Discussing the upcoming event during a live episode of Drink Champs at ComplexCon 2024, Snoop explained that JAY is giving a platform to hip-hop artists that they never had access to before. "What we need to think about is that before JAY-Z got control of the Super Bowl wasn't no n**gas performing.
