Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Quavo are set to perform at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game halftime show alongside scheduled headliner, Chance The Rapper. The game is set to take place at Chicago's United Center on Sunday, and the halftime show is turning out to be quite the star-studded affair.
As Wayne, Khaled, and Quavo are billed as "joining" Chance, the odds are in our favour that the four of them will be performing at least one of the collaborations they share amongst each other. Wayne, Quavo, and Chance are all featured on Khaled's 2017 hit, "I'm The One," along with Justin Bieber, and Chance and Quavo also hopped on Khaled's "No Brainer" with Bieber in 2018, though Wayne did not partake.

Common, Chance and Quavo are all set to play in the celebrity game on Friday, with Common and Chance serving as team captains. Other acts include Bad Bunny, Jidenna, and Chance's younger brother and fellow rapper, Taylor Bennett.

Jennifer Lopez Reflects On "The Best Super Bowl Of All Time" During Yacht After Party
Jennifer Lopez shared sweet words about her halftime show.
Jennifer Lopez and Shakira shut it down during the Super Bowl Halftime Show that took place in Miami just yesterday. The beloved acts welcomed Bad Bunny and J. Balvin on the stage and not one second of choreography or key was offbeat, proving that all that hard work and choreography paid off. After the show, JLo headed to JR and Loren Ridinger’s yacht with Alex Rodriguez by her side and reflected on her performance that she (and everyone around her) called the best yet.

“I was happy to stand up there with Shakira. Two Latina women – two women – who did one of the best Super Bowls of all time, ” she said before everyone agreed. “I am so grateful to all of you. I know how special it is to be able to go out there and hold up an American flag, a Puerto Rican flag and have my daughter sing with me and represent women, and single moms and working moms. This is what you can do.”
She added: “The message tonight was use your voice, get loud, stand up for yourself.”
“Thank you to my incredible team for the most epic halftime I could have ever imagined. I love you guys so much,” Jennifer wrote on Twitter after the show.

The two superstars will honour the late NBA legend during the halftime show.
It’s been a week since Kobe Bryant was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas along with his daughter Gianna and her basketball teammates and their parents. The NBA star was an icon in the sports world and beyond, and his legacy will be honoured during the Super Bowl halftime show, according to performers Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. During a press conference for the Super Bowl on Thursday, the co-headliners for the massive event revealed that there were plans in store to pay tribute to the Lakers legend at the Hard Rock Stadium.

“We’ll all be remembering Kobe on Sunday and celebrating life and diversity in this country,” Shakira said. “I’m sure he’d be very proud to see the message we are trying to convey on stage that day.” J-Lo added that the tribute will be “heartfelt,” and recalled the moment her husband, Alex Rodriguez, broke the news to her “with tears in his eyes” about Kobe’s passing while she was rehearsing. “It’s just reminding us how…fragile life is and how we have to appreciate every single moment and how we have to love people when they’re here and not wait. And how we don’t get the opportunity, it can be taken away from us so easily.”
She also noted how devastating the loss has been for Vanessa Bryant. “I think about Vanessa as a mom and losing her best friend and partner, and losing her child,” she said. “I think how awful that must be for her right now…I’ve just been praying that God guides her through every moment because she has three more babies to take care of.” Jennifer sent her love to Vanessa and her family in a tribute post to Kobe on Instagram last week.
