Hamilton himself featured in Christina Aguilera’s 2018 song ‘Pipe’ under the pseudonym XNDA. While the fans quickly recognized his voice, Lewis confirmed his identity only in 2020.

Is Lewis Hamilton going to perform at Super Bowl?

Lewis recently created a frenzy among fans after the Mercedes F1 team shared a photo that showed that he might perform at the Super Bowl half-time. Pop star Rihanna confirmed her headlining the show through her Twitter post where she was holding a football.
