Make no mistake, the couple that gets paid together– stays together! Hip-hop’s royal couple Jay-Z and Beyonce have been tapped to headline the FIFA Soccer World Cup on June 10^th. Not only is having the King of Hip-hop and the hardest working bish in showbiz perform at the World Cup major, but it’s also the first time the event is being held on African soil. According to Kevin Hall, producer behind Live 8 concerts who has been hired to stage the event,

“Going into Africa during the World Cup will present a huge amount of logistics, like figuring out local transport, flights, hotels, all the stuff that a year ago people already reserved. Still, how often do you get to work on an Olympics or a World Cup? We’re really trying to highlight football and the cultures and colour and music of Africa so you will see a lot of great international artists. I think this will be one of the greatest shows ever produced for Africa”.

Other celebrities who may also perform are the Black Eyed Peas, Yolanda Soares, and a slew of international artists. Word is Akon may even make an appearance. The World Cup is predicted to draw in about 5 billions viewers globally!

Meanwhile, in the states Super Bowl fever is already on the rise despite the fact that the teams haven’t been chosen yet.  ESPN has already snagged triple threat Ne-Yo and Keri Hilson to perform at it’s annual Superbowl party February 5^th. This year’s Super Bowl game is going down in Miami and ESPN’s big bash will take place at the luxurious Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel. “Good Girl Gone Rated R” Rihanna and teen pop sensation Justin Bieber have also been tapped to perform at Pepsi’s Super Bowl Fan Jam on February 4^th.
