Mary J. Blige Calls Upcoming Super Bowl Performance An “Opportunity Of A Lifetime” While Discussing The Unpaid Gig

Mary J. Blige is aware of her music earns cash, even when they aren’t coming from the Nationwide Soccer League! As it’s possible you’ll already know, Mary is only one artist in a stacked record of Tremendous Bowl LVI performers coming to our screens later this week. She is the one feminine artist performing within the halftime present that includes Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar. She just lately joined hosts of ‘The Cruz Present’ and labeled the upcoming efficiency an “alternative of a lifetime” whereas discussing not being paid for the gig.

Per a current report by ‘Esquire’, the NFL solely funds the manufacturing of the halftime present, together with the employees concerned in making it occur! However the price ticket of doing so isn’t low cost. The NFL reportedly spent $13 million in manufacturing prices for the 2020 efficiency by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. So, the league saves cash on the 12 to 15-minute performances by not paying the big-name abilities they guide.

“You don’t must pay me, but when it was paying it might be some huge cash, however I’m good,” Mary advised the off-camera present hosts. “That is main, that is [an] alternative of a lifetime.”

Artists profit from the publicity prior, throughout, and following the halftime efficiency, which is among the most-anticipated, annual performances. CNBC stories that again in 2018, Justin Timberlake noticed a 534% enhance in his music gross sales throughout his efficiency.

So, whereas on-line audiences debate the annual subject, Mary is seemingly pushed by the chance (and attainable future checks). One of many hosts, who isn’t seen within the clip, responds to Mary’s remark by saying, “it pays itself.”

“That is [an] alternative of a lifetime. Eminem says that and Lucious says…that is the chance of a lifetime,” Mary responds with a chuckle. “You higher lose your self,” she repeats after the identical host.’
