This is big for Jay-Z. No rapper has ever headlined the show by himself. Granted, this is a "co-headline", but it will be the most predominate rap set in history.
And CBS & the NFL really aren't fucking with Rihanna after that little stunt she pulled in 2014, I see. Because there's no reason she doesn't have a Halftime Show yet.
whatd she do?
In 2014, Rihanna had secured the bag with the NFL. And they were going to use "Run This Town" as their Thursday Night Football theme song every single week. She was obviously going to book the Halftime Show at the end of the season -- in 2015 -- over Katy Perry. Well, in 2014, video footage leaked of Ray Rice beating his girlfriend. And the NFL caught a lot of heat. They changed the direction of Thursday Night Football that week, and removed a bunch of songs. Trying to appear more serious and respectful of the matter. Rihanna let her fans convince her that they removed her, because she was a victim of domestic violence.
She got on Twitter and did this:
What she didn't know is the NFL planned to use her music again the following week, but the damage had been done. After the tweet, they cut all ties with her.
It seemed all was forgiven when she did this:
But then she canceled the GRAMMYs the day before.
