Rapper and entertainment mogul Jay-Z has been announced by the NFL to perform as the headline act for the Super Bowl LXI halftime show, scheduled to take place this coming February in Los Angeles.
While Jay-Z's Roc Nation company has produced the high-profile halftime show and selected its star-packed performers annually since 2020, this upcoming event marks the first time the hip-hop mogul has chosen himself to take the stage as the primary performer.
