Yesterday, the Post reported that a certain "A-list" performer would be headlining an outdoor, public concert in the streets of the Flatiron District in honor of the NBA All-Star Weekend, which will be held next month at Madison Square Garden. And today, we may have just found out which A-lister: Bad Gal RiRi.

According to Page Six, Rihanna is currently in talks with Jay-Z's Roc Nation, who's organizing the event, to perform near Madison Square Park for 45 minutes on February 12th. No word on whether Jay (or more importantly, Bey) will perform as well, but the location's conspicuous proximity to Jay-Z's 40/40 Club certainly begs the question.
