T.I. won't confirm or deny if he'll join Rihanna on stage at the Super Bowl this weekend.

When the Super Bowl was held in Atlanta, T.I., unfortunately, didn’t get to hit the stage but perhaps, he’ll make up for it during Rihanna’s highly-anticipated halftime show. The “Born Again” singer recently held a press conference where she provided a bit of information. From what we know, it’ll be a thirteen-minute set filled with some of her biggest hits. However, the specific details haven’t been revealed as of yet, including the potential surprise guests she might bring out. 

Over the past few months, fans have speculated that she’ll bring a few artists out on stage. Given the number of hit records she has in her arsenal, specifically with hip-hop’s elite, it seems possible that she might bring out some A-Listers. Previous reports indicated that Jay-Z’s had a role in helping Rihanna with her performance. However, one might wonder if he’ll hit the stage. The two have collaborated on massive records like “Run The Town” and “Umbrella” – two massive singles that would be fitting for the Super Bowl stage.

Is T.I. Performing At The Super Bowl With Rihanna?

Billboard recently asked T.I. whether he’ll appear during the halftime show with Rihanna to perform, “Live Your Life.” After all, the Paper Trail banger topped the Billboard Hot 100 and later, was certified platinum. “Zip it. Ay man, I will not confirm or deny any potential appearance. It’s an awesome opportunity,” he said. “It was awesome to have the opportunity to work with such an iconic figure and such a prolific individual and such a beautiful spirit altogether. We’ll see what happens.”

It seems like we’ll have to wait until Sunday to see if T.I. and Rihanna will reunite on stage. However, if not this weekend, then perhaps, down the line. Rumors began floating this week that Rihanna’s currently plotting a tour. So, if she ends up in Atlanta or the surrounding area, hopefully, we’ll see her bring out T.I. to perform their chart-topping single. For now, we’ll have to see what Rihanna has up her sleeves for her performance this weekend. Sound off in the comments with your predictions for Rihanna's halftime show performance and let us know what songs you want to hear.
