Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar announced he will be headlining the halftime show at SUPER BOWL LIX in New Orleans. In a statement shared with Entertainment Weekly, the rapper expressed that “rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.” Of course, this isn’t Lamar’s first time on the SUPER BOWL stage. In 2022, he joined Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and 50 Cent during their halftime show in a west coast hip-hop showcase. The SUPER BOWL LIX takes place on Feb. 9, 2025, airing live on TSN and CTV.
