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 decide makes a ton of sense. Kendrick, a 17x Grammy winner, had arguably the music of the summer season 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 all people, my title is Kendrick Lamar and I’ll be acting at Tremendous 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 already know there’s just one alternative to win a championship. No spherical 2s. Let’s get it!”
Talking of Drizzy, the “spherical 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 yr. The league sometimes waits till a couple of 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 yr Usher had the honour 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 typically carry out friends … and Kendrick has labored with everybody from Em to Travis Scott … so count on some pals.
And maybe a Taylor Swift cameo?! Kendrick was on the “Dangerous Blood” remix with TS almost a decade in the past.
