You nikkas implying politics being involved in that SB decision means nothing. It's all politicking at the end of the day. Or it could be as simple as the nikka being one of the biggest artists in the world, currently in the middle of the biggest year of his career, being selected because he's great at what he does. Y'all are putting way too much thought into this.
Entitled to praise is a bit of a stretch imo. It's morseo about integrity and standing on how you feel regardless of how other perceive you or your intentions. The SB announcement gave everybody a chance to do what they've BEEN wanting to do all year, which was shyt on him, but they had no real reason to do so. Never has there been so much emotion and rage about a a damn halftime performance announcement. Ever.
