Jay-Z Books Jay-Z For Super Bowl Halftime

• The man who has helped produce the Super Bowl halftime show under his Roc Nation umbrella is now stepping onto the Main Stage: Jay-Z will headline the show himself, as NPR reports.

The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Monday night that Jay-Z will be the featured performer for the halftime festivities on Feb. 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he had one request when the league first reached an agreement with Roc Nation: that Jay-Z take the stage himself “whenever the moment felt right to him.”

“From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey,” Jay-Z said in a statement. “Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world’s biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true.”

In response to this big news ABC posted this note to Instagram: “We got 99 problems, but the halftime show ain’t one.”
