Riyadh Season festivities are on, and the organizers of the festival have left no stone unturned when it came to arranging the top-tier talent to perform. So, it was no surprise when we found out that Russell Wilson’s wife and RnB Star Ciara found her way to Saudi to entertain the fans. While millions of people watched her do her thing, Wilson remains to be one of her biggest fanboys to date.

In fact, he thinks Ciara should get a spot in the Super Bowl halftime. He shared some bits and pieces of Ciara’s performance in Saudi Arabia. But it’s not just Russ who thinks Ciara’s electric performance is Super Bowl-worthy. It’s also her fans. But for now, let’s focus on what the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has to say about all this.

The Super Bowl-winning QBs Instagram Stories featured a couple of Ciara videos that had the crowd “buzzing, calling it Super Bowl-worthy! Her energy was unmatched, making it a night to remember for everyone there.” Russell Wilson took to the comment section of Local Riyadh’s IG post and reacted with fire emojis. It looked apt for the moment considering it was Ciara’s Riyadh Season debut.

The next video shows the superstar singer performing her iconic song 1,2 Step. If Missy Elliott had been there, it would have been even more special. But that didn’t matter to Russ, who captioned the re-shared video saying, “Super Bowl performance,” and tagged the NFL in his IG Story. But fanboy Russell didn’t stop there.

Apparently, the fans are going gaga over her performance and Local Riyadh had all the testimonies to share. To some people, the performance was “inspiring” but to others, a singer of Ciara’s caliber could do a whole Super Bowl halftime show without a backup artist. Unfortunately, the “Goodies” singer won’t be gracing people with a Super Bowl performance because it’s Kendrick Lamar who will set the stage on fire in the upcoming Super Bowl.

Wilson’s demand might not stop the NFL from bringing in Kendrick Lamar

Back in 2022, the rapper behind the iconic song “Swimming Pools” took the stage at halftime during Super Bowl LVI. Now he’s set to perform at the Caesars Superdome and the setlist is out. Mona Lisa, All the Stars, Not Like Us, m.A.Ad. city are some of the tracks that you can expect to hear on the day of the Super Bowl next year.

Even Patrick Mahomes shared a picture of him wearing his 3 Super Bowl rings. He captioned it as “BIG ME” at the ring ceremony following the Super Bowl LVIII. K Dot’s influence reaches far and wide. And for the longest time, sports and hip-hop have been like a PB&J sandwich. They just go together perfectly.

Ciara might not be there to perform in the next Super Bowl. But the “Money Trees” singer will surely take the Super Bowl halftime performances to a higher level.
