Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg managed to impress everyone at the Super Bowl Halftime Show and were also joined by 50 Cent.
Both artists started the performance on February 13 with a few hits including The Next Episode and California Love. 50 Cent turned out to be a surprise guest as he also performed In Da Club on a set piece below Snoop and Dre.
The public cheered for them and they were joined by Mary J. Blige, Kendrick, and Eminem, raising the energy with their performance. Snoop and Dre took over the stage and ended the event with Still D.R.E., joined by all the artists at the end of the song.
50 Cent appeared upside down in the Super Bowl Show
Also known as Curtis James Jackson III, he entered late into the Super Bowl LVI halftime show, and fans were not prepared. The rapper was not in the pre-released lineup of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem.
The show started with performances by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, who performed on top of a set of two white buildings. They performed a version of California Love.
The camera then focused on the lower floor of one of the buildings where 50 Cent was hanging upside down, a reference to the video of his hit single, In Da Club.
Curtis ended the performance standing the right way up among a group of dancers, and the show then continued with appearances from Blige, Lamar, and Eminem.
However, Curtis’ entrance became a topic of discussion on social media as fans started posting memes about his upside-down performance.
Before the event, Snoop Dogg had mentioned that performing at a halftime show was a dream come true in an interview with The Associated Press. He had also said how he thought it was a dream since he couldn't believe they would let a real hip-hop artist grace the stage in an NFL Super Bowl. He further added:
“We’re just going to wait for that moment and put something together that’s spectacular, and do what we’re known for doing and add on to the legacy.”
Mary J. Blige revealed that she was not paid to perform but was not bothered about it since it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
