Bruno Mars may not be stopping in Atlanta for the final leg of his 24K Magic Tour with Cardi B, but he's got big dreams for the city come next February when it hosts Super Bowl LIII. Earlier this afternoon, the Grammy-embellished Mars (who performed at the Super Bowl in 2014 and 2016) tweeted at the NFL, proposing a hip-hop halftime show in 2019 and offering a dream roster of Atlanta icons: Outkast, T.I., Gucci Mane, Lil Jon, Jeezy, and Jermaine Dupry.
