Lil Jon says he understands Maroon 5′s decision to cancel its news conference to discuss the band’s Super Bowl halftime performance with reporters.
Maroon 5, with frontman Adam Levine, was supposed to speak with the media Thursday to promote their Super Bowl 53 appearance, but decided to cancel and let their “show do the talking.”
Maroon 5 did not give a reason for its decision to forgo the press conference, which most halftime acts have participated in.
However, it comes as some entertainers have said social injustice needs to be addressed during the Super Bowl.
The band will be joined by Big Boi of Outkast and rapper Travis Scott at halftime of the game between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots.
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick helped start a wave of protests by kneeling during the national anthem to raise awareness to police brutality, racial inequality and other social issues.
