Super Bowl Halftime Performer Has Been Revealed

Jay-Z did not have to look too long and hard for the performer for this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance, as the 25-time Grammy Award winner has reportedly selected himself to take the stage at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., just outside of Los Angeles.

According to Puck News, Jay-Z has given the nod to himself over Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, who were reportedly considered to be finalists to get the gig for the halftime show for Super Bowl LXI. TMZ previously reported that Harry Styles was also among frontrunners for February’s halftime performance.

Jay-Z and his entertainment company, Roc Nation, have been the producers and decision-makers of the Super Bowl halftime show since 2019.

The 56-year-old rap icon will wrap up his four-city tour with back-to-back shows at SoFi Stadium on Oct. 23 and 24. The Jay-Z 30 Tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of his 1996 debut album, ‘Reasonable Doubt,’ and it has been wildly successful, with Puck reporting that he grossed more than $42 million across three consecutive nights of shows held at Yankee Stadium in July.

Jay-Z would rather book himself for the Super Bowl than book a white artist like Carrie Underwood or Morgan Wallen.

This is the very definition of racism. https://t.co/PFaS8jXqHT
