"After that, he'll go on a 10-minute rant": Fans poke fun at Kanye for claiming he will perform at 2026 Super Bowl halftime show

Once again, Kanye West, now known as Ye, has set off the internet with his claim that he will be headlining at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance. Following the very ambitious revelation, social media went wild.

One person sarcastically commented,

"After that, he'll go on a 10-minute rant 🤣 😂," alluding to the rapper's well-known tendency to stray from the script.

Although Kanye has undoubtedly created an iconic music career, fans quickly pointed out that his previous scandals and unpredictable social media behavior may prevent him from standing in the way of his ambition of his little Super Bowl dream. Even if the big game is still a long way off, there is already speculation regarding whether Ye's vision is grounded in reality or just another one of his well-known rants.

Fans roast Kanye’s Super Bowl 2026 halftime show claims with memes and skepticism

Memes poured in as Twitter users, predictably, couldn't contain themselves. While others used the occasion to make light of Kanye's unpredictable nature, many questioned if the authorities would permit him to even appear on the halftime stage.

One user tweeted,

"There is not a single person in this world that would let Kanye stand in the middle of the stadium with a mic 😂," pointing out the potential chaos that could ensue.

Meanwhile, another user chimed in with a meme-worthy comment about Jay Z’s reaction to the claim.

"Jay hearing this like..." paired with a GIF of Jay Z shaking his head in disapproval.

The skepticism didn’t stop there.

“Never lol 😂,” another user wrote, attaching a GIF of a man shaking his head.

Some speculated that Kanye’s ego and ambition might be the driving force behind the claim. One tweet humorously remarked,

"That jealousy hitting hard," while another noted,

“Not after his tweets today lmao,” referencing some of Kanye's more recent controversial posts.

The general sentiment online was that Kanye’s polarizing public persona might keep him off that stage for good.

“He’s a liability. This particular Gemini is never hitting that stage 😭😭😭,” read another tweet, which seemed to capture the widespread doubt about Kanye’s Super Bowl dream.

Some fans, however, couldn’t resist comparing him to another super-popular rapper/musician.

"Kanye and Lil Wayne the same ppl atp," one user joked, linking the two hip-hop icons' unpredictable personalities.

Kanye’s claim, Super Bowl predictions, and his unpredictable public image

Kanye's claim to be the star of the 2026 Super Bowl was not on most of our 2026 bingo cards! Though there is already a lot of speculation (wild!) around possible halftime performers for the 2026 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California, Kanye's name has not been considered as a major possibility. Nevertheless, Ye has always been renowned for his extravagant aspirations and irrational self-confidence.

Kanye's antics in recent years, from his presidential attempt to his controversial social media rants, have caused many to doubt the once-untouchable reputation he established via his music. The public's doubts regarding his ability to land such a significant performance slot have only grown as a result of his dispute with social media companies (read: X) and his unpredictable online conduct.

Fans are busy speculating about the Super Bowl of 2026, although there have been no official announcements regarding any of the performances (yet). Some are interested in the future direction of Kanye's music and career, while others are just passively amused by Ye's chronically online chaos. Regardless of whether Ye performs, his remarks have already sparked a wave of chatter on X, keeping him, as always, at the center of the conversation.
