During Super Bowl LVII weekend, there has been no shortage of celebrity-filled parties and events in and around Phoenix, Arizona, where the game is being played, as well as across the country.
Jay-Z, 53, and Kevin Hart, 43, were just two of the many celebrities who visited Michael Rubin’s 2023 Fanatics Super Bowl Party on Saturday, one day before the next NFL champion is declared.
It’s one of several celebrity-filled parties and activities planned before of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in adjacent Glendale.
However, Rubin, the Fanatics CEO, has established his Super Bowl-themed soirees as some of the most sought after by celebrities and partygoers in the run-up to the big game.
Jay-Z (born Shawn Corey Carter) was photographed conversing with friends on the outside terrace of the Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, while clad in black trousers, a matching sweatshirt and white trainers.

The New York City native, whose Roc Nation agency includes a sports management division since 2013, also wore fashionable dark shades as the sun shone down on a day when the temperature reached the mid-70s Fahrenheit.
Hart, who appeared to be the life of the party, showcased his fashion sense as well as the raucous and amusing side of his personality in a really slick black jacket with jagged white trim, matching trousers and trainers.
He made his grand appearance with his wife, 38-year-old Eniko Parrish, sporting a leggy costume of blue-patterned shorts, a brown Gucci crop top, and open-toe shoes.
When he wasn’t making the rounds and meeting other celebrity guests, the couple spent some time with the party’s host, Michael Rubin, who once attempted to hand-feed Hart while they were all eating lunch, which was funny.
The Ride Along comedian was also spotted conversing with singer and TikTok sensation Dixie D’Amelio, 21, who looked stylish in golden trousers, a black bustier, and matching platform boots.
It’s no secret that Hart supports his hometown club, the Eagles, and has recently shown his love and allegiance by wearing team paraphernalia, including a letterman jacket.

Over 2,000 people were turned away at the door, including several who tried to pay six figures for entry and one who attempted to jump a barrier at the Biltmore Hotel’s front entrance but was led away by security.
According to a party attendee, “some tried to go through the main hotel entrance, some tried to hop the security fence, and others tried to sneak into the VIP check in.” But many security personnel handled would-be trespassers admirably. Fort Knox would have been much easier to infiltrate!
While four outstanding acts were confirmed ahead of time, Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl Party featured nine, five of whom were surprise guests: Travis Scott, J Balvin, DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, The Chainsmokers, A$AP Ferg, Fabolous, Bobby Shmurda. During his surprise set, DJ Khaled dubbed the star-studded gathering ‘Rubin-Palooza’
