After Mary J. Blige's iconic performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, some haters chimed in on Twitter describing her performance as "raunchy." However, the R&B superstar doesn't have time for haters, and she dismissed their comments entirely.

"That’s a small conversation compared to how huge that is. Like, Hip Hop is here. It’s more than just a small thing," said Blige per HotNewHipHop. "It’s just as big as rock and roll right now. I don’t pay attention to all of that... Someone looked at us...well, somebody looked at Dre and said, ‘We need you,' and Dre looked at me and said, ‘I want you,' and so on and so forth with all his friends. So, I really don’t care about it.”

Mary J. Blige was joined by hip-hop icons Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and surprise guest 50 Cent for the first all hip-hop performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show.
