BREAKING NEWS: FROM THE NFL “JANET JACKSON IS NOT BANNED FROM THE SUPER BOWL AND IS WELCOME TO PERFORM”

Well look at this ish? As news broke Sunday night that Justin Timberlake will perform at the Super Bowl LII halftime show this February, a backlash to the booking erupted on social media

Using the #JusticeForJanet hashtag, critics condemned the NFL for booking Timberlake, considering his role in the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” with Janet Jackson. In receiving an invitation to perform while Jackson appeared persona non grata to the NFL, posters suggested, Timberlake was enjoying “white male privilege.”

The NFL has now taken steps to defuse the tensions surrounding Timberlake’s booking. “There’s no ban” on a possible Jackson appearance, an NFL spokesperson wrote in a statement to MEdia outlets. “We are not going to comment on any speculation regarding potential guests. There may be no guests.”

The statement continued: “Along with Pepsi, we’re excited to have Justin Timberlake. Like the elite NFL players who can run, catch, and block, Justin can do it all — sing, dance, act, and entertain. He’s the ultimate global superstar who we know will put on an entertaining and unifying show that will appeal to the massive worldwide audience.”

TO BE HONEST here The NFL never banned her. The Grammys did. But I don’t know what do y’all think Jam Fam? Should she or shouldn’t she?
