The burning question on everyone's mind is whether or not Jay-Z will ever grace the stage as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show. Entertainment Tonight recently caught up with the man responsible for booking talent for the iconic event, and it seems that the possibility is not completely off the table. According to the interview, Jay-Z has not taken the lead at the widely-watched event yet, but he certainly hasn't ruled it out for the future.
In a groundbreaking deal with the NFL, Jay-Z's Roc Nation is now solely in charge of securing top-notch talent for the highly-anticipated halftime performance. In recent years, viewers have been treated to unforgettable shows by incredible artists such as Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, The Weeknd, and a star-studded hip-hop extravaganza led by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Anderson.Paak.
But the real shocker came in 2023 when a very pregnant Rihanna took to the stage and wowed the world with her incredible performance. This year, fans can look forward to another epic show as the one and only Usher Raymond takes center stage at the 50-yard line. At the premiere of the film "The Book of Clarence," Jay-Z spoke to Entertainment Tonight about Usher's upcoming performance and his own involvement in the event.
"I think he's going to take his rightful place," the legendary rapper shared when asked about Usher's upcoming show. "He's one of the greatest performers we've seen in our time, and I think he'll take his rightful place." But amidst all the excitement and anticipation, the question still remains - will Jay-Z himself ever step onto that coveted football field on a Sunday in February?
The media outlet did not shy away from asking the million-dollar question, to which Jay-Z responded with a sly smile, "I don't know. I thought it would be selfish to pick myself too early." However, when pressed further, the rapper did reveal that there is a possibility he may grace the stage one year. "Maybe one year," he replied with a hint of mystery.
Fans of Jay-Z and hip-hop enthusiasts alike can only hope that one day, Shawn Corey Carter will take his rightful place on the Super Bowl halftime stage. Until then, we can all look forward to yet another incredible show this year, and perhaps keep our fingers crossed for a surprise appearance by the rap icon.
