Nas is not interested in performing at the Super Bowl.

The Grammy-winning rapper recently shared with Complex that he prefers to leave the Super Bowl halftime “to the professionals.”

“Nah, I don't want to do … I can't say I don't want to do the Super Bowl, but I don't,” Nas said. “Why would I do that? Leave it to the professionals. Leave it to the pros. I'm a pro at what I do.

“I want to watch dope halftime shows and that's what has been happening lately so salute to all of them,” he added.

Nas is a respected lyricist and a hip-hop icon, but his Grammy win came a little later in his career. He won his first Grammy in the Best Rap Album category for King's Disease in 2021 after being previously nominated 14 times.

The Super Bowl has had several rappers in recent years, such as Kendrick Lamar earlier this year and in 2022, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and Kendrick performed at the Super Bowl.
