However, fans are convinced that the stars will do the Super Bowl LVI halftime show justice - taking to social media to share their excitement.
One fan made it known that the performance was their only reason to tune into the sporting event, saying: "Three of the greatest ever on one stage. Big fan of this.".
Another fan shared the same idea, writing: "I’ll actually watch the super bowl this year".

Other fan discussed their favourite from the line up, with strong bias towards Kendrick Lamar.
One Twitter user speculated that this may also be a clue that the 'Poetic Justice' rapper's long awaited album may be coming sooner than we think; writing: "KENDRICK LAMAR IS PERFORMING AT THE SUPER BOWL WE’RE GETTING AN ALBUM BEFORE THEN FOR SURE".
Another fan is equally excited for Kendrick, tweeting: "Kendrick Lamar multi Grammy winner, Pulitzer Prize winner, and now Super Bowl performer just a decade into his career. Insane.".
