Kendrick Lamar will carry out the halftime present at Tremendous Bowl LIX in New Orleans, the NFL and hip hop celebrity introduced Sunday morning … one of many highest profile gigs on the earth!
The choose makes a ton of sense. Kendrick, a 17x Grammy winner, had arguably the track of the summer time in “Not Like Us,” and with Drake, was a part of the most important rap beef in no less than a decade.
“What’s the deal everybody, my name is Kendrick Lamar and I’ll be performing at Super Bowl 59,” Ok. Dot stated within the announcement video, as he stood on a soccer discipline, in entrance of an enormous American flag, and fired balls from a Jugs machine.
“Will you be pulling up? I hope so. You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round 2s. Let’s get it!”
Talking of Drizzy, the “round 2” reference within the halftime announcement is probably going a shot on the rapper … who has been teasing a second go-around with Lamar.
As for the timing of the halftime present headliner, the NFL wasted no time this 12 months. The league usually waits till just a few video games into the season, however this time round, spilled the beans on Sunday earlier than week 1 kickoff.
The NFL is not any stranger to locking down prime expertise for the SB halftime present. Final 12 months Usher had the respect of performing, whereas Rihanna held down SB 57. 56 was Dre, Eminem, Snoop, Mary J., and 50 Cent … and it was epic.
The present has featured legends like Prince and Michael Jackson.
Performers usually deliver out visitors … and Kendrick has labored with everybody from Em to Travis Scott … so count on some associates.
And maybe a Taylor Swift cameo?! Kendrick was on the “Bad Blood” remix with TS practically a decade in the past.
