Drake Reportedly Rejected Super Bowl Halftime Show Offers Multiple Times

Drake has reportedly turned down the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show multiple times over the past few years. According to Jamil “Mal” Clay, co-host of the New Rory & MAL podcast, Drake has been approached by the NFL on several occasions, with offers spanning at least four years, but he has consistently declined without public explanation. This revelation came to light amid discussions surrounding Kendrick Lamar being chosen to headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, a decision that sparked conversations about why other major artists like Drake or Lil Wayne haven't taken the stage yet​.

Drake's decision is notable given the prestige associated with the halftime show, one of the most-watched musical performances worldwide. Fans and commentators alike have speculated on why Drake continues to pass on such a significant opportunity, especially as other prominent artists take the spotlight.
