Justin Timberlake, Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime-show controversy, Janet Jackson, NFL
The NFL championship is set to take place in Minneapolis on February 4.
Citing an insider, the report says "as of right now, it will just be Justin -- no surprise performers."
Rumors had held that Timberlake's son, Silas, and his wife, Jessica Biel, might perform alongside Jay-Z.
Timberlake appeared in the 2017 Super Bowl in an ad for Bai Antioxidant Infusion water, throwing it back to his 'NSync days with a customized rendition of hit "Bye Bye Bye."
The last time the 36-year-old performed in the halftime show was 13 years ago, when his viral performance alongside Janet Jackson sparked the so-called "nipplegate."
