Part of the excitement of a live show like the NFL Halftime Show is that we don't know what will happen until it does, like Usher's 2024 surprise guests or Rihanna's pregnancy announcement. But Kendrick's fight comes in the middle of an ongoing rap beef between him and rival Drake.

After the biggest year of his professional career — which resulted in five Grammy Awards for his iconic Drake diss “Not Like Us” — Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar will take the biggest stage in America when he performs at Super Bowl LIX this upcoming Sunday.

Kendrick Lamar, a 22-time Grammy winner (after taking home five more on Sunday), will take the Super Bowl LIX halftime stage on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, when the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will face off in a Super Bowl LVII rematch.
