The NFL has issued a statement on this subject.
"It's a Super Bowl tradition to speculate on the performers for the Pepsi halftime show," said a league representative. "We continue to work with (longtime sponsor) Pepsi on our projects but we have no ads to make on what will be another epic show."
But it was enough for Twitter to get to work.
People have wondered why in Atlanta – where, to quote the song "Welcome to Atlanta" by Jermaine Dupri, "all playas play" – a choice with local links had not been made.
"Atlanta, home of Outkast, T.I., Future, Ludacris, Usher, etc., gets that Maroon 5 plays the fucking Super Bowl," tweeted sports analyst Jake Reuse.
After all, ATL is the city that gave birth to fried hip hop from the south.
One of his most famous ambassadors even had something to say about choosing Maroon 5.
"Excuse me for saying what !?" The rapper and Atlanta native, Ludacris, wrote in a caption of a photo he posted on Instagram and wearing himself an Atlanta Falcons jersey.
Should we take this to mean: Move Maroon 5, get out of the way?
