Did Eminem just blow a big opportunity because he wanted too much money?? Well, I doubt it because he is already an international star, but performing at the Super Bowl is a chance to be seen by fans worldwide. Turns out Kanye Also got rejected because his asking price was too high. So who did owners settle on? Hit the jump for more.

The NFL owners meeting, which takes place during Super Bowl weekend in New York, was looking for a high profile act to entertain the crowd, which will be about 1,500 people. We aren’t talking about the halftime show, just a party during the weekend. Eminem turned down their initial offer and said he wanted $2 million for the gig. The owners decided to pass on him and went to Kanye West, who also wanted too much. He was asking $1 million, but also for too many perks that the owners decided he also was not worth it. So at the end of the day, Janelle Monae got the gig for a cheap (compared to the other two) $150,000! She probably could of gotten more if she knew what Em and Ye asked for. You guys think they were wrong for asking for so much?
Hell, na they aren’t asking to much the NFL is a multi billion dollar annually business, 2 million is chump change to them. That’s disrespectful to Em & Yezz if the NFL wouldn’t pay them that money
I agree. The NFL had no problem overcharging for attending games. Straight disrespectful.
Especially when jay gtin a mill doin regular shows dats da super bowl
He’ll no Em didn’t ask for a lot. But it sucks the nfl picked janelle m. She’s nice and everything but I won’t be hyped about the half time show now . Big boooooooooooo for that
We aren’t talking about the halftime show, just a party during the weekend of 1500 people.
Yes they wrong cuz like u said its just a gig and not the halftime show which will obviously have more people watchin! 150,000$ is pretty decent for that event
Janelle for a the Superbowl ? Coulda got better but they entitled to their asking prices because they would elevate the whole weekend by rocking the stage. Them performing would only hype everything up more and get the NFL even more planetary coverage. Eminem woulda made it huge, he got enoughhard records in his catalog to really charge up them arenas.
