Dr. Dre Admits "There Were a Few Things We Had to Change" About Super Bowl Show

Fans are still buzzing over the Pepsi Halftime Show at Super Bowl LVI. Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent brought the house down and set a new standard for halftime shows; but rumors have persisted as to what, if anything, the NFL and FCC decreed the Hip-Hop legends could do during the performance.

Speaking to TMZ, Dr. Dre himself acknowledged that there were changes made.

“There were a few things that we had to change, but it was really minor things,” he explained. “Em taking a knee, that was Em doing that on his own. There was no problem with that. I think the beginning of Kendrick’s set, he says ‘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.

“But all in all, everybody came in, we were professional, everybody was on time and everybody really felt the magnitude of what this thing was and what we were going to be able to accomplish. It was a fantastic experience.”
