— After deadly fires devastated much of Los Angeles, organizers of the 2028 Games told the International Olympic Committee on Thursday how the city will rebuild with their help.
Count on Kendrick Lamar, too, to be part of «the greatest show on earth» in three years.
«The rebirth, the rebuild, maybe reimagining L.A. 2.0 — and the Olympics as a catalyst for all those things — we think is really part of our ethos», organizing committee chairman Casey Wasserman told The Associated Press.
«You can’t have a natural disaster at that scale in a city as big and as important as Los Angeles and not have it be part of your core philosophy going forward», he added before giving sports leaders an update at the IOC’s annual meeting.
Lamar would be a globally popular part of the opening ceremony on July 14, 2028, after his stunning halftime show at the Super Bowl last month.
«Fortunately in my day job I represent Kendrick Lamar», said Wasserman, who heads an international talent and promotions agency. «He is truly an L.A. icon, so I think it would be a pretty fair bet that Kendrick will be involved in the Olympics in Los Angeles in some way.
