Maroon 5 Chosen to Perform at Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show

Maroon 5 has been selected to perform at the upcoming Super Bowl LIII halftime show in Atlanta next year. However, not all are happy with the decision as some feel that there are other Atlanta-bred artists who would’ve been more appropriate choices for the job.

Since the championship game was revealed to be held in Atlanta, many hip-hop fans speculated on which acts they’d like to see put on a live show: Migos, Future, T.I., Ludacris, 2 Chainz and many more were some of the top mentions.

With Atlanta’s amazing hip hop and R&B Heritage the NFL goes with Maroon 5 for the Super Bowl halftime show. (Variety reporting). Lame.

I actually like Maroon 5 but we couldn’t get any hip-hop artists for a Super Bowl in Atlanta? pic.twitter.com/8zSCLn6IiC

Please, I beg of you, let’s not let the Jimmy Butler news distract us from the fact that Maroon 5 is headlining the Super Bowl IN ATLANTA.
