JAY-Z lit up Paris with Beyoncé this previous weekend in a efficiency that folk are calling nothing wanting legendary. That is perhaps the opposite manner round, however you get what I’m saying. The Carters gave the Metropolis of Mild a second to recollect. I want I used to be there. I’d’ve gladly stood within the rain sporting a Roc Nation hat in “formation” to witness that. In fact, there’s extra brewing beneath the floor.
Now, let’s stroll across the block for a minute.
Nicki Minaj, who has been very vocal these days, just lately threw some verbal jabs in Jigga’s path. Based on her, JAY-Z and Roc Nation weren’t precisely essentially the most supportive of her profession. In reality, she’s claimed they tried to “put a kibosh” on it altogether. That’s not a bit of accusation. That’s a giant one. Add that to her earlier gripes concerning the Tremendous Bowl lineup not that includes Younger Cash, and this rumor I’m about to inform you will get WAY MORE fascinating.
Phrase on the curb is that JAY-Z is perhaps the frontrunner to headline the following Tremendous Bowl Halftime Present.
Now that can be what I wish to name Apex Petty.
Let’s break this down.
Earlier this 12 months, Lil Wayne expressed his disappointment that he wasn’t tapped to rock the halftime present. As a substitute, the NFL rolled with Kendrick Lamar—and that was the appropriate selection. Nicki chimed in and mentioned, basically, throw the entire halftime workforce away and run Younger Cash. So if JAY-Z, who has a complete hand in curating these performances by Roc Nation’s NFL deal, chooses to step into the highlight himself? Woo-Hoo! That’s a chess transfer.
It could be an influence play on a number of ranges.
First, it fires again on the criticisms with out saying a phrase. Second, it doubtlessly opens the door for JAY-Z to re-enter the musical area with the kind of rollout solely he may orchestrate. You already know Hov doesn’t launch an album until he’s going straight to No. 1. And let’s not neglect, he’s been comparatively quiet on the music entrance, letting Beyoncé prepare dinner as an alternative. I believe they’re slowly constructing out their household empire. However a Tremendous Bowl efficiency? That’s the way you make noise and proceed legacy on the identical time.
Plus, if Queen Bey hops on for a fast “Loopy in Love” second—GAME OVER. God forbid they do a brand new music. Now, that is only a rumor, however one thing tells me there’s some smoke right here.
