Now that JAY-Z has been accused of child rape, folks like 50 Cent are wondering if the NFL will continue to let Hov produce the Super Bowl halftime show.
According to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the answer is yes.
“We’re aware of the civil allegations and Jay-Z’s really strong response to that. We know the litigation is happening now. From our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl,” Goodell said at the league’s winter meetings. “I think [Roc Nation is] getting incredibly comfortable with not just with the Super Bowl but other events they’ve advised us on and helped us with. They’ve been a big help in the social justice area to us on many occasions. They’ve been great partners.”
For this year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, Hov selected Kendrick Lamar for the halftime show, angering hometown boy Lil Wayne.
