The host reminded that this will be Mary J. Blige’s second time on the Super-Bowl stage, and asked her if she’s nervous or cool with it. “I’m cool. I’m Cool. I mean, it’s the world that’s gonna be watching but I think I’ll be alright.”
She continues, “The first time I did it I was in the background with Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and I was just in the background but I’m gonna be in the front with all my peers which is Dre, Snoop, Eminem and Kendrick. I’m a Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.”
“The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr. Dre said in a statement previously. “I’m grateful to JAY-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J.
