The Super Bowl officially has its next halftime show performer.
Kendrick Lamar, 37, has been revealed as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, scheduled for Feb. 9, 2025. On Sunday, the "Not Like Us" rapper revealed the news on social media and in a YouTube video, where he was seen on a football field in front of an American flag.
"Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date," he said in a statement. "And I'll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one."
Lamar has made headlines throughout 2024 amid a feud with fellow rapper Drake, which has inspired multiple diss tracks between the two. He previously performed during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2022 alongside Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige.
Lamar will follow a well-received set by Usher, who headlined in 2024, and Rihanna, who performed in 2023 and revealed her pregnancy on stage.
