Rick Ross Backs the "World Boss": Vybz Kartel for the First-Ever FIFA World Cup Halftime Show?
The "Biggest Boss" has spoken, and he’s looking toward Jamaica for the world's biggest stage. During a high-energy appearance on 'The Late Run Show', Miami mogul Rick Ross didn’t hesitate when asked who should headline the historic, first-ever FIFA World Cup halftime show in 2026.
His answer? The one and only Vybz Kartel. As the world prepares for the tournament to culminate at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026, Ross’s endorsement has sent shockwaves through the music industry, reframing the conversation around Dancehall’s global influence.
This isn't just a dream lineup; it's a cultural statement. With the 2026 World Cup introducing a Super Bowl-style halftime performance curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Global Citizen, the stakes for the inaugural act are sky-high.
By naming Kartel, Rick Ross isn't just picking a personal favorite, he’s highlighting a genre that has shaped modern pop, afrobeats, and hip-hop. As the "World Boss" continues to dominate digital charts and maintain an iron grip on the culture, the prospect of a Dancehall takeover in New Jersey is making the "fire" emojis fly across social media.
