Kanye West has given three reasons why he was passed on to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

The Super Bowl halftime show has gradually evolved from what it used to be years ago to a major cultural event, attracting millions of viewers, showcasing top artistes, and influencing pop culture.

The event is graced by some of the biggest names in entertainment, with renowned stars tapped to thrill the crowd.

Speaking via his X account in a now-deleted post, Kanye West claimed that he was shunned because of three moments: George Bush not caring about black folks, the Taylor Swift movement, and him wearing a MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat.

“I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments. George Bush doesn’t care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. And wearing a MAGA hat,” he said.
