Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens has publicly called on music mogul Jay-Z to consider him for a role in the Super Bowl halftime show. Owens, a six-time Pro Bowl selection and 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, made the request after Jay-Z's entertainment company, Roc Nation, became the NFL's live music entertainment strategist in 2019.
The Hall of Famer suggested he could bring a unique perspective to the production, given his extensive NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals. Owens ranks third all-time in NFL receiving yards with 15,934 and second in receiving touchdowns with 153.
Jay-Z has not publicly responded to Owens' request. The Super Bowl halftime show has featured major musical acts in recent years, with Roc Nation helping produce performances by artists including The Weeknd, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna.
