Grammy Award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar is heading the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why,” Lamar said in a statement. “They got the right one.”
Lamar is one of the most critically acclaimed rappers in music. Lamar’s 17 Grammys are the third-most by a rapper, behind Jay-Z and Kanye West, with 24 apiece.
Though respected within the hip-hop community, Lamar’s mainstream stardom increased exponentially in 2024 because of his feud with Drake.
Lamar’s diss track, Not Like Us, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Like That and Squabble Up also reached No. 1.
2024’s GNX became Lamar’s fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.
Lamar previously performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in 2022.

Will any more guests join Lamar during the halftime show?
If Lamar performs Like That, Future and Metro Boomin could join the Compton rapper onstage to perform their verses.
Keep an eye on Lil Wayne. Weezy is from New Orleans, the home of Super Bowl LIX. Lil Wayne lobbied to perform at halftime before Roc Nation chose Lamar. Lamar may let the hometown hero join him during the halftime show.
