In the past, halftime performances for NFL games were specifically reserved for the Super Bowl. But recently, they have also tapped talent for their Thanksgiving Day matchups. It is also one of the most prominent days of the NFL season. Among those performers will be music star Post Malone.
Malone Set to Headline NFL’s Thanksgiving Halftime Show
Malone will perform during the halftime of the Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
When speaking about his upcoming performance, the Texas native shared his excitement about the opportunity.
“I’m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years. It’s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people,” he said (via AllHipHop).
It will be interesting to see what’s in store for Malone’s performance.
Malone has collaborated with some of the top hip-hop acts, such as Young Thug, Doja Cat, and Quavo. So naturally, he has been classified as a rapper. However, despite collaborating with some of the top artists in the genre, rap legend Raekwon isn’t convinced that Post Malone fits the description of a hip-hop artist.
“Prime example, and this ain’t s******g on nobody. Post Malone, right?. I love him as an artist. And if you look him up in the dictionary or Google or whatever, they call him an American rapper. Now my thing is, when I think of Post Malone, he’s singing all the time. Not taking anything away from him. Or saying that he can’t rhyme, but all of that is something else,” he said during a July appearance on Nightcap.
“You see what I’m saying? See how the white boys do the rock? You got contemporary rock, punk rock, you got all these different types of rock. But when it comes to hip-hop, everything ya’ll n****s is calling hip-hop, it ain’t hip-hop, bro.”
