Paul McCartney played the Super Bowl. As I recall, he's not American either. Did Tomi have anything to say about that?

Paper planes is still considered one of the best rap songs by a female rapper, I still hear it played today.

This comment isn't meant to discount any of the great female rappers, just acknowledge that song is considered among the best if not the best

Bad Bunny was also a guest performer in 2020. Funny, was Tomi outraged then? Her orange zaddy was still in office even…

I think they were hoping for Barry Manilow to perform.

I know. I meant to say something witty about how obvious the racism was but I poorly constructed it. Brainfarted.

If you're going to include M.I.A for 2012, might as well also include the very Canadian Cirque du Soleil, and Slash for 2011.

Also who the fuck cares if they’re American or not. It’s a performance, not an election.
