50 Cent has raised questions about Jay-Z’s involvement in producing the Super Bowl halftime show following allegations of sexual assault against Jay-Z in a civil lawsuit.
In 2020, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation joined forces with the NFL to put together the well-known halftime show.
50 Cent’s meme raises eyebrows about Jay-Z
Recent claims allege that Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulted a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
The lawsuit was initially filed against Combs in October but has since included Jay-Z, whose birth name is Shawn Carter.
The allegations accuse the two artists of drugging and attacking the plaintiff.
On Instagram, 50 Cent shared a humorous meme of himself laughing and driving away, asking, “So, are we still having the Super Bowl halftime show? Just checking for a friend!”
Jay-Z pushes back against lawsuit
Carter has strongly denied the allegations, describing the plaintiff’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, as a “despicable person” and an “ambulance chaser.”
He also expressed intentions to discuss the matter with his wife, Beyoncé, and their kids.
In light of the lawsuit, he has countersued Buzbee for harassment and defamation.
In response, Buzbee, who has over 120 clients with claims against Combs, labeled Carter’s countersuit a bullying strategy and commended his client’s determination.
Since 2020, Roc Nation has produced the NFL’s popular halftime show, which has featured performances from stars like Rihanna, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Beyoncé.
This year’s Super Bowl will be headlined by Kendrick Lamar, who is linked to Roc Nation.
50 Cent’s comments have reignited discussion about his ongoing rivalry with Jay-Z, which traces back to their early careers.
Previously, Jackson claimed that Jay-Z attempted to sideline him during the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show, a narrative that reportedly faltered after Eminem intervened.
As the accusations against Carter persist, uncertainty surrounds his future role in the NFL’s high-profile event.
