Lil Jon Halftime Snub Sparks Fan Outrage
28 Nov
Summary
- Fans expressed anger over NBC's brief showing of Lil Jon's performance.
- The network showed only 10 seconds of Lil Jon's hit song 'Turn Down For What'.
- Other halftime performances from Post Malone and Jack White were fully aired.
NFL fans have voiced significant frustration with NBC following the network's decision to provide only a minimal showing of rapper Lil Jon's halftime performance during the Bengals-Ravens game. While attendees at M&T Bank Stadium experienced the full show, viewers watching at home were left incensed after the broadcast featured a mere 10 seconds of Lil Jon's 2013 hit, 'Turn Down For What.'
The abbreviated coverage ignited a firestorm on social media, with numerous fans expressing their discontent. Questions arose regarding the disparity between Lil Jon's treatment and the complete broadcasts of other Thanksgiving halftime performances, including those by Post Malone and Jack White featuring Eminem. Many viewers felt slighted, especially after the network had promoted Lil Jon's appearance.
This incident occurred shortly after other artists like Post Malone, who performed during the Cowboys-Chiefs game, and Jack White, joined by Eminem for the Lions-Packers game, had their full sets aired. Post Malone's performance notably included a tribute to late Cowboys player Marshawn Kneeland. The stark contrast in coverage has left fans questioning NBC's editorial choices.
