Kanye West's fans have set up a petition for the rapper to perform at the Super Bowl.

The 38-year-old "All Day" rapper's supporters have set up an online petition at Change.Org for "one of the best performers of all time" to provide the half-time entertainment at the prestigious NFL game after Adele claimed to have turned down the gig, reported Female First.

So far, they have attracted less than 1,500 signatures.

"You can say what you want about Kanye West but. One thing you can't say is that he's not one of the best performers of ALL TIME! Adele said she doesn't want to do this year's super bowl halftime show and who is better for the job than Kanye West?" a description on Change.Org read.
 

"If you don't believe me go on YouTube and watch his past performances. If you pick Kanye for the half time show you can guarantee the performance of a lifetime @NFL! So everyone join me and sign the petition to make Kanye the Super Bowl 51 halftime performer! #KanyeWestForSuperBowl51 @teamkanyedaily (sic)," the petition read.

Adele revealed earlier this week she had snubbed an offer to perform at the Super Bowl because it's "not about music".

The next Super Bowl will be held at Houston's NRG Stadium in Texas on February 5, 2017.
