Travis Scott is reportedly set to join Maroon 5's Super Bowl halftime show.
The 26-year-old rapper will perform with the band during Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, Georgia, TMZ reported on Thursday.
A source confirmed to People that Scott had secured a guest spot for the performance. Representatives for Scott and his management declined to confirm the report to Variety, but a source "close to the situation" told the publication talks had taken place between Scott and the group.
The Independent has reached out to representatives for Scott and the NFLfor more information.
Both Maroon 5 and Scott are affiliated with the management company Full Stop Management, Variety noted.
It was previously reported that Maroon 5 were struggling to find guests to join them during the performance, which is typically watched by more than 100 million people.
The group reached out to more than half a dozen acts asking them to perform during the 13-minute halftime show, to no avail, Variety reported earlier this month.
Cardi B was named as one of the stars considering the gig at the time.
The NFL's treatment of Colin Kaepernick& – who is currently a free agent and famously knelt when the National Anthem was played before games to protest police violence and the oppression of people of colour – is believed to have fuelled a general reluctance to be associated with the Super Bowl.
The league has also been criticised over the past months for its handling of accusations of domestic violence made against its players.
Variety first reported in September that Maroon 5 would play the Super Bowl halftime show, citing multiple sources. The NFL has yet to officially name the band as the next Super Bowl act.
