Nicki Minaj, MIA Confirm Super Bowl Performance With Madonna

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: | Updated on July 6, 2018 CommentsComments (0)

Nicki Minaj has confirmed her performance with Madonna for the halftime show at the 2012 NFL Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.

After dropping a clue in a Stupid Hoe lyric, Minaj confirmed the news with a tweet: “Super Bowl rehearsals w/the Queen 😉 —-> RT @HumbleNika: @NICKIMINAJ what does your agenda contain today Nic? :)”

Meanwhile Material Girl girl Madonna is drumming up some noise around the performance and her upcoming album MDNA with a few jabs at the expense of others.

Madonna ensured her performance will not be “naughty” or of the Janet Jackson entertainment variety—taking a not-so-coy jab at the infamous nipple incident.

“You don’t have to show nipples to be interesting. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re cutting edge if you do, right?”

“I’m planning something super entertaining,”

While the pop icon has much to say, she is not dishing on who she intends to bring out to help with her halftime show. But according to sources, Cee Lo Green will be joining Madge to bring a different vibe to her classics. And last year’s performer Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am has told Capital FM that LMFAO will also be performing with the 53-year-old.

“I’m going to the Super Bowl this year to see my group LMFAO perform with Madonna,” Will.i.am told the U.K. music station.

Rumor also has it that M.I.A will also join the now confirmed Nicki Minaj to perform ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’, which will make it’s debut during ‘American Idol’ this Thursday night. The pair are featured as co-writers for the first single on Madonna’s forthcoming “M.D.N.A.”, due out March 26.

Will you catch Madonna and Nicki Minaj’s halftime show during Super Bowl?

UPDATE: MIA has also confirmed she will join Nicki Minaj and Madonna to perform ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ at halftime:

“Yes, I’m going to the Super Bowl… I’m gonna be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj… If you’re gonna go to the Super Bowl, you might as well go with America’s biggest female icons.”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
