50 Cent performs “In Da Club” at Super Bowl.
In the first part of the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show, 50 Cent surprised everyone by performing his Dre-coproduced blockbuster “In Da Club” after Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.
Following a duet of “The Next Episode” and Tupac’s “California Love” by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at California’s SoFi Stadium, the rapper performed a performance of his Dre co-produced smash, “In Da Club,” while emulating the upside-down posture he made in the original music video. A bunch of dancers joined 50 Cent in an impromptu club scene before the camera turned to Mary J. Blige, who performed a joyful rendition of Dre’s “Family Affair” before transitioning into the slow-burning “No More Drama.”
Kendrick Lamar then approached the stage, flanked by Black males wearing “Dre Day” sashes, to play “Alright” and an entrance to “m.A.A.d city.” Eminem then performed a medley of hits including “Forgot About Dre” and “Lose Yourself,” accompanied by Anderson.Paak on drums. The rapper took a knee at the end of the latter tune.
Jay-Z produced the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show, which took place in the Los Angeles region for the first time in 30 years and was the first-ever hip hop-focused halftime show. The Bengals-Rams game included L.A. hip hop icons Snoop, Dre, and Lamar making their Big Game debut. Eminem, a longstanding collaborator of Blige and Dre, also joined the three.
