FIFA Considers Inviting Drake for 2026 World Cup Halftime Show to Spark Rivalry with Kendrick Lamar

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has expressed interest in having global superstar Drake perform at the halftime show of the 2026 World Cup, potentially using the high-profile feud between the rapper and Kendrick Lamar to their advantage.

In a recent interview with Good Day New York host Rosanna Scotto, Infantino was enthusiastic about the idea of incorporating a musical performance similar to the Super Bowl halftime shows. Scotto, known for her bold suggestions, pitched the idea of inviting Drake to perform at the World Cup, specifically to reignite his rivalry with Lamar, which has recently been the talk of the music world.

Scotto explained, “I have a great idea for you for the halftime – Drake. Because you were at the Super Bowl—Kendrick Lamar dissed him at the Super Bowl. Drake comes back for a bit of a rivalry.”

Infantino was quick to respond positively, acknowledging the potential of the idea. He even revealed that he has a connection with Drake, recalling that the rapper had attended the announcement of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup. “That’s a good idea,” Infantino said, laughing. “Actually, Drake was with us when we announced the host cities. I should have his number saved somewhere.”

The playful exchange continued as Scotto joked, “I expect to be sitting right next to you when you sign him on the dotted line,” to which Infantino responded, “We will do that.”

This interaction has fueled speculation that FIFA is not only open to the idea but may be willing to capitalize on the public feud between Drake and Lamar, much like the Super Bowl did earlier this year. While Kendrick Lamar has been enjoying a strong run with hits like ‘Meet the Grahams’ and ‘Not Like Us’ in 2024, along with standout performances at the Grammys and the Super Bowl, the 2026 World Cup could provide the perfect stage for Drake to fire back at his rival.

With both artists at the height of their careers and their rivalry dominating headlines, the 2026 World Cup halftime show could turn into an unforgettable moment for both sports and music fans alike, blending world-class soccer with an epic battle of musical titans.
