JAY-Z also received two nominations for executive producing Riri’s Super Bowl halftime show in the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Directing For a Variety Special categories. Last year, he also won an Emmy for the Super Bowl show by Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.
“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” said JAY-Z. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”
