Rapper and business mogul, Jay-Z is reportedly slated to headline the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show slated for February 2027, in Los Angeles.
After seven years of curating the NFL’s Halftime Show through his company ROC Nation, Jay-Z is said to have chosen himself as the headliner.
The announcement would coincide with the celebration of 30 years since his debut album Reasonable Doubt and 25 years since The Blueprint.
Reports suggest that pop stars Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were also considered for the 2027 slot, reflecting the NFL’s ongoing effort to balance generational appeal and global reach.
If confirmed, Jay-Z’s selection would mark a rare instance of the curator becoming the performer, a move that could be read as both a celebration of his legacy and a statement about hip‑hop’s enduring place, in mainstream American music culture.
Neither the NFL nor ROC Nation has signed off on the news. Jay-Z is expected to formally announce the performance during his sold‑out shows at SoFi Stadium this weekend, according to circulating reports.
