The Super Bowl Halftime Show may be the grandest stage of them all, but it doesn’t cut the biggest check of them all.
In fact, it’s now widely more publicly known that performing on the platform does not come with monetary benefits.
This topic was put to Mary J. Blige, during the promotional run for her album and her own shared Halftime performance alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar this Sunday (Feb 13) at the SoFi Stadium.
Full story below…
During her appearance on The Cruz Show, the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul made clear that “I’m good’ and stressed payment is not needed for a gig that will feed one with paying opportunities for the rest of their career.

Do you agree with MJB?
Screaming! Even Burger King paid her 2M lol. Wow! NFL, y’all can do better than this.
You can scream all you want bet your dumb ass don’t know they never get paid exposure to billions pays itself that exposure will propel them
Album sales for her new album and all the millions she gonna make after so keep screaming
Hunnie, can’t wait to see her flop album debut outside top 20 with less than 15K pure sales even after Super Bowl. She peaked at Family affair and Be without you era
🤣😂🤣they probably spent all the budget on Dr.Dre or Eminem💅🏾 poor Mary
I’m LOVE Mary’s new album. She definitely deserve compensation. Most people will be watching to see her anyway. No one cares about Dr. Dre
Sorry, I’m sober now. Mary’s new album sucks ass. Trashy album! I gotta take my Med double now.
I am even more sober now and I love the album sooo much. Album of the year! Hands down
So you actually think a huge platform like the super bowl won’t fuel huge album sales lil f a g you wouldn’t know impact of a super bowl performance lil queen
Her last two albums were certified plastic. Lol. I doubt her new album can push to certified gold at this level. If she’s a real Queen, then why they didn’t pay her s***? The answer is she couldn’t even find her own worth.
I can tell Mary is really desperate to perform on Super Bowl. 😂🤣😂 Queen of charity💅🏾
Your broke ass would love the opportunity to perform for billions around world at the super bowl Mary makes 400,000 per episode on power def not desperate b i t c h
Not for free. Diva has standard and keep it classy. Mary ain’t no Diva but a Queen of no charge. 💅🏾🤣😂🤣😂 she’s gonna donate some hardcore vocals. Just sad!
I understand what she means.
The exposure is priceless.
Superbowl can also spark renewed interest in ur career. Look at shakira for example.
Dont get me wrong, she wasnt flopping, but america finally stopped sleeping on her after the superbowl
Love the humble vibe she still has
Y’all really didn’t know that artist do not get paid to perform? Artist would have to be apart of the Music Union to get paid, the NFL doesn’t pay “appearance fees”. For y’all to know so much about the industry and stay ready to call artist flops, y’all are really dense❗
Though, I don’t understand what an artist like THEE MJB needs with more exposure. Mary seems to always captivate audience world wide, whether through music or acting. Being commercial shouldn’t be a factor anymore when you can sing a 20 year old song & kill the audience.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾They are ignorant nobody gets paid yet they ready to say flop smh
Who ever running this site could have at least posted her new video rent money featuring Dave East
I CAN PREDICT HER SUPERBOWL SETLIST: FAMILY AFFAIR, JUST FINE, THAT ONE, BE WITHOUT YOU, THEN OTHER SONGS THAT NO ONE CARES OR HER STAGE TIME IS UP ALREADY
It’s about exposure, platform,everything isn’t about money all the time. Performing at the Superbowl in front of millions of people that’s including television, that’s a blessing!
