Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Prince Tribute Gets Mixed Reactions
Sunday night, Justin Timberlake made his official return to the Super Bowl. Thirteen years ago, he and Janet Jackson made headlines, creating the term ‘nipplegate‘, when they performed together. As expected, there was no surprise appearance by Jackson. Prior to his performance, she released a statement confirming that she would NOT be performing.
However, Timberlake’s set did include a tribute to Prince. Prior to his performance, it was rumored that his set included a hologram of the late singer. Prince’s drummer and close friend Sheila E, shared on social media that Prince was not a fan of holograms and considered them ‘demonic’.
Here’s a screen shot of an old interview of Prince being asked about holograms.
Here’s a clip of Timberlake’s Prince tribute.

Janet wasn’t having it. NSYNC wasn’t there…I knew he would have to call in some extra reinforcements but I didn’t think they would be from beyond the grave. Prince clearly did not agree with this. Smh
Was it a hologram? I thought it was just a video! I love Justin’s music and thought he did a great job. I just wish they would let black artists pay tribute to our black legends.
I did not like that song choice. I think the people of Minneapolis were shocked of Prince’s death and probably not over it yet. So playing I would die for you was not right.
Just disrespectful to go against my man’s wishes like that. And that show was TRASH.
It was NOT a hologram ppl although it did however suck ass he can’t do Prince Rogers Nelson… no one still walking this earth can imitate the untouchable man or his art talent or legacy
