The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their halftime performer for the AFC divisional round game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Atlanta-based rapper Lil Jon is set to get GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium crunk at halftime. He is perhaps best known for his 2013 6-time multi-platinum hit “Turn Down For What” produced by DJ Snake.
The team shared a teaser on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon announcing the performance. Check it out:

This is actually the second career playoff game that Kansas City has participated in that Lil Jon has performed at. He was the halftime performer back in the 2015-16 playoffs, performing at NRG Stadium in Houston during the team’s 30-0 win over the Texans. That game marked the Chiefs’ first playoff win since 1993. Perhaps that makes Lil Jon’s presence at this game against an AFC South opponent a good omen.
