Jay-Z Reportedly Selects Himself for Super Bowl Halftime Show
The music mogul, who oversees Super Bowl halftime talent through Roc Nation, is said to be the top choice for the upcoming Los Angeles performance.
Jay-Z has reportedly chosen himself to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show when the event takes place in Los Angeles in February. The entertainment titan, who has held decision-making power over Super Bowl halftime entertainment since Roc Nation's 2019 agreement with the NFL, is considered a more compelling choice than other artists who were reportedly in contention, such as Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.
Jay-Z has not yet publicly commented on the reports. He has not released a new album since 2017's "4:44," which achieved double-platinum status. The rapper's catalog includes numerous hit songs that have maintained their popularity over time. He recently concluded a successful series of concerts in 2026, including two sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium that reportedly grossed $42 million. In July, his performances at Yankee Stadium brought in $42 million, according to Puck. The 56-year-old artist's career has spanned decades, marked by critical acclaim and commercial success in both music and business ventures.
