THEY SAID NO TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!
Remember the Super Bowl where Justin Timberlake hit Janet Jackson with the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performances and changed the future of Super Bowl appearances for years to come? That could have been an Outkast Super Halftime party that would have erased the trajectory of Ms. Janet’s career after the incident.
In talking to Dan Le Bartard, Big Boi revealed that the NBA All-Star game a few years ago was the most memorable sports performance they’ve had to date and passed up the opportunity to perform at halftime of the Super Bowl because Andre 3000 wanted to sing “Hey Ya” and “The Way You Move” in full and they wouldn’t let him. So as hard is it was, they turned the opportunity down. Big said he isn’t mad and hopes the NFL invites them back one day.
