Eminem has reportedly refused to perform at a Super Bowl party unless he was paid his asking price of $2 million.
The rapper is said to have been approached to play a concert at the NFL Owners Party during Super Bowl week in 2014.
According to TMZ, the offer was for Eminem to perform a set of his greatest hits for 1,500 guests following a lavish dinner.
Representatives for the Super Bowl were considering a performance from Kanye West, only to find that his fee was also out of budget.
A source told TMZ: '(For Kanye) it was $1 million, plus a lot of other perks.'
As a last resort, organisers have reportedly clinched a deal with Tight Rope singer Janelle Monae, who will perform for a more reasonable $150,000.
The Super Bowl is the climax to the championship game of the NFL season, and famous for having the world's biggest pop stars perform at the half-time show.
In recent years Madonna, Britney Spears, The Who, Prince and Beyonce have all performed, and Country singer Shania Twain was the first ever star to perform the show.
The match will be held at the MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on February 2, 2014.
