FIFA president responds after being asked to let Drake perform at World Cup final as payback for Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl show (video)
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is open to the idea of Canadian rapper Drake performing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
During the interview, host Rosanna Scotto suggested the idea of Drake headlining the World Cup Halftime Show, referencing the rapper’s ongoing tensions with Kendrick Lamar, who performed at the Super Bowl LIX.
“I have a great idea for you for the halftime,” Scotto said to Infantino.
“Drake. Because you were at the Super Bowl—Kendrick Lamar dissed him at the Super Bowl.”
Infantino, intrigued, responded, “So we can create a bit of a rivalry?”
“Yes,” Scotto replied enthusiastically.
“That’s a good idea,” Infantino said. “Actually, Drake was with us when we announced the host cities. I should have his number saved somewhere.”
Fans can still expect the World Cup’s first-ever halftime show this year.
On July 19, 2026, the World Cup will take place at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with the help of Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Phil Harvey helping create the event.
“I can confirm the first-ever half-time show at a FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey, in association with Global Citizen,” Infantino said during a press conference in Dallas on Wednesday (March 5). “This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world.”
