Chris Brown's fans have created a petition to have the singer perform at the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show.
Launched on Change.Org, the petition has so far gained more than 3,700 signatures out of its goal of 5,000, reported Ace Showbiz.
The petition read, "Chris Brown is One of the Most Talented Entertainers in this Generation. Since Chris Brown Came out he has been compared to many legendary artist, if you remember Chris Brown Michael Jackson Tribute on The BET awards you will see the ambition he has to make a Great Halftime Show.
"People even called Chris Brown a Legendary Artist. I believe Chris will be a legend and that's why he need to make history on the Superbowl!"
Brown, 27, responded to the petition in a video saying if they let him perform at the Super Bowl, he will do a good job.
The petition comes after the NFL and Pepsi denied offering Adele to perform at the 51st Super Bowl halftime show.
They released a statement in response to the "Hello" hitmaker's claim that she turned down the offer because she couldn't dance.
"The NFL and Pepsi are big fans of Adele. We have had conversations with several artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else.
"We are focused on putting together a fantastic show for Houston and we look forward to revealing that in good time," read the statement.
