AceShowbiz - Bridget Kelly has enraged people with his comments on Eminem's involvement in the Super Bowl Halftime Show which will take place in 2022. In a new episode of her "See, The Thing Is" podcast, Kelly slammed the rapper who is set to join Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg at the highly-anticipated show.
"I love the idea of so much beautiful black talent on this stage," Kelly said in the episode. "This is the biggest stage in the country. This is the most-watched event."
When her co-host reminded Kelly that Em was also among in the lineup, the "Special Delivery" singer responded, "Either way, I would love to see it because it's also, when are we ever gonna see Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar onstage together? I could do without Eminem. I don't really care whether he's there or not."
Not stopping there, Kelly continued to talk against the "Venom" hitmaker. "You know what I do love about Eminem being the token white guy on this? Usually, it's the other way around," she stressed. "Usually, it's a whole f**kin' lineup of white talent and then it's like, let's just throw a person of color in there so people don't get upset. Let's get all this top-tier black talent and let's throw somebody white on the bill just so we don't piss anybody off."
Unsurprisingly, Kelly's comments ruffled a few feathers and it didn't take long before Eminem fans flooded her mentions on Twitter. Firing back at the critics, she wrote on the blue bird app, "You bum a** bottom feeders need to get tf out my mentions defending Eminem," she tweeted. "Nobody said he wasn't a legend. They've never had an all black halftime show, so yes, he is the token in this case. Go argue w/your mother about his impact, that was never up for debate. Losers [crying laughing emojis]."
In a separate tweet, Kelly added, "I would go back & forth on [Beyonce Knowles]' internet with grown people who use the avi's from their BBM profile. the block button is my BFF, so have at it."
