Boosie Badazz speaks on Dr. Dre’s Super Bowl Halftime show.
This year’s super bowl halftime show was special for the hip-hop culture as Dr. Dre teamed up with Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent for an iconic performance. Boosie Badazz, who was a recent guest on Vladtv as a promo run for his new album “Heartfelt“, was asked about his opinion on the Super Bowl LVI. “I was impressed,” he said. “I was definitely impressed. Dre is a role model.”
The rapper was then asked about his reaction to Eminem, who made headlines for taking the knee in Los Angeles. “I didn’t know until I saw it on Instagram,” he reveals. “Eminem, I feel like he’s a stand-up guy. ‘I’m the only one out here this colour [White], Imma finna take a motherf**king knee. Let y’all know I am with y’all, straight up. And plus he’s from Detroit, he raised around [Black people]… he got a different love probably for us that most people have when you raised around black people. People don’t know the love we have if you’re not raised around us if you’re never been around good black people. I like what Em did, he took a stand.”

Dr.Dre also answered on Em taking the knee in a recent interview with TMZ. “Em taking the knee, that was Em doing that on his own, and there was no problem with that,” he explained. As for Lamar’s set, he noted that organizers were instead concerned with the lyrics from “m.A.A.d city,” where he raps, “If Pirus and Crips all got along.” “They had a problem with that, so we had to take that out. No big deal, we get it,” Dre continued. “But, all in all, everybody came in, we were professional, everybody was on time. Everybody felt the magnitude of what this thing was, and what we were going to be able to accomplish. It was a fantastic experience.”
The NFL has refuted accusations that it sought to prevent Eminem from kneeling during his Super Bowl halftime show performance. Eminem dropped a knee and cradled his head in his palm as his version of Lose Yourself concluded, in apparent honour to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who kneeled during in the national anthem to protest police brutality during the 2016 season. “We watched all elements of the show during multiple rehearsals this week and were aware that Eminem was going to do that,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
