Eminem

Marshall Mathers, known as Eminem or Slim Shady, is a rapper, songwriter, producer and starred in “8 Mile,” a movie based on his life that won an Oscar for Best Original Song. 

The Detroit native has long mentioned football in his songs, referencing Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, John Madden, LaDainian Tomlinson, field goals and more.

Eminem and Dr. Dre have a long history together, with Dre discovering Eminem after an early mixtape of his ended up in Dre’s hands.

Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre is known as a rapper, record producer, actor, entrepreneur and is the CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. He co-founded and co-owned Death Row Records. 

Dr. Dre rose to fame in the 1990s with the rap group N.W.A. and released his first solo album “The Chronic” in 1992. On top of his own music career, he helped launch the career of many — including Eminem and 50 Cent.

Dre has songs with Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige, all of whom are set to perform during halftime. Dre has added two deaf rappers, Sean Forbes and Warren “WaWa” Snipe, to the halftime performance, marking the first time sign language interpreters will be included in the halftime show.
