Justin Timberlake, 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Performer will be making his third appearance in the famous footballing event. He is one of the best American musicians to have repeat performances in the Super Bowl which is watched by millions of people worldwide, if not beyond!

His third appearance as the Super Bowl LII Performer comes as his first since his historic Rock Your Body 2004 performance with Janet Jackson. In the course of this, he ripped off a piece of her upper costume due to what he termed “wardrobe malfunction” during their halftime performance. The unfortunate incident was dubbed “Nipplegate” as it revealed glaringly, Janet Jackson’s right breast. It happened that during a duet with her, Justin grabbed her leather bodice, perhaps a lot more than he should have and in the event of that, ripped off a patch covering her once concealed and publicly unseen breast.

These took place within a flash of seconds but the eyes of attentive watchers were quick to capture and memories the rear display. Both apologized and the Super Bowl Halftime performer for 2018 called the reveal a “wardrobe malfunction.” We accept his apology and won’t abuse the occurrence. But perhaps naming him as the Super Bowl LII performer for 2018 simply stirs up imaginations whether there will likely be a repeat of that event. We sincerely hope not!

He is also a previous Super Bowl Halftime Performer of 2001 (as part of NSYNC, alongside Aerosmith, Mary J Blige, Nelly and his then-girlfriend ) and in 2004 where he sang alongside , P Diddy, Nelly (again) and Kid Rock. Thus, this will be his 3^rd appearance as the Super Bowl LII Performer.

• His performance will last a solid “thirteen minutes of insanity,” according to Marty Kudelka, choreography director.
• The record Super Bowl LII performer is not worried if anything goes wrong because according to him “perfection is the death of greatness.” So, hey! he is not worried.
• He might be singing Carl Douglas’s hit Kung Fu Fighting.
• He might do the show without a guest star. This is in contrast to the rumours that there might be an NSYNC reunion of some sort.
• A lot of things have been said about . The Minnesota Vikings played in Prince purple and the late singer even recorded a fight song Purple and Gold to be played at their games. The Super Bowl performer respects Prince and Michael Jackson to have had the greatest influence in shaking his music.
