Here’s How Fans Are Reacting to Rumors of Jay-Z Headlining Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show: ‘He Just Pulled a Dick Cheney’
Hov returns to the stage on Oct. 23 at SoFi Stadium, where the Super Bowl will also be played in February.
Fans are reacting strongly to rumors that Jay-Z may headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show. The report, published by Puck on October 20, claims Jay-Z will recommend himself for the role. The NFL's live music entertainment strategist since 2019, Jay-Z has the opportunity to curate and produce the halftime show. If true, it would be Jay-Z's first appearance at the Super Bowl stage in his career.
Other artists, such as Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, were also in contention for the slot. Social media users expressed skepticism about Jay-Z's popularity, with one user referencing Dick Cheney's controversial 2000 decision to choose himself as Dick Cheney's running mate. Some fans are excited about the possibility of Jay-Z performing, but there are concerns about his fan base and the relevance of his music in today's climate.
