Kendrick Lamar is now set to make history and become the first rapper that is going to take the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show solo. The NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music recently confirmed that Lamar will take the stage during the 2025 Super Bowl, which will be held on February 9 in New Orleans.
As one of the most influential artists of his generation, Lamar has always been the recipient of critical acclaim for his influence on global culture. His performance in the 2025 Super Bowl will be used to reaffirm the fact that rap is still very much in control of the entirety of the music industry.
Lamar, who has 17 Grammy Awards to his name, previously performed during the 2022 Super Bowl in a hip-hop-themed segment. His headlining status comes after a series of conflicts with another rap artist, Drake, who has compared his music career to the Super Bowl in terms of achievement, making the already anticipated performance of Lamar even more thrilling.
