The incident occurred on February 9 when New Orleans received the Super Bowl Lix at Caesars Superdome.
The Louisian State Police said that Nantambu allegedly “deviated from his assigned role, recovered a Sudanese flag with the message ‘Sudan and Free Gaza’ and interrupted the part -time show running through the field with the flag.”
“The security and application personnel on the site quickly recognized the unauthorized action and arrested the artist after he refused to fulfill his orders to stop,” said the police.
After the event, an arrest warrant for Nantambu was obtained through the Criminal District Court of the Parish of Orleans, police said.
Nantambu, with his lawyer, gave the police on Thursday under the positions of resisting an officer and altering peace through the interruption of a legal assembly.
