Bruno Mars on next year's Super Bowl: Celebrate Atlanta hip-hop

The several-time Grammy Award winner said he hopes to see artists like Outkast, T.I. and Gucci Mane hit the stage at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the 2019 Super Bowl half-time show.

Bruno Mars has had his share of Super Bowl performances. But rather than push for an appearance at next year's big game in Atlanta, he's advocating for Atlanta's hip-hop community to take the limelight.

With the 2018 Super Bowl having just ended, Bruno Mars took to Twitter with a list of Atlanta artists he wants to see take the stage for Atlanta's first turn at the big event since 2000.

".@NFL you have the opportunity to celebrate incredible Hip Hop Artist from Atlanta Next year," he wrote. ".@NFL Outkast. T.I Gucci, lil jon, Jeezy, Jermaine Dupri just to name a few. it would be the best party Tv has ever see!"

That's some major praise from a music artist who just weeks before swept the Grammys taking home Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best R&B Song, Best R&B Album, and Best R&B Performance.

He even joking said he would curate the show for the low price of $1 billion.

"@NFL all jokes aside please lets make that happen," he said.
