If you are someone knowledgeable about pop culture, then you will know about the drama surrounding the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

There has been a difficulty for Maroon 5 in finding another artist for the show since most of the biggest names in music like Rihanna wouldn’t agree to do the show due to support for Colin Kaepernick.

However, it has been learnt that Maroon 5 has crushed the doubters who said finding another artist for the Super Bowl Halftime Show was impossible as rapper Travis Scott has been locked down for the show.

It is learnt that the “Astroworld” rapper will join Maroon 5 during the halftime show in Atlanta on February 3.

The move to bring Scott is no doubt a huge one as Scott has one of the hottest tour going, a huge single with Drake and he is also generating big Grammy buzz.  Asides these, Scott’s three shows on Grammy week (Vegas, San Diego, LA) are nearly sold out after presale and there are rumours that he will add another show at The Forum that week too.

Not to mention that his plus one will be the fifth richest American celebrity, Kylie Jenner who is the mother of his child (and possibly his wife).

It has been gathered that Maroon 5 is still in talks with several other artists about possibly joining the show including Cardi B and Outkast’s Big Boi but it remains to be seen whether they will be opened to the idea of coming on board.

It is noteworthy that Scott’s addition is a big win for the NFL and hip-hop fans as it would be recalled that Waka Flocka Flame bashed the League for passing over Atlanta rappers in favour of a mainstream band.
