Jay-Z has revealed his reasoning for turning down the opportunity to perform at a past Super Bowl halftime show.
The “Hard Knock Life” rapper, 50, recently told The New York Times that he turned down the offer because they asked that his show include appearances by Kanye West and Rihanna.
“Of course I would have [performed with them],” said Jay-Z, “but I said, ‘No, you get me.’ That is not how you go about it, telling someone that they’re going to do the halftime show contingent on who they bring. I said forget it. It was a principle thing.”
Jay-Z also took notice when pop band Maroon 5 was booked to perform the 2019 halftime show in Atlanta, Georgia, a hub for hip-hop music.
