We hear that fast-rising rapper Gunna – who upset The Weeknd on the Billboard 200 chart by hitting No. 1 last week – will perform during DirecTV and Maxim’s Super Bowl LVI weekend party in Los Angeles on Feb. 11.at City Market. The two-day party, dubbed “MaximBet Music At The Market Powered by DIRECTV,” will also include a Feb. 12 show headlined by producer and DJ Tiësto, with 50 Cent hosting.
Sources say The Weeknd – who headlined the halftime show at last year’s Super Bowl – will perform at a competing party the same night. Gunna’s new album, “DS4Ever,” debuted the same day as The Weeknd’s latest effort, “Dawn FM,” with GunnaSince then, both Gunna, 28, and The Weeknd, 31, have subsequently been displaced atop the charts by Disney soundtrack “Encanto,” which bounced back into the top spot this week after falling to No. 3.Best Image / BACKGRID
Awesome. Another super bowl halftime where entire songs will have to be bleeped to meet FCC standards.
