Jermaine Dupri is denying any involvement in the upcoming Super Bowl LIII halftime show in Atlanta. After Jazze Pha alluded to JD’s participation in the event last week, the So So Def founder refuted the claims while speaking to TMZ.
When a paparazzo asked about Jazze Pha’s insinuation, Dupri shook his head and said, “Not that I know of.” The interviewer expressed some disbelief, which prompted JD to be more definitive with his answer.
“You think I’m saying no because it’s a secret?” Dupri told the paparazzo before laughing. “No means no.”
Dupri was then asked if he wasn’t participating in the show out of respect for former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. JD made it clear that wasn’t the case. It was simply a matter of not being asked to be involved. He also noted his lack of interest in being a last minute addition.
“It just should’ve been a decision they made at the beginning,” he said. “I’m not something that you call in on [late].”
Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi have officially been announced as the performers for the Super Bowl LIII halftime show. While Dupri denies any involvement in the upcoming performance, Jazze Pha has claimed more artists will be participating in the concert.
“I think Lil Jon and Jermaine Dupri and everybody are gonna make it hot, gonna make it live,” Jazze Pha said. “Maybe I let the cat out the bag, I don’t know. There are other people. You ain’t never seen nothing like it.”
Although Dupri may not be part of the actual halftime show, he will be staging multiple events in Atlanta during Super Bowl week. Migos, Ludacris and Young Thug are among the ATL rappers scheduled to perform during the festivities.

I also double down on not going to the Super Bowl. Like Jermaine, I wasn’t invited and am broke.
Blacks are cutting off their nose to spite their face when it comes to the NFL. You are all still mad because the Arab, Colon K, is not playing? Thank his stupid agenda pushing ass for his own demise. His Hamas girl didn’t help either when she went on Twitter mocking people trying to help him get on a team. His own fault.
Yeah just like Ali not going to Vietnam doesnt mean you didn’t lose the war. Spend time on books. You will do yourself a favour idiot
Hahaha. I’ll take this one. I have a degree in English and speak 3 languages fluently. I’ve lived all over the world. My family is from a “developing” country, I grew up in one. Ali not going to Vietnam landed him in JAIL. Not a Nike contract. Idiot. The third verse of the “Star Spangled Banner” refers to killing the British AND their slaves during battle. Both sides of the battlefield had slaves at the time. Let’s wipe that out and pretend it didn’t happen, yet let’s keep acting like that’s the reason people can act like savages? Moron? Pick one, slave card, or pretend slavery didn’t exist. I’d also like to have you name ONE American slave ship. We’ll wait… There were none. They we’re ALL British. Dipshit. Maybe YOU should read a book. Also read into WHO sold all of those slaves to the British and Portuguese. Brazil had WAY more slaves than the US did. No black people there are making excuses and crying about BRAZIL, who gave them freedom and expelled the Portuguese. Funny, right? As far as “you didn’t lose the war” and Vietnam is concerned, you don’t sound like you are from here (the US). I’m guessing your from some shithole country with a 3rd division soccer team. WTF does Vietnam have to do with people protesting a Super Bowl in the U.S.? Do you realize that black people kill (in this order) more black people and other people than any other demographic in the U.S.? Including the cops killing people? Please use a giant black dildo as a pacifier and sit your wherever the fuck your from ass down. Grown men from the country that brought your ass Hip Hop are talking (typing). Wierd ass, cosplay poo butt.
