When the rapper kicked off his Super Bowl performance at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, he was wearing a massive “a” chain.

SUPER BIG GIG

Kendrick was announced as the halftime show performer on September 8 of last year.

“Meet me in New Orleans,” he teased fans in the YouTube announcement.

 “I’ll be performing at Super Bowl LIX, will you be pulling up? I think so.

“You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship, no round twos.

“I wouldn’t want you to miss it, meet me in New Orleans.

“Put on your best dress too, even if you’re watching from home.”

Lamar will follow singer Usher, who performed at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in 2024.

NASTY FEUD

Kendrick has been feuding with fellow rapper Drake since 2023.

Four months after Kendrick was announced as the halftime performer, Drake filed a lawsuit against his record label, Universal Music Group, over his rival’s diss track Not Like Us.

In the January 2025 lawsuit, Drake claimed UMG “knew full well” the lyrics from Kendrick’s song accused him of being a pedophile.

Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, also claimed the label helped Kendrick snag the coveted spot as the Super Bowl halftime show performer.

Drake claimed Kendrick scored the gig to perform the diss track during “one of the most significant (and viewed) cultural events of the year.”

But attorney Camron Dowlatshahi, who deals in employment and entertainment cases, told The U.S. Sun Drake’s lawsuit could not stop Kendrick.
