Roger Goodell Explains Jay-Z’s Super Bowl Timing

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Jay-Z had a vision for his Super Bowl halftime show as he explained why the rapper finally accepted the gig. Goodell discussed the decision during an October 27 interview with Ebro Darden and Eddie Francis on Apple Music’s “The Ebro Show.” He said Jay had put off the performance before telling him, “I wanna do it this year. I think he’s already got his vision; he already understands what he wants to do,” Goodell said.
