NFL names Jay-Z Super Bowl half-time show headliner
The NFL has named Jay-Z the headliner for this season's Super Bowl half-time show, which Roc Nation produces under a 2019 deal.
The NFL has named Jay-Z as the headliner for this season's Super Bowl half-time show. Roc Nation produces the show under a 2019 deal reportedly worth $5m a year. Roc Nation signed its deal with the NFL a few months after Forbes named Jay-Z hip-hop's first billionaire in June 2019.
Forbes puts Jay-Z's fortune at about $2.8bn. Jay-Z released the album Reasonable Doubt in 1996 on his own label, Roc-A-Fella. In 2013 he performed the track Picasso Baby for six hours straight at a Chelsea gallery.
Jay-Z linked up with Target this summer, a chain that had been boycotted by many Black customers.
