Jay-Z Reportedly Helping Rihanna With Halftime Show Performance

Author Autumn Hawkins
January 17th 1:28 PM

We are less than one month away from Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show performance. To ensure the show goes on without a hitch, the Anti singer is reportedly getting some help from Jay-Z and Roc Nation in the process, according to Capitalfm.com. 

Although it hasn’t been confirmed by Jay, Roc Nation, or the Super Bowl headliner herself, it all seemingly makes sense. Jay-Z is the live music entertainment strategist for the NFL, and one of his duties is to “advise on the selection of artists for major NFL performances like the Super Bowl.” It makes sense that Jay would go the extra mile to help RiRi since he also was the president of Roc Nation back in 2004 when Rihanna was signed to the label.

Rihanna teased her Super Bowl performance last week on social media. In the 30-second clip, RiRi appears as a silhouette as voices are heard saying, “Dude, Rihanna, we’ve waited for you.” Another added, “It’s been six years since the nine-time Grammy-winner dropped an album.”

The singer later emerges from the shadow and is seen wearing a green furry coat, a black outfit underneath accessorizing with chunky silver jewelry.

Rihanna made the Super Bowl announcement back in September when she posted herself holding an NFL-branded football. The superstar captioned the photo with a simple period, “.”

“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment,” Jay-Z, who previously signed a deal with the NFL to head the league’s musical entertainment, said in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The Super Bowl LVII Halftime performance will take place on Feb. 12 at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime Show: Who Should She Bring?

  • Drake

    Share

    Summer 2016 does not exist without Drake and Rihanna. The pair made magic together on "Work" and we believe that they could do it once again at the Super Bowl. The two also could perform "Take Care," "What's My Name?," and "Too Good." RiRi you better call up Drizzy!

  • Kanye

    Share

    Although Kanye loves canceling last minute (i.e. Coachella, Rolling Loud Miami), we have to admit that he would be a great performer alongside Rihanna. The two have created several hits together including "All Of The Lights," "FourFiveSeconds" with Paul McCartney,  "Run This Town," with Jay-Z, and "Famous."

  • Jay-Z

    Share

    What better way to acknowledge the man who started your career? Jay-Z signed Rihanna back in 2005 when she was just 16 years old. The hip-hop icon was the president of Def Jam at the time. As for song suggestions for the two, they could perform "Run This Town" with Ye, "Talk That Talk" and of course "Umbrella."

  • Kendrick Lamar

    Share

    Kung Fu Kenny just performed at last year's Super Bowl alongside Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and 50 Cent but who's to say he can't once again? Kendrick and Rihanna can perform their Grammy-winning "LOYALTY." off of the rapper's 2017 project 'DAMN.'

  • A$AP Rocky

    Share

    RiRi and A$AP Rocky might need to get a babysitter but it'll be worth it to see the two perform together. The pair does not have any songs featuring one another but they have performed "Cockiness (Love It)" together back in 2012 for the MTV Music Awards. This would also be an opportunity for Rocky to perform "Fashion Killa" and "D.M.B." where both music videos feature RiRi.

  • Eminem

    Share

    Just like Kendrick, Eminem also performed at last year's Super Bowl Halftime Show but rapping alongside Rihanna would be something that fans would love to see. Eminem and RiRi could perform "Love The Way You Lie," and "The Monster."

  • Calvin Harris

    Share

    Calvin Harris and Rihanna are an impressive duo having had several hits together in their career. Harris and RiRi could perform "We Found Love," and "This Is What You Came For."
