]]>Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg opened the halftime show with their collaboration “The Next Episode” and proceeded with the cover of 2Pac’s “California Love”. They were followed by a guest performer by 50 Cent, who got the crowd wild with the rendition of his smash hit “In Da Club”.
Things got even more amazing from there, and Mary J. Blige gave us one of the night’s most unforgettable moments while performing “Family Affair” and “No More Drama”. She was followed by Kendrick Lamar, who did a great job representing a new generation of hip-hop.
He joined Eminem for “Forgot About Dre” before leaving the stage and letting the fellow rapper deliver a show-stopping rendition of his hit song “Lose Yourself”. The halftime show ended with all five headliners performing a joint rendition of “Still D.R.E.”
The Super Bowl LVI was held on February 13th, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, with the Los Angeles Rams defeating the Cincinnati Bengals to win the title.

Pepsi and NFL assembled this lineup along with Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation and they’re describing the upcoming show as a larger-than-life performance of hits from the quintet’s collective catalog. For some of the artists, Super Bowl LVI hits close to home because it will be the first in nearly three decades to be held in the Los Angeles area. The Big Game will take place on February 13th, 2022 at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

“Today we are pleased to announce that we are in pre-production on the first of what we know will be a collection of series inspired by the dynamic world of Power,” said Kemp as Blige entered the room. “Power Book II: Ghost will continue the journey of some of Power’s most controversial characters.”
“This is probably the most exciting thing that’s going to happen to me this year,” Blige, said onstage at the event. “I’ve been a fan of Power since the very beginning and I want to thank Courtney Kemp and ’50 Cent’ for starting this conversation with me.”
“I’ve known so many Tashas, I’ve known so many Ghosts. I’ve dated so many Ghosts,” the music icon added, name checking Power characters. “I’m a huge fan for life, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.”

]]>The hip-hop legends will be co-headlining a tour this summer. The 22-date run debuts July 11 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The summer tour will run through September and will include shows in Atlanta, Detroit, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Interestingly, no date has been announced in the duo’s mutual hometown of New York.
Given Blige’s record as a super successful tour coheadliner, having previously gone on tour with Jay-Z and Maxwell, it’s fair to assume that the tour will be a major success. This will be Blige’s first tour since her 2017 Strength of a Man tour.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 19.
Check out the tour’s dates below.
