The Black Eyed Peas' halftime set at the 2011 Super Bowl Sunday night (February 6) likely delighted the hitmakers' legions of fans, but it appears the performance has also won over a onetime will.i.am enemy: Perez Hilton.
Following the platinum-selling crew's hit-packed medley - which included a massive team of dancers working it in illuminated jumpsuits and surprise appearances from Usher and Guns N' Roses' Slash - Hilton took to Twitter to opine about the performance and had nothing but love for the Peas' set, despite his history with the group's frontman.
"Pigs are about to fly...... I think that was the best Half Time Show in years!" Hilton wrote. Although he did point out the group's glitches, he added that the performance was miles ahead of previous halftime sets. "So the Peas did not sound amazing, but they were very entertaining! Much better than The Who last year or Tom Petty before!"
Will graciously accepted the compliment, replying, "thanks perez...it means a lot from you..." Perez returned the Twitter love, writing, "I mean it. Great job! You could tell you guys worked very hard on it."
The media personality and MC famously feuded in 2009 when Hilton accused will of assaulting him after an awards show, a claim which the producer/rapper vehemently denied. The drama played out in outlets from Twitter to TMZ, and eventually lawyers were dragged into the fray. However, Sunday night's explosive set apparently prompted Hilton to set aside the past and send out some snaps.
Hilton wasn't the only one who enjoyed the performance. Will proudly tweeted that one of his fellow California hip-pop stars, MC Hammer, was also feeling the set.
"Mc hammer loved our halftime show," he tweeted. "Wow" I'm so happy."
