Anderson .Paak has admitted he begged Dr. Dre to app<\/a>ear on the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show.<\/p>\n

That year’s event saw performances from Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent with Paak making a guest appearance as a drummer.<\/p>\n

Sitting down for a chat with Drink Champs<\/em>, the Silk Sonic star revealed how he secured his slot on the stage.<\/p>\n

He said: “They had already dropped a flyer for the Super Bowl. I was not on that shit.<\/p>\n

“I hit Dre direct. ‘Dre, what the fuck? Let me get on that joint. Let me play drums, something. I gotta get in there some way’. He said, ‘Hey, it’s all good.’”<\/p>\n

Paak then recalled what he was thinking while drumming during Eminem’s performance of “Lose Yourself”: “The way they orchestrated it, it went off without a hitch. That was a big moment for sure. I was like, ‘Should I smile?’ I couldn’t help it. And I’m like, ‘I’m going to be straight-faced.’ And then, as you can see, I had the biggest fucking smile the whole time. I tried. I was hyped.”<\/p>\n

Kendrick Lamar would then return to the Super Bowl stage three years later for his record breaking performance which also saw a guest appearance by SZA.<\/p>\n

Samuel L. Jackson, who made a cameo in the show, revealed that he believed Kendrick’s performance was “revolutionary”.<\/p>\n

He said on Paloma Faith\u2019s Mad Sad Bad podcast: \u201cI didn\u2019t know what they were doing. It was kinda trip<\/a>py because it wasn\u2019t until dress rehearsal that when I looked up and I looked on that stage and I go, \u2018Oh shit, that\u2019s a flag. Ah, fuck, we\u2019re being revolutionaries.\u2019 Because I wasn\u2019t listening or paying attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson appeared throughout the performance, playing a version of Uncle Sam, essentially narrating Kendrick\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams and Mustard also made brief cameos during the performance which was highly acclaimed if controversial for its references to Kendrick’s beef with Drake, topped off with a rendition of “Not Like Us”.<\/p>\n

\n

During the actual performance of \u201cNot Like Us\u201d, Kendrick self-censored the \u201ccertified pedophile\u201d line but smirked to the camera as he rapped:\u00a0\u201cSay Drake, I hear you like \u2019em young \/ You better not ever go to cell block one \/ To any [bitch] that talk to him and they in love \/ Just make sure you hide your lil\u2019 sister from him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
