Trust me, America is not ready for a 12 minute Jay Z show in the middle of the Super Bowl.
But Jay Z, who is the half time show curator for the NFL, is apparently hiring himself as the main act next February.
Other acts like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were sent up the flagpole and shot down.
Jay Z did hire U2 for the NFL Thanksgiving game half time show, which is perfect for them. Bono and pals dodge a bullet because the Super Bowl show is always full of disdain. No one ever wins.
But Jay Z for 12 minutes to straight rap? Even Shawn Carter isn’t that full of himself. He’ll have guest stars galore. One of them will have to be his wife, Beyonce. Even if she steps out for one song — likely “Crazy in Love” — ratings will soar.
At his Yankee Stadium shows this summer, Jay Z featured Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Usher, Nas, Rihanna and many others. Expect the same this time, only with 100 times the hype. The 2027 game will be especially heated anyway, taking place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles — expect week’s build up of Hollywood celebrities.
