The NFL Fed Up with Jay Z?


Last month it was announced that Spanish language singer Bad Bunny has been chosen by Jay Z to perform at the Super Bowl LX halftime show, one year after the polarizing performance by Kendick Lamar [click here if you missed that].

Is the NFL growing tired of Jay Z and his controversial picks...?

Sure sounds like it.

From Janet Charleton
The NFL has a problem, and that problem is Jay-Z. The football league signed an 8-year contract with Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation to produce the Super Bowl halftime show. Kendrick Lamar had the honors last year, and the powers that be at the NFL weren’t exactly thrilled with his performance. It was interpreted by some to imply that league members were slave owners and the players were the slaves. This year they were hoping to land someone less controversial, (like we reported –Taylor Swift) but when a deal couldn’t be struck, Jay-Z went with Bad Bunny – and therein lies the problem. The league isn’t thrilled about an all in Spanish performance, but their contract with Jay-Z gives him full control. Behind very closed doors they’re looking for an escape clause since they regret handing over so much power to Jay-Z without the ability to veto any performers.

Haha, you’d think these owners would only care about the numbers that will show up to watch globally but ultimately, they may value yt-ness more than the green. Hmmmm

I'm Certain The NFL Has Full Control. Bad Bunny Will B On A Leash Like Kendrick. He'll Have 2 B Clever Like LL Cool J's "ForUsByUs On The Low". It's Not Impossible.

Tired or not, the NFL can forget about getting out of this contract. If they could have gotten out, they would have done so after Kendrick’s performance. You know Trump was furious and sneering because he was forced to leave the game before the performance. We know cuz that's his reaction whenever he doesn’t get his way.

Jay knows what he’s doing and he’s not going anywhere until the contract is up or unless they pay him in full.

How y’all think Bunny gon’ appear? I think he’ll helicopter in and out before ICE can get him. I wonder who else Jay will bring in. Should be fun.

I don't believe this. They are running out of a-list musicians. The NFL loved KL ratings and attention. Bad Bunny ratings will be thru the roof.
