Before Rihanna, there was Dr. Dre. The American rapper and producer, who performed at the Super Bowl halftime show last year, had a few words for the one who was announced this Sunday as the next headliner.
The king of hip-hop opened up to Apple Music radio station 1 hour after Rihanna’s announcement:
“I’m a huge fan of Rihanna. I can’t wait to see what she’s going to do,” he said, as broadcast by the hollywood reporter. “This is your chance to blow our minds. And we’ve set the bar extremely high.”
Because Dr. Dre was not alone on stage at SoFi Stadium, in California, on February 13: he was surrounded by various experts of American hip-hop, from Snoop Dogg to Kendrick Lamar through Mary J. Blige and Eminem.
“An Extreme Level of Pressure”
“Je ne suis pas sûr d’avoir jamais autant eu le trac”, at-il declared to Apple Music 1. “On s’est éclaté, me si c’est beaucoup et qu’il faut se fier à beaucoup de gens. It seems that the faut is fier à 3000 people pour que le show deroule well for 13 minutes. of chicken.” And from advice to the interpreter of Tough guy:
“Surround yourself with the right people and have fun. That’s basically what it’s all about, making sure you have the right people around you. She may want to know about the equipment we use for our show.”
An honor reserved for the most popular artists
The Super Bowl, the final of the annual American football championship, is a national event across the Atlantic. It brings together 112 million viewers each year in the United States, the prices of the advertising spots that are broadcast during the evening are counted in millions of dollars and the traditional half-time concert is always offered by the most popular artists in the world: Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez or The Weeknd have followed one another in recent years.
This concert, which will take place on February 12, 2023, will mark Rihanna’s return to great fanfare. Having become a cosmetics mogul with her own Fenty Beauty line, the singer had abandoned music for years. Her last album Antidated 2016.
