This conversation just won’t die out…
Steve Stoute was the most recent guest on The Pivot podcast, where he and the co-hosts discussed a lot of business topics and their overlap with the music industry and other entertainment businesses. Of course, they had to touch on the Super Bowl halftime show controversy at some point, with some still arguing between Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne. However, Stoute focused instead on the rumors that Drake turned down the headlining slot in the past, and also defended Jay-Z’s decision-making and what he perceives as selflessness in the way that he handles the selection process.
“I will confirm: Drake was offered the Super Bowl twice,” Steve Stoute began. “Drake did turn down the Super Bowl twice. And I’m sure if Drake would’ve said yes, he would’ve brought Lil Wayne out at some point, right? He probably would’ve brought out Nicki, which is probably why she’s upset because she’s not on the stage. But Drake turned it down twice. So, like, this, ‘the NFL, somebody spoke to’ – No. He turned it down twice, which is fine. He didn’t want to do it.

“He has a catalog. He can rock. He’s nice. He’s not even choosing himself,” Steve Stoute concluded. “To me, that should be celebrated. That he’s not being selfish and he’s helping these artists and giving them what they deserve. And not being selfish about it and choosing only, you know, Roc Nation acts or himself. Because if it was just that, I could understand it. But for it to come down like this is just… To me, this s**t is corny. And it makes the hip-hop community, the Black community… It leaves a stain.”
