Drake has turned down the biggest stage in the world — more than once — according to podcaster and frequent Drizzy defender Jamil “Mal” Clay.
In an episode of his podcast with Rory Farrell, New Rory & MAL, that was released on Tuesday (September 10), Clay claimed that Drake has said no to the Super Bowl halftime show multiple times over the years.
“Drake has been offered this Super Bowl show for some years now and has turned it down,” Clay said. “Probably four years, he’s been offered to perform at the Super Bowl, said no for whatever reason.”
“Drake has turned down the Super Bowl a few years,” he reiterated, before the conversation moved on.

If Clay is correct, Drake turning down the Super Bowl halftime show would be significant, because his rival Kendrick Lamar will be taking the stage for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
Not everyone is happy about the choice, with some feeling New Orleans native Lil Wayne would have been a more appropriate choice.
Nicki Minaj expressed her dismay in an explosive yet subliminal social media rant where she accused JAY-Z, whose company Roc Nation is the NFL’s live music entertainment strategist, of denying her label boss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over personal grievances with the Young Money camp.
“Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!!” she wrote.
Soon after Nicki Minaj’s tirade, Birdman also chimed in on the debate surrounding Lil Wayne not being chosen as the halftime performer for Super Bowl LIX.
He, too, appeared to throw a jab at JAY-Z, tweeting: “These n-ggaz Pussi @NICKIMINAJ @Drake @LilTunechi YMCMB. I’m make these n-ggaz respek us on Gladys,” referencing his mother, Gladys Brooks.
In a second post, the Cash Money mogul added: “Hatin shit 4real.”
Cam’ron shared his unfiltered thoughts on his sports talk show It Is What It Is.
He began by singing K. Dot’s praises, saying: “Listen, I love Kendrick Lamar, I love the Pop Out. I think he’s one of the top artist of this generation, period,” before bluntly admitting: “Hate the selection.”
“It’s in New Orleans and you don’t get Lil Wayne? That’s what we doing? You don’t get Lil Wayne in New Orleans for the Super Bowl? It’s no reason why Lil Wayne should not be performing at the Super Bowl,” Cam added.
Drake never turned down Mal glazing his nuts though.
Nobody turns down the Superbowl Halftime show unless they’re a scared bitch. Stop the glazing Mal it’s disgusting.
Joe dropped that clown at the perfect time. He’s been spiraling for a while now.
Waiting for gay greg to somehow justify this.
No one would ever turn down the Superbowl. You get paid a shitload of money and at the same time could gain millions of fans who might not have ever heard your music. Swear drake supporters will lie about anything to protect that simp.
Actually, you don’t. I don’t believe that Drake has ever even been offered the Superbowl, but facts are facts, and the fact of the matter is, no one single person has gotten paid for doing the super bowl half time show. Artist just do it because of the look and bragging rights, but no, no one gets paid to do the half time show.
That’s false. Artists used to get paid millions for their Super Bowl performances. It was like that for years. They stopped paying the artists about a decade or so ago (Beyoncé was the last person to get paid)…. but the performer still makes tons of money from their music sales reaching the top of the charts for the Super Bowl and the weeks that follow…
Absolute 🧢 Absolute 🐂💩
they stopped paying acts to play the super bowl at least 10 or 15 years ago. You pay to play. Years they get a super big act like Lady Gaga it’s because they got a sponsor to pay for her. That’s why it’s a lot of these mid acts lately like Weeknd. Benderick paid the most and he had the big song so he got the show. If Weezy engineer mad it’s because they made a better offer and it didn’t go through.
Very sad aka Gay Greg 😂😭🤣
Stop liking your own comments. It’s pathetic. Go outside and make some friends.
GAY GREG is MAAAAAAAAAAD 😂 😭🤣
Nothing more pathetic than slobbering for a proven pedo 😂 take your own advice, Drake won’t fuck you bro!! You’re too old!!
This isn’t shocking tbh I can see why someone might turn this down. Waiting for Wayne to chime in
Mal is a bum
This isn’t shocking tbh I can see why someone might turn this down. Waiting for Wayne to chime in
Drake at the O2 arena is the Super Bowl
Yeah right . Only a fool would believe that
Don’t let this absolutely dick gargler get a headline. He sucks so much Drake cock that ak and ish are crying in line
Drake numbers is outta here. Doing the Super Bowl does absolutely nothing for him. Drake is a World Cup artist, not a Super Bowl artist.
Ha ha ha ha, no he hasn’t. Drake turn down the chance to perform in front of millions? Ha ha ha, he’d turn up to an opening of a new TJ Maxx for the attention, the bish.
Drake is gay
Yeah… right. Of course he’ll say he turned it down when his career is in a slump.
great greg is going to explode lol he’s always covering Drake’s ass for no reason.
Of course he turned it down so he could be at my birthday party at my boyfriend’s house
Drake turning down Superbowl would be very onbrand for him being such a dumb ass.
