Now that Adele is out of the running for the Super Bowl 51 halftime show, the door is open for another performer to step in and throw down. Who should be. A insurgent Twitter movement is making the case for Kanye West.
Engineered by TeamKanyeDaily, the trending hashtag #KanyeWestForSuperBowl51 constitutes a petition for Kanye West, who has never performed at a Super Bowl halftime show, to take the stage a SB 51 in Houston. The Super Bowl is the most-watched annual sporting event, and the halftime show usually features one or more of the world's most popular musical artists. Rappers beyond the Pitbull/LMFAO/Black Eyed Peas mold have seldom been given much shine at the event, although Missy Elliot did make an appearance two years ago.
Here's how Twitter is making the case for #KanyeWestForSuperBowl51. Sign the petition here.
