Last week speculation was rife as to which “top recording artist” would star in PEPSI‘s eagerly anticipated Super Bowl 50 commercial.
The drinks giant promised a spectacle staring a major musician in the TV spot, which will air to the 100+ million estimated to tune in on Sunday night.
Well, wonder no more. Because said ad has been poured online by PEPSI.
Find out who stars below…
It’s Janelle Monae!
Titled ‘The Joy of Dance,’ the commercial celebrates music greats past and present.
Per a new press release:
Janelle Monáe joins Pepsi on the journey to one of pop culture’s biggest moments of the year – Super Bowl 50 and the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. The TV spot also follows the journey and “passing of the mic” to Janelle as she puts her own twist on the famous Pepsi “Joy of Cola” jingle.
Congrats, we guess.

I just cannot get into her pretentious music and style. She’s pretty though.
Yes! She’s gorgeous. Did you see my little note to to you? Lol! I really did mean what I said, though.
Which note boo?
It was in the Chart Check Rihanna post on page 3. Lol! I think you’ll have a kii to yourself when you read it.
Lol kii I don’t even remember what I said to you
Lol! I forgot too, but all I know is you took one for the Ci Squad and GOT ME ALL THE WAY TOGETHER. I was impressed and dying on the floor at the same time. Lol!
How does she get these big ads like beats, itunes and pepsi when she has yet to have an actual hit?
…and Covergirl.
Kris Jenner must be her Manager. Not at ALL who i expected but.. Can’t hate on the hustle. congrats.
and yall just knew up and down that it was Rihanna. Kiii
Pepsi and The Super Bowl are AntifRih lol
Slay!!!! Yes Monae, yes! Glad it’s not a “typical” pop girl but some diversity like it should be!
Who cares , it’s been confirmed the queen is doing at least 2 new songs !!she rehearsed last night at the stadium & had the music low only so her team could hear it ! I got the tea on that #Formation #TheBlackBillGates ??? can’t wait ???& her and Bruno are going to song together ? I can’t !!!
*sing
OMG OMG OMG (AHHHHHHH ⛪⛪⛪) Will she premier a new song ???? IM THIRSTY AF NOW!!!! Its just a few days away!!! She better bring SASHA out the closet!!
Yes !!! This is not a drill !!! This is frfr !! I can’t wait for the choreography!!! I’m so excited !!! Omg !!
I’m jp I like Janelle !! Congrats to her
She’s fantastic and absolutely gorgeous. Nice commercial
Erm wheres this top recording artist?! Has she scanned Cling Film yet?! Might as well got Miguel or Future swear this world gone CRAY
Lol! Coldplay is about to be pissed when Bey leaves them in the dust. Watch everyone tune in to watch in waves as soon as people start going crazy over her coming in stage on social media. I still don’t know why Bruno will perform and what he can even contribute.
I like Janelle Monae
A good look for her. I like a few of her songs, but her music is not for me. But I love her album themes tho.
But I thought you guys said that a “Top Recording Artist” was premiering a commercial…
If this is who they chose..I definitely would’ve had Ciara.she cool and all but she need to put in more work first..earn your keep! Lol
Not y’all dragging Janelle, mess

I’m screaming @ Beyonce debuting music at the damn Super Bowl. Simply telling Frih, “no.”
You know damn well Beyonce isn’t topping the Hot 100 chart.
Shut!!! Your Dixk Sucker!!!
I like it can’t wait for the queen though and gaga I hope she does premire a new song
Congrats Janelle…. Totally unexpected though….

When pepsi wants a high energy commercial, They know who to call….. her name Is CIARA!
Yas great move! Unexpected and a very talented one. Love Janelle. The commercial itself was cool too.
Pepsi and all those drinks are cancer for you guys though. Please learn to eat and drink healthier 🙂
