Even Boosie Thinks So
Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz has been vocal: Chris Brown deserves the Super Bowl halftime stage. He’s posted videos and X threads calling it “disrespectful” that Brown hasn’t headlined yet. And Chris himself chimed in after Bad Bunny’s 2026 show: “I think it’s safe to say… they need me!” (full story here)
It’s not just fans talking — other artists are making sure the NFL knows.
