Who is Warren Snipe?

Warren Snipe, also known by his stage name WaWa, is a deaf writer, rapper, and performer.

Born in 1971, the musician labels his music as “Dip-Hop”, which means “hip hop through deaf eyes”.

As well as working with The National Deaf Dance Company, Snipe was also a founding member of the Wild Zappers, an all-male deaf dance company.

The Super Bowl 2022 halftime show is set to bring Tupac Shakur back to life in the form of a hologram.

Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas in 1996 – with the identity of his drive-by shooter remaining a mystery over 25 years later.

But plans have been made to allow the late rapper to perform alongside hip hop legends Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg as a 3D image on stage.

The secret segment could see the trio sing hit California Love, originally recorded by Tupac and Dre in 1995.

Tupac’s resurrection in virtual form was previously seen at the Coachella Music Festival in 2012, when Dre and Snoop were the twin headliners of the three-day event.

It was created by Janelle Croshaw, visual effects supervisor of Academy Award-winning studio Digital Domain, and her team in just six weeks especially for the show.

Since Tupac came back to life on stage, many other artists have appeared posthumous.

In 2020, songstress Whitney Houston appeared as a hologram in a sold out UK tour.

The likes of Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison have also been brought back from the dead for special concerts.

Previously, Dr Dre said that the Tupac hologram was only for Coachella.

“It was strictly for Coachella. Get it right,” Dre revealed to Rolling Stone magazine.

“I want to get rid of all the rumours out there. This was not done for a tour. If a tour happens, we’ll see.”

WHO IS ON THE SUPER BOWL HALF TIME SHOW?

Singer Mary J. Blige – who performed in the 2001 Super Bowl alongside Aerosmith, Britney Spears, *NSYNC, and Nelly, is back. But this time she’ll be joined by some of the greatest rappers of all time, with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar joining her on the stage.
