Travis Scott will be performing at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show along with Big Boi and Maroon 5. Although there were reports that Jay Z and more were trying to talk him out of it, Scott said yes to the appearance…under one condition.

Scott, recently criticized for his stance on Mike Brown’s death, had the NFL donate to the social justice group Dream Corps. “I back anyone who takes a stand for what they believe in,” Scott said in a statement, according to HighSnobiety. “I know being an artist that it’s in my power to inspire. So before confirming the Super Bowl halftime performance, I made sure to partner with the NFL on this important donation. I am proud to support Dream Corps and the work they do that will hopefully inspire and promote change.”

The upcoming Super Bowl and its beleaguered halftime show set with Maroon 5 continues to take hits according to news reports. Cardi B was slated to join the performance but turned it down, allegedly because she wanted a large fee to do so.

Page Six reports:

The Bronx breakout star, who features on Maroon 5’s recent No. 1 hit “Girls Like You,” has been repeatedly invited to join the band during its halftime performance on Feb. 3.

However, a source close to the negotiations said, “Cardi B is standing tough and holding out. She doesn’t want to do it unless they roll out the red carpet for her.”

The source claimed that the diva rapper had demanded a staggering fee of up to $1 million, plus a solo spot in the epic halftime show to make it worth her while.

Artists are not paid for the halftime show, but are given a “gift in kind” by the NFL to cover expenses such as production, transport and wardrobe.

The outlet adds that Cardi B might also be pushing back in doing the performance to show support for Colin Kaepernick.
