Infantino Says Drake Could Headline the First World Cup Halftime Show in 2026
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has responded to the idea of Canadian superstar Drake headlining the first-ever halftime show at the 2026 World Cup final.
FIFA recently announced that Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, is helping plan a Super Bowl-style halftime show for next year’s World Cup final.
During an interview with Fox5, Infantino reacted positively to the suggestion of Drake being the main act.
The host proposed the idea, saying, “I have a great idea for the halftime show — Drake! Since Kendrick Lamar did his thing at the Super Bowl…”
Infantino agreed, saying, “That’s a good idea. We could create a bit of rivalry, right? Actually, Drake was with us when we announced the host cities… We’ll work on getting him for the halftime show.”
The 2026 World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which will be renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for the tournament, on July 19, 2026. FIFA also plans to host a major event at Times Square during the final weekend of the competition, which will be co-hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
