Super Bowl LXI: Jay-Z Reportedly Taps Himself for Halftime Show

Speculation is mounting that Jay-Z might headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show, with reports suggesting he selected himself for the prestigious gig. This potential booking would mark a significant milestone, as it would be the rapper's first time performing on the Super Bowl stage in his four-decade career.

The unconfirmed report, which also noted Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus as potential performers, has already sparked widespread discussion and commentary. Even late-night host Jimmy Fallon humorously addressed the news, poking fun at the idea of Jay-Z choosing himself. This potential Super Bowl appearance follows a resurgence in Jay-Z's public profile this year, marked by notable performances and a documentary series.

Should this report prove true, Jay-Z would be the first rapper to headline the halftime show since Kendrick Lamar in 2025. The NFL and Roc Nation have not yet issued official comments regarding the booking.
