There's been no shortage of parties and events packed with celebrities during Super Bowl LVII weekend in and around the Phoenix, Arizona area, where the big game is being played, and across the country.
Jay-Z, 53, and Kevin Hart, 43, were just two of the big stars that attended Michael Rubin's 2023 Fanatics Super Bowl Party on Saturday, one day before a new NFL champion will be crowned.
It's one of many celebrity-filled parties and events being held ahead of the face-off between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in nearby Glendale.
But over the years, Rubin, the Fanatics CEO, has established his Super Bowl-themed soirees as being among the more coveted with celebs and partygoers leading into the Super Bowl.
Jay-Z (born Shawn Corey Carter) was spotted chatting with some friends in the outside patio of the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, dressed in black pants with a matching hoodie and white sneakers.
