With Maroon 5 thought to be headlining the 2019 Super Bowl, talk turns to special guests – and new rumours suggest none other than Cardi B is in talks to join the band on stage.

Held on 3 February at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, the annual event is one of the biggest stages in the world – nearly 120 million people tuned in worldwide in 2017 to watch Lady Gaga – but it is thought that the pop rock band are keen to get the 25-year-old rapper on board so they can perform their current hit sing Girls Like You.

(Or, they could just call up Millie Bobby Brown.)

There’s just one slight hitch – the Bodak Yellow hitmaker is reportedly causing issues as she wants her own solo set.



That’s not how this works, Cardi.

NFL have played down the rumours that the Moves Like Jagger hitmakers were be the headliners, and have insisted they won’t made any official announcements any time soon: ‘It’s a Super Bowl tradition to speculate about the performers for the Pepsi Halftime Show.

‘We are continuing to work with Pepsi on our plans but do not have any announcements to make on what will be another epic show.’

If however Cardi does perform during the half-time show, it’ll be her first major gig since she welcomed her daughter Kulture into the world two months ago.

The rap star was meant to be joining Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic tour this month but she pulled out at the last minute because she didn’t feel fit enough to perform on stage every night nor ready to leave her daughter for too long.
