The 2022 Super Bowl and Halftime show – produced by Rocnation – is coming up on Feb 13 and Snoop Dogg is hyped – billing it as “the greatest performance… in hip-hop history.”
Snoop talked about the superstar lineup – including Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige – during an appearance on “Monday Night Football” with football legends Eli and Peyton Manning.
“We’re so thankful that the NFL is accepting hip-hop on stage and letting us do what we do,” Snoop said. “We’re gonna give you the greatest performance you’ve ever seen in hip-hop history.”
