Super Bowl Halftime Exec Says Jay-Z Gets Final Say On Who Performs

Super Bowl Halftime Show executive producer Jesse Collins confirmed that Jay-Z makes the final decision on which artists perform each year.

This comes amid backlash from Lil Wayne fans following the announcement of Kendrick Lamar as the 2025 headliner, with many believing Wayne should have been chosen, especially with the event taking place in New Orleans.

Despite the controversy, Collins expressed confidence in Kendrick's performance, praising Jay-Z’s consistent artist selections.
