YOLO: Jay Z picks himself for Super Bowl half-time show.

Jay-Z has picked himself as next year’s Super Bowl half-time act.

The rapper’s company, Roc Nation, has partnered with the NFL since 2019 to advise on and produce the half-time show.

“From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl half-time stage, this has been a journey,” said the 56-year-old rapper in response to the announcement. “Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world’s biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true.”

The show, one of the biggest events in the music calendar, will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Feb 14.

Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, said he had wanted Jay-Z to perform since they first partnered seven years ago.

“When we first reached an agreement with Roc Nation to produce the show, I had just one request: that Jay-Z take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him,” Goodell said. “I couldn’t be more excited for fans around the world to experience the artistry, creativity and cultural impact he will bring to the Super Bowl stage.”

I doubt it’s his kind of music, but the ghost of Dick Cheney smiles at Jay-Z’s chutzpah: As Bush’s VP Vetter In 2000, Cheney ‘Sidestepped The Scrutiny He Imposed On Others.’
