NFL fans have vented their frustration with NBC after the network opted to skip the halftime performance from Lil Jon at the Bengals-Ravens game.
The rapper, 54, took center stage during the interval at the M&T Bank Stadium on Thanksgiving, much to the delight of those in attendance on the night.
However, those watching at home were left incensed with NBC’s decision to show just 10 seconds of the performance during their broadcast.
NBC opted to show just a snippet of Lil Jon’s 2013 hit ‘Turn Down For What’, which he performed on the night, before cutting away from the show shortly after.
It didn’t take long for fans to voice their fury with the network.
Taking to X, one fan wrote: ‘So why did everyone get their halftime performance played on national tv but Lil Jon didn’t?’

Another said: ‘NBC the whole broadcast: “Stay tuned for Lil Jon at halftime!” NBC at halftime: 15 seconds of “Turn Down for What”… Why even mention it at that point??’
‘NBC NOT SHOWING LIL JON IS A DANG CRIME!!!,’ another frustrated fan said.
‘Wait, why we couldn’t see the Lil’ Jon halftime show? They showed the other halftime shows [crying emojis], one disheartened viewer wrote.
Another said: ‘That 10 seconds of Lil Jon was better than the entirety of Post Malone’s performance’.
The decision to skip Lil Jon’s set comes shortly after the likes of Post Malone and Jack White – joined by Eminem – took center stage earlier on Thanksgiving.
