Jay-Z is totally relaxed after choosing himself for the Super Bowl halftime show, and he’s not letting outside chatter get to him.
TMZ caught up with Hov in New York City on Tuesday, where a photographer asked whether he felt any pressure to deliver a standout performance at Super Bowl 61 in February.

Jay smiled, laughed, and said there was no pressure at all, even with millions of viewers around the globe expected to tune in.
The photographer also asked how he plans to prepare for the halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and it sounds like he sees it as just another gig for the GOAT.
As TMZ reported, Jay-Z confirmed on Monday night what had been Hollywood’s worst-kept secret: that he’ll be the halftime performer. Since he’s the one who selects the acts, he simply picked himself.
With that in mind, it’s no wonder he’s feeling no pressure. Jay-Z is his own boss.
