Star reveals SHOCKING amount paid to Super Bowl singers

Singer Mary J. Blige, who is part of the superstar lineup for this year’s half-time Super Bowl performance, has revealed how much performers are paid for the big show.

The Family Affair singer will take to the stage during the NFL showpiece game next Monday alongside the likes of Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar.

Although more than 100 million people are expected to tune in to watch, Blige has confirmed none of the artists receive a fee for the prestigious gig.

But she said long term, the appearance would generate a lot of opportunities.

“I mean, listen, you’re going to be paid for the rest of your life off of this. People are going to be knocking at your door… They don’t have to pay me…but if they were paying, it’d be a lot of money,” she told The Jasmine Brand’s Instagram account.

“But I’m good…This is the opportunity of a lifetime.”

The singer’s comments come after the 51-year-old star recently promised the show will be the “most epic thing” in hip-hop history.

“Man, this thing is the most epic thing in music, like in hip-hop, R&B history, this is — man, L.A. is never ever gonna be the same,” she said.

“I watched the rehearsals — watching each person’s performance, I had goosebumps watching it.

“Just know this: It’s some history, man. It’s a celebration how far you know hip-hop has come, how far R&B has come…music and our culture.”

Snoop Dogg previously revealed he’s preparing “one of the greatest Super Bowl half-time shows” of all time.

“Me, Dr. Dre, Eminem, had a light discussion about what we trying to do. It’s about to go full speed ahead,” he said.

“I tell you, this it’s gonna be one of the greatest Super Bowl half-time shows that you ever witnessed. Dr. Dre is on it. He’s putting his time together with the specifics and the dynamics of what we’re doing.”

The Super Bowl LVI, is broadcast live and free on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus next Monday 14 February from 7.00am AWST.
