Just days after Jay-Z dedicated “The Story of OJ” to Colin Kaepernick, amid the long-standing controversy surrounding his unemployment, Metro UK claims that the rapper declined to perform at the 2018 Super Bowl halftime show.
“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,’” ‘an insider’ for The Sun revealed.
It remains unclear if the claims are true. If so, Jay-Z’s refusal to do the halftime show leaves one to believe he is taking a stand against the NFL’s mismanagement of Kaepernick’s employment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the meantime, organizers for the big event are still searching for their next act to succeed Lady Gaga.
