“This Jay-Z, um, doing the Super Bowl thing,” he began. “I hear people talking about ‘Can Jay-Z do it?’ They don’t think Jay-Z can do it, who he bringin’ out? But ya’ll ain’t think about this. If you take away all the options — take away Atlanta, take away Kanye, Chicago — and you only have artists from New York… What artist from New York — besides Jay-Z — do you see headlining the Super Bowl?”

Jay-Z Chose Himself To Headline 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show
The Shade Room reported Jay-Z was announced as the 2027 Super Bowl halftime Show performer on Monday, October 26. The announcement was made during Monday Night Football in a clip featuring the rapper seated in an empty stadium. It’s set to his track, ‘Public Service Announcement,’ and text over the clip reads “GOAT’S OUT OF THE BAG.” It was also shared on Instagram with the caption: “Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show.”
The Roc Nation founder was criticized for choosing himself as the halftime-show performer. Jay-Z partnered with the NFL back in 2019, and he chooses the halftime show artists. Former business partner Dame Dash went IN on Jay-Z after the announcement.
“Every time he does a show, he — besides me, he gets bombed on,” he said on The Art Of Dialogue. “Like, there’s a lot of criticism. So. I’m like, why would you want to be the most public when people are scrutinizing you the most? I don’t see the play… And it’s like either someone’s lining them up… if you do a show like the Super Bowl and it’s terrible, it ruins your whole career, and it’s like we all know he’s going to bring out Beyoncé, but like you can’t bring, I’m not going. Don’t even call me for the Super Bowl. I’m not going. I don’t have any desire for that.”
The 2027 Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 14, 2027, in Inglewood, California.
