Kanye West’s got a theory: the NFL’s keeping him off the Super Bowl halftime stage, and he’s pinning it on three infamous moments. In an April 7, 2025 X post, Ye broke it down—and he’s still eyeing a 2026 comeback. Here’s his rant, decoded.
The “Blocked” List
Ye tweeted, “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of 3 moments.” First up: his 2005 telethon zinger, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people,” slamming Katrina relief. Second: the 2009 MTV VMAs, where he hijacked Taylor Swift’s speech for Beyoncé’s sake—“one of the best videos of all time!” Third: his 2018 MAGA hat flex, cozying up to Trump and catching heat. “How it feel to be the best living and blocked… ahead of my time,” he mused, adding, “(And I mean all of this before I went full Nazi of course.)”
Super Bowl Dreams vs. Reality
Ye’s claimed he’ll headline the 2026 Super Bowl—no NFL nod yet, though. This comes after his antisemitic rants, Hitler praise, and hate-symbol merch tanked his rep. He still aired a 15-second Yeezy ad during the 2025 game, only to swap the site’s gear for a swastika tee later. His WW3 album’s tracklist? Already catching flak for offensive vibes.
Still Kicking
Love him or hate him, Ye’s not fading. From Bush to Taylor to Trump, those moments shaped his wild ride—and he’s betting they’re why the NFL’s gatekeeping. Will 2026 flip the script? Time’s ticking.
