Hip hop legend Jay Z isn’t interested in performing at the Super Bowl half-time show in 2018.

Even though the Moonlight rapper star has previously seen his wife Beyonce dazzle the world’s biggest annual TV audience at two Super Bowls, Jigga – who has been rumoured for the job – reportedly has no ambitions of following in the footsteps of the mother of his three children.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: ‘Lots of people have been saying Jay will perform with Justin Timberlake, but it is simply not the case.

‘He has enough songs to create an incredible performance but he really has no plans to do the half-time show.’




The likes of Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry have all performed at the world-famous half-time show over recent years – but we guess that doesn’t mean we will get a live performance from the 4:44 album anytime soon.

But organisers of the sporting event are still searching for someone to succeed Lady Gaga, whose performance earlier this year was watched by as many as 117.5 million TV viewers.

Meanwhile, Jay recently revealed he’s no longer interested in feuding with his rap rivals.

In the past, the chart-topping star has had beef with the likes of Kanye West, Nas, Fat Joe and Prodigy of Mobb Deep – who passed away in June – but Jay swears that he is over all of that now.

He explained: ‘It wasn’t even like a big thing between Fat Joe and I, we just really talked about that in two minutes.

‘I don’t want to have rap beef, I’m checked out of that part of the game.’

Jay also paid tribute to Prodigy, who suffered from sickle cell anaemia for much of his life.

He said: ‘I had super respect for Prodigy. In order for me to really have a problem, in order for me to really spar with you, I gotta respect you somewhere.

‘It’s just sad you know, blessings to his family.’

Jay on the Super Bowl stage could’ve been historic.
