50 Cent made a surprise upside-down entrance at the Super Bowl halftime show, and Eminem dramatically took a knee.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. --
It was a rare Super Bowl halftime show performed in the daylight, but it still had a feeling of a nightclub at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, with a set made up to look like the houses of nearby Compton and South LA.50 Cent, not among the announced performers, started his"In Da Club" while hanging upside inside one of the rooms.
The crowd had lanyards with LED lights that flashed in coordination with the show's beats, turning the whole stadium into a light show. The 38-year-old Texas native, best known for her hit"Black Like Me," made history as the first Black woman to earn a Grammy nomination in a country category and first Black solo woman to host the ACM Awards. She's a four-time Grammy nominee - up for three at the upcoming ceremony in April.Standing on the field, the actor grabbed a mic and put on his old wrestling persona to introduce the teams just before kickoff, in the style of an announcer before a big fight.
Johnson played football himself for the University of Miami, where he won a national championship in 1991. The duo, sisters Erica Campbell and Trecina Atkins-Campbell, grew up in the same neighborhood as the Super Bowl stadium.
