Deaf Detroit Rapper Tapped to Perform With Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg at Super Bowl Halftime Show
#jaiyeorie The Detroit Free Press reports Sean Forbes, 40, will get the chance of a lifetime next weekend, as he’s set to take the stage at SoFi Stadium with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
In what marks the first time the Super Bowl halftime show will feature ASL interpreters, Forbes and fellow deaf rapper Warren (WaWa) Snipe, 50, will perform sign-language interpretations of the headliners’ music.
“The doors to accessibility are busted wide open with something like this,” Forbes said. “So this is very much a full-circle moment, being from Detroit, being part of the Eminem camp, or even going back to being 12 and listening to N.W.A., Dre and Snoop on my Walkman.”
He added, “My goal is to get out there, show what we can do, and have fun. And I want to open the door for other deaf performers.”
Meanwhile, it isn’t WaWa’s first time performing at the Super Bowl. Snipe accompanied Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church during last year’s game for a rendition of the national anthem and “America the Beautiful.” “feel free to disagree in the comments and let me know what you think!”
