“The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr Dre, a native of Southern California along with Snoop Dogg and Lamar, said in a statement following the announcement in October last year. The seven-time Grammy winner promised that the performance will be an “unforgettable cultural moment”.

All five artists together have a combined 44 Grammy Awards. Eminem leads with 15 trophies. This will be the first time that the Super Bowl one of the biggest sporting events of the year in the US will return to the Los Angeles area. The game and the Halftime Show will air live on NBC. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Blige, and Lamar join a list of celebrated musicians who have played during Super Bowl halftime shows, including Beyoncé, Madonna, Coldplay, Katy Perry, U2, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira.

After what were some wild and somewhat bizarre games this past weekend, all the tickets have been punched for NFL Championship Sunday.  What just might be the best weekend on the NFL calendar got off to a dramatic start Saturday. The NFL divisional playoffs figured to be exciting with four intriguing matchups on the slate, and the first game didn't disappoint. The action kicked off with the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans in Nashville and came down to a game-winning 52-yard field goal by Bengals rookie Evan McPherson, which lifted Cincinnati into the AFC title game. The nightcap also came down to a walk-off field goal, as veteran Robbie Gould kicked the 49ers into the NFC title game and sent Aaron Rodgers and the Packers into an unknown future. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams upset Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-27, in the third consecutive thriller of the weekend to end on a walk-off field goal.

The weekend ended with what may have been the best game of the NFL season, and possibly the greatest postseason game ever, in Kansas City as Buffalo's Josh Allen and the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes put on an aerial show. The visiting Bills rallied for what figured to be a game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left for a 36-33 lead, but that was still too much time for Mahomes, as the Chiefs kicked a game-tying field goal as regulation ended to send the game into overtime. The Chiefs won the toss and marched down the field to win on a Mahomes to Travis Kelce touchdown pass.

Here are the dates and times for the remainder of the 2022 NFL Playoffs.

Snoop Dogg praises Trump for commuting sentence of Death Row Record co-founder Michael 'Harry O' Harris

Snoop Dogg is one happy fella and he has President Trump to thank for it.

The 49-year-old hip-hop icon praised Trump during his final hours in the White House for commuting the sentence of Death Row Records co-founder Michael "Harry O" Harris, who has served 30 years of a 25-year to life sentence for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

Trump issued 73 pardons and 70 sentence commutations early Wednesday as he prepared to leave office. Harris learned Tuesday he was among those who will be released early from prison.

"I love what he did," Snoop Dogg  -- real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. -- said of Trump's decision, according to the New York Post.

Harris, 59, showed "exemplary prison record for three decades," a statement released by the White House said. Harris is also said to have mentored fellow prisoners about becoming an entrepreneur, as well as completed business and journalism degrees.

Snoop Dogg continued to applaud Trump and his team for its "great work" ahead of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' inauguration ceremony Wednesday.

"They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know I love what they did," the "Gin and Juice" rapper said. "It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God."

The artist made these comments during a Zoom meeting with prison reform advocates Alice Marie Johnson and Weldon Angelos, the Post said. A rep for the rapper did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Johnson, who wrote a book in May 2019, is known for being released by Trump in 2019 with the help of reality-star-turned-prison-advocate Kim Kardashian. She had been in jail for more than 20 years, serving a life sentence on non-violent drug charges. Her release was filmed for an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

According to the Post, Angelos -- who received a full pardon from Trump in December -- believes Ivanka Trump played an important role in Harris' pardon. "The credit on this one goes to Ivanka Trump because Ivanka Trump was not goign to take no for an answer," he allegedly said in the Zoom call.

Angelos also called it "a huge win for hip hop."

Snoop Dogg's recent comments are a reversal from critical statements he made about Trump just months before the 2020 presidential election.

"Donald Trump is a f--king weirdo," he reportedly said in June in a video on Twitter . "If you voted for him, I don't have no problem with that. But if you're still with him, f--k you."
