During Super Bowl LII’s highly anticipated halftime show, Justin Timberlake tried to avoid any and all controversy following his last performance in 2004 with Janet Jackson. However, while he succeeded in avoiding another Nipplegate, he did not succeed with his Prince homage.

It was rumored prior to his halftime performance that Timberlake would share the stage with a Prince hologram at some point during the show, however, those rumors were quickly squashed. Instead, viewers were treated to a projection of Prince as Timberlake honored the late singer with a duet.

Timberlake sang a rendition of “I Would Die 4 U” along with video, vocals and a fluttering projection featuring Prince and fans were not happy.

Actor and comedian Sinbad also had choice words for Timberlake following the performance. In a colorful tweet, he wrote, “Okay punkass justin (sic) Timberlake. You was cool till you pulled that Prince bullshit. You dissed Prince on a track of yours and you dissed him onstage when you lowered the mic stand onstage when prince won an award. Later for ya ass.”

The comedian later followed up with his final thoughts on the Super Bowl…

 

While it was a good night for Philadelphia Eagles fans, looks like it wasn’t such a great night for Timberlake.

NFL responds to rumours of JAY-Z Super Bowl half-time show

The NFL has responded to rumours that JAY-Z has turned down an offer to perform at the 2018 Super Bowl half-time show.

It’s reported the rapper refused to do the show out of respect for Colin Kaepernick.

He’s an American footballer who refuses to stand during the US national anthem because of what he calls the oppression of people of colour in America.

JAY-Z dedicated a song to him during a New York show earlier this month.

They said: “No decisions have been made on the performer(s) and we are not going to speculate on particular artists.

“Along with Pepsi, we know that we will put on a spectacular show. When it is time to announce her name we will do it. Or his name. Or their names.”

Lady Gaga played the 2017 half-time show.

The performance was the second most-watched Super Bowl half-time show of all-time.

Next year’s Super Bowl will take place on 4 February 2018 at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Earlier this month it was reported that Britney Spears was “in talks” to perform – but the rumours were quickly denied.

“I can tell you it’s not Britney,” said Justin Toman, head of sports marketing for the Super Bowl main sponsor PepsiCo.

Kanye West, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber and Rihanna are among the other names apparently being considered for next year’s half-time show.
