 <\/p>\n

An\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0employee has vowed that the\u00a0Super Bowl<\/a>\u00a0halftime show will undergo some changes following Kendrick Lamar\u2019s controversial performance at Super Bowl LIX last week.<\/p>\n

The rapper had all eyes on him during the break at the big game on Sunday and set a record for the most views. Some described the outing as the worst in Super Bowl history, while others loved it.<\/p>\n

An anonymous league higher-up has been quoted as saying the NFL considers the selection a mistake due to the\u00a0\u201ctension\u201d\u00a0<\/em>surrounding the 37-year-old performer. They added that things will be different moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will push for change, as we don\u2019t want to experience this kind of thing next season,\u201d the employee said, per\u00a0The U.S. Sun<\/a>. \u201cThe tension linked with Kendrick made us regret giving him the green light. I\u2019m not the only one who thinks this way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The NFL took a lot of heat after snubbing New Orleans native\u00a0Lil Wayne<\/a>, who was expected to land the gig. The Sun has also \u201cconfirmed\u201d they sent the \u201cMr. Carter\u201d artist a written apology.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Their source suggested that one of the decision-makers had too much power and responsibility, hence the selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same kind of mistake won\u2019t ever happen again,\u201d they continued. \u201cThat is what happens when you give too much power and responsibility to one person. There are many people in the NFL that want to see some changes. They didn\u2019t like this year\u2019s halftime show and the way it happened.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jay-Z\u2019s Roc Nation controls the Super Bowl halftime show, which has been the case since 2019. The NFL recently extended their partnership.<\/p>\n

Despite the above, the deal seems to have worked out very well for the NFL, as this year\u2019s show set a ratings record, drawing 133.5 million views.<\/p>\n

The performance is also being vaunted as the most-watched event in television history as it may have attracted more viewers than the moon landing in 1969.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot just halftime shows. According to Nielsen ratings history, an estimated 125-150 million people watched the moon landing. it\u2019s quite possible that Kendrick Lamar\u2019s halftime show is the most-viewed event in the history of television. At the very least, it\u2019s #2,\u201d writer Michael Harriot noted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
