\[Dispatch=Lee Myung-joo\] Hip-hop icon Jay-Z will take the stage at next year's Super Bowl halftime show.
The NFL announced on the 27th (Korea time) that "Jay-Z will appear as a headliner at the Super Bowl halftime show scheduled to take place on February 14 next year."
It has been about 7 years since Jay-Z signed a partnership deal with the NFL. Through his company Roc Nation, he has been providing consultation related to the Super Bowl halftime show.
This decision came shortly after Jay-Z successfully completed his 30th debut anniversary world tour. He recently held the finale concert at SoFi Stadium.
Jay-Z said in a statement, "It has been a really long journey from my first album 'Reasonable Doubt' to the Super Bowl halftime show stage. It feels like my dream has come true."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also said, "I'm so pleased to think that fans around the world will experience Jay-Z's cultural influence at the Super Bowl performance."
Jay-Z is a heavyweight in the hip-hop industry. He holds the record for the most Grammy nominations in history after his wife Beyoncé. He has received a total of 25 Grammy trophies.
His representative works include his debut album 'Reasonable Doubt,' as well as 'The Blueprint' and 'The Black Album.' He recently released the single 'I Just Wanna Love You.'
Meanwhile, the Super Bowl halftime show is a dream stage for artists around the world. Bad Bunny, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem have performed.
