Jack Harlow’s Halftime Show Deemed the ‘Worst Ever’ at NFL Thanksgiving Game

Jack Harlow’s stock continues to rise in the world of hip-hop and there is a good reason for that. Jack had his first number-one hit less than a year after he rose to superstardom due to his collaboration with Lil Nas X. That did not save him from getting brutally roasted after his performance at the NFL Thanksgiving game.

Jack Harlow was subjected to a lot of trolling online, following his halftime show at the NFL Thanksgiving game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. The Kentucky native got trolled for what many felt was a terrible performance at the game.

Taking the stage with the home team trailing 23-6 at halftime, Harlow presented a brief medley featuring his Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “First Class” and “Whats Poppin.” The performance didn’t really set the world on fire and instead got a ton of criticism.

One fan called it the “worst halftime show ever.” Another user expressed their strong dislike, stating, “That Jack Harlow halftime show may have been the worst halftime show in the history of Thanksgiving day halftime shows.” Some even went after the lack of a production budget for the whole performance.

In response to the backlash, Jack Harlow took to his Instagram Stories to share the personal significance of his participation in the Thanksgiving halftime show. He revealed that his decision to perform was driven by the opportunity itself and his deep connections to Detroit.

“On some real s*** the main thing that pushed me to say yes to this Thanksgiving halftime show aside from the opportunity itself is how much family I have in Detroit and all the times I spent growing up visiting the city.

I kid you not my great-great-grandfather had a heart attack and passed away in the stands at the Lions Thanksgiving game in the 1960s and I’m not even b********** so you know I had to bring it home for bro.”

While Jack Harlow was criticized, performances by other artists during the NFL Thanksgiving games received positive reviews. For example, Dolly Parton’s halftime set at the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders game won the hearts of many. Regardless, Jack Harlow will take this as a learning experience and hopefully do better next time.
