know better especially with his current CASES, how distasteful.
This was classless and insulting. How dare they!!!
